My experience during study for graduates and postgraduates, and consulting to industry convinced
me that one of the main problems in reading the specialized literature on materials science is a particular kind of language barrier. In fact, the number of terms in the specialized literature is four to five times greater than in the textbooks and other educational aids. However, there appears to be no reference source available to help overcome this difficulty. Another problem, especially for self-educated readers, is establishing interrelations between the phenomena the terms denote. The available reference handbooks, containing mostly the definitions, offer little in the way of help. This book is designed to solve both problems: it bridges the terminological gap between the textbooks and professional literature while also affording the reader a coherent idea of structure formation and evolution.
Undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate students studying materials science and engineering at universities and colleges, as well as members of training and refresher courses, will find this book invaluable. At the same time, it will be useful to research and technological personnel in metallurgical and metalworking industries. The book will offer great help to material-oriented physicists, researchers, and
engineers developing crystalline materials for electronic applications. Moreover, chemists and engineers involved in microstructure research and the design of crystalline ceramics will discover a great deal of information usually lacking in textbooks, dictionaries, and reference books on ceramics.
The concise dictionary is also recommended as a reliable guide to nontechnical readers, such as managers, marketing and purchasing specialists, economists, insurance experts, and anyone else interested in materials science and engineering.
