Infos

More than 80 elements of the Periodic Table are metals showing a broad range of structures, bonding peculiarities and physical properties.
Thus, alloys and intermetallic compounds play an important role for modern functional and construction materials. Due to the enormous variety of intermetallics the authors introduce to the broad field on the level of final Master studies and focus on the basic materials.

Prof. Dr. Rainer Pöttgen, University of Münster, Germany; Prof. Dr. Dirk Johrendt, Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich, Germany.
