Defects and Defect Processes in Nonmetallic Solids

Acclaimed by Nature as "an ideal text," this extensive survey provides coverage of defects in nonmetals, emphasizing point defects and point-defect processes. It encompasses electronic, vibrational, and optical properties of defective solids and discusses extended defects such as dislocations and grain boundaries.
