Defects and Defect Processes in Nonmetallic Solids Hailed by the Bulletin ofAcclaimed 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. 191 figures. 43 tables. 1985 edition. Unabridged republication of the edition published by John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1985.
