Fluid Metals : The Liquid-Vapor Transition of Metals

Mostrar otras versiones (2)

This is a long-needed general introduction to the physics and chemistry of the liquid-vapor phase transition of metals. Physicists and physical chemists have made great strides understanding the basic principles involved, and engineers have discovered a wide variety of new uses for fluid metals. Yet...
