Description for Low-Dimensional Solids
Hardcover. While knowledge of the origin of physical properties of many simple solids is comprehensive, this is not the case for low-dimensional solids. This field, however, has seen tremendous development in the last couple of years and the materials have a wide range of applications such as in display devices. Editor(s): Bruce, Duncan W.; Walton, Richard I.; O'Hare, Dermot. Series: Inorganic Materials Series. Num Pages: 308 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: TGM. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 230 x 157 x 21. Weight in Grams: 578.
With physical properties that often may not be described by the transposition of physical laws from 3D space across to 2D or even 1D space, low-dimensional solids exhibit a high degree of anisotropy in the spatial distribution of their chemical bonds. This means that they can demonstrate new phenomena such as charge-density waves and can display nanoparticulate (0D), fibrous (1D) and lamellar (2D) morphologies.
