Learning outcomes
Good knowledge of physics of metals as the basic prerequisite for understanding and design of technical materials. Subjects presents a definitive account of a major field of modern physics and will be of value to both experimental and theoretical solid state physicists and metallurgists seeking a clear explanation of the physical phenomena occurring in metals Internal structure of metals and alloys 1.
