The Springer Handbook of Condensed Matter and Materials Data is a comprehensive reference book that combines introductory texts with selected data and functional relationships from solid-state physics and materials science. It is compiled by leading experts in the fields of physics and engineering, who select information from Springer sources and other approved publications. The handbook is designed as a desk reference for quick access to essential and reliable information, including tables, graphs, and bibliographies. It provides references to extensive data sources. The handbook is edited by Prof. Werner Martienssen and Prof. Hans Warlimont. It includes 1025 figures and 914 tables. The book is intended for students, scientists, engineers, and others interested in solid-state sciences and materials technologies. The editors have sought authors with expertise in their subject areas to provide concise accounts of descriptive text and representative data. The sections vary in character, reflecting the authors' individual approaches. The editors are grateful to the authors for their contributions and cooperation. The handbook is a result of a collaborative effort with support from Springer. Dr. Hubertus von Riedesel and Dr. Rainer Poerschke provided encouragement and assistance throughout the project. Dr. Werner Skolaut contributed to the technical editing of the manuscripts. The authors also thank their families for their support. The handbook includes various sections on general tables, elements, classes of materials, functional materials, and special structures. It covers topics such as fundamental constants, the international system of units, crystallography, metals, ceramics, polymers, glasses, semiconductors, superconductors, magnetic materials, dielectrics, ferroelectrics, liquid crystals, solid surfaces, and mesoscopic and nanostructured materials. The handbook is a valuable resource for researchers and professionals in the fields of physics and engineering.The Springer Handbook of Condensed Matter and Materials Data is a comprehensive reference book that combines introductory texts with selected data and functional relationships from solid-state physics and materials science.
