Designed for the undergraduate student, this book avoids intense mathematics to present the theory and application of kinetics in a clear, reader-friendly way. Students are first introduced to the fundamental concepts of kinetics, with illustrated diagrams, examples, text boxes, and homework questions that impart a unified, intuitive understanding. Further chapters cover the application of these concepts in the context of materials science, with real-world examples including silicon processing and integrated circuit fabrication, thin-film deposition, carbon-14 dating, steel degassing, energy conversion, and more. Instructor materials including a test bank are available through the companion website, providing a complete resource for the undergraduate materials science student.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAt its core, kinetics deals with rates, telling us how fast something will take place - for example, how fast water will evaporate, or how fast molten silicon will solidify. This book is designed to provide students with an introduction to kinetics' underlying principles, without rigorous math to distract from understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnderstand universally important kinetic concepts like diffusion and reaction rate\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eModel common kinetic processes both quantitatively and qualitatively\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLearn the mechanisms behind important and interesting materials systems\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExamine the behaviors, properties, and interactions of relevant solid materials\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThere are a large number of books on chemical kinetics, but there are far fewer that focus on materials kinetics, and virtually none that provide an accessible, introductory-level treatment of the subject. \u003ci\u003eMaterials Kinetics Fundamentals\u003c\/i\u003e fills that need, with clear, detailed explanations of these universal concepts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRYAN O'HAYRE, \u003c\/b\u003e Ph.D., is Professor of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering at the Colorado School of Mines, where he directs the Advanced Energy Materials Laboratory, a developer of new materials and devices to enable alternative energy technologies including fuel cells and solar cells.
