Preface
Nearly 40 years have passed since the First Edition of this book was published. In the intervening years, two editions of a slimmed down, student version, Basic Solid State Chemistry were published, followed by the Student Edition of what has ultimately become this, the Second Edition. And, several Nobel prizes have been awarded for Solid State Chemistry‐related discoveries! Although several changes to chapter titles and organisation of the main topics have been made, this Second Edition aims still to cover the fundamental science behind the synthesis, structures including defect structures, characterisation, properties and applications of inorganic materials. Relevant aspects of chemistry, physics and materials science are drawn upon to provide a coherent overview of Solid State Chemistry. In the First Edition, an introductory chapter was entitled ‘What is Solid State Chemistry’. With the passage of time, that is felt to be no longer necessary, but instead,
