Dynamic Processes in Solids Developments in Physical & Theoretical Chemistry Series
Coordonnateur : House James E.
The results obtained from kinetic studies on reactions in solids often depend on numerous factors. Therefore, it is important for researchers to understand how both chemical factors related to composition and procedural choices may influence outcomes. Dynamic Processes in Solids provides an authoritative overview of reactions in solids and helps readers interpret the results obtained from kinetic studies. In chapters written by active researchers, the reader will learn about choosing appropriate experimental techniques and their limitations for studying various types of reactions. Beginning with an introduction to numerous aspects of rate processes in solids and experimental techniques, information is provided on rate laws, factors affecting rates, diffusion, and sintering. Subsequent chapters deal with electrical conductivity in dispersed phase polymers, thermochemical reactions for producing solid materials, reactions in coordination compounds, dynamic observations on plastic deformation, light driven phenomena in quantum materials, decomposition of perovskite photovoltaic compounds, and reaction of oxygen radicals with surfaces. This bookis a practical introduction to the field for chemists and researchers whose work is directly related to dynamic changes in solids, and additionally for those in related fields whose work would be enhanced by an understanding of these types of rate processes.
James E. House is Emeritus Professor of Chemistry at Illinois State University, USA, and Scholar in Residence at Illinois Wesleyan University, USA. He received B.S. and M.A. degrees from Southern Illinois University and the Ph.D. from the University of Illinois, Urbana. In over 50 years of teaching, he taught numerous courses in inorganic and physical chemistry and several special topics courses. His research resulted in over 150 publications in professional journals, many dealing with reactions of solids. He has authored several books on kinetics, quantum mechanics, and inorganic chemistry for Elsevier. He is the Series Editor for Developments in Physical & Theoretical Chemistry for Elsevier and has also edited volumes in the series. House was elected as a Fellow of the Illinois State Academy of Science and he has done extensive consulting in the chemical industry. He was selected as Professor of the Year in 2011 by the student body at Illinois Wesleyan University and in 2018 he was inducted into the Southern Illinois University Chemistry Alumni Hall of Fame.
