Publisher's Synopsis
This volume covers all aspects of nanocrytalline materials, and is intended to familiarize the materials community with this relatively new area of research. It includes both the methods for making such materials and the mechanical, optical, electronic, magnetic and thermal properties possessed by them.;Particular emphasis is placed on the discussion of properties which are unique to the nanometer-scale dimensions characteristic of the materials' morphology. The book is derived from a collection of papers from the 1992 TMS Annual Meeting, held in San Diego, California, March 1 to 5, 1992
