An Introduction to Metallic Glasses and Amorphous Metals
Auteurs : Stachurski Zbigniew H., Wang Gang
An Introduction to Metallic Glasses and Amorphous Metals gives a background on the physics of materials, describing relevant experimental techniques. The book presents the necessary background in physics, thermodynamics, and the mechanics of solids, before moving on to cover elasticity, plasticity, fracture and the anelastic behavior of metallic glasses, relating these properties to chemical composition, atomic arrangement, microstructure, and methods of preparation. In addition, it compares the structure-property relationships specific to metallic glasses with polycrystalline metals and alloys and describes the properties and characteristics of metallic glasses. The general features and behavior of metallic glasses are also analyzed and summarized.
The book includes full derivations of theory and equations and presents a compendium of experimental methods used in materials science to characterize and study metallic glasses and amorphous solids. The title is a comprehensive resource for any researcher interested in the materials science of metallic glasses and amorphous materials.

Dr. Gang Wang is full professor and Chair of Soil and Water Ecosystems Biophysics research group (SWEB) at China Agricultural University (CAU), and serves as the Dean of Department of Soil and Water Sciences at CAU, vice Chair of the Young Faculty Association of CAU, and associate Dean of ‘National Black Soil and Agriculture Research’, vice Chair of Soil Physics Division of Soil Science Society of China, Council Member of Soil Science Society of China, executive Editor of several scientific journals. Dr. Wang received his bachelor (2002) and master (2005) degrees in Chemistry from the University of Science and Technology of China, and PhD (2012) in Soil Biophysics at ETH Zurich, and then a post-doc research until the end of 2013. Dr. Wang started his independent research in Soil and Water Environmental Biophysics at CAU since 2014, and was approved as a full professor in 2016 (awarded CAU’s outstanding professor since 2019). Dr. Wang is currently supervising two Post-docs, seven doctoral students and six master students at CAU. The research interests of Wang’s group focus at the causes and consequences of microbial diversity; multi-scales interactions of microbes with environments, and links with soil and water source quality controls; mass flow dynamics and transport in the earth critical zone, and on interfaces between various spatial scales of physicochemical processes and biological activity in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, and impacts on ecological and agro-ecological processes and functions. Dr. Wang authored and co-authored over 40 refereed publications a
