From the Publisher

An up-to-date treatment of the electronic, vibrational, and optical properties of crystalline and amorphous non-metals containing defects. Considers phenomena such as non-stoichiometry, fast-ion conduction, nonradiative transitions and their consequences, radiation damage and radiation enhanced diffusion, and radiolysis and the photographic effect. Current areas of research covered include amorphous materials, surfaces, intercalates, and polymers. Illustrations and tables. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This review is from: Defects and Defect Processes in Nonmetallic Solids (Paperback)

It is a very interesting and useful book for students and teachers of this field of study (radiation physics and chemistry).
The text and the examples are clear.
