Handbook on the Physics and Chemistry of Rare Earths: Including Actinides

by Jean-Claude G. Bunzli (Editor), Vitalij K. Pecharsky (Editor)

Overview

Handbook on the Physics and Chemistry of Rare Earths: Including Actinides, Volume 55, the latest release in a continuous series of books covering all aspects of rare earth science, including chemistry, life sciences, materials science and physics, presents comprehensive, broad, up-to-date, critical reviews written by highly experienced, invited experts. The series, which was started in 1978 by Professor Karl A. Gschneidner Jr., combines and integrates both the fundamentals and applications of these elements, with this release including chapters on Low Coordinate f-element Complexes and Organometallic Lanthanide SMMs.

• Presents up-to-date overviews and new developments in the field of rare earths, covering both their physics and chemistry
• Contains individual chapters that are comprehensive and broad, along with critical reviews
• Provides contributions from highly experienced, invited experts

About the Author

Professor J-C.G. Bünzli is a physical-inorganic and analytical chemist by training and an active researcher in the field of co-ordination and supramolecular chemistry of rare-earth ions. His research focuses mainly on designing self-assembled functional edifices containing rare-earth ions and with predetermined photophysical and/or magnetic properties.
Professor V.K. Pecharsky is an active researcher in the field of structure-physical property relationships of rare earth-based intermetallic compounds. He co-authored over 250 papers published in peer reviewed journals and as chapters in books, holds 10 patents, mostly related to preparation and processing rare earth-based alloys.

Editorial Reviews

"Many references are presented which have to be used if you are new to this area of research since the authors assume an advanced reader. Materials scientists working in any of these areas might be interested in this book. It presents highly theoretical work and requires a strong background in the topics being presented for some current topics in solid-state physics. " —IEEE
