Title Competing Interactions and Microstructures: Statics and Dynamics : Proceedings of the CMS Workshop, Los Alamos, New Mexico, May 5???8, 1987 Author(s) LeSar, Richard;Bishop, Alan;Heffner, Robert Publication Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 1988. Description VIII, 275 p : online resource Abstract Note Many macroscopic properties of materials are determined primarily by inhomogeneous structures and textures. These intermediate-scale structures often arise from competing interactions operating on different length scales within the material. Our understanding of such phenomena has increased substantially with the identification and theoretical description of solid-state materials with incommensurate and long-period modulated phases, such as ferroelectrics, charge-density-wave compounds, epitaxial layers and polytypes. Experimental diagnosis of inhomogeneous ground states and metastable phases has advanced so far that these are now well-accepted phenomena. These proceedings bring together the work of physicists and materials scientists to review developments in this area and to examine possible future directions, such as how the microscopic understanding emerging in bench-top solid-state systems can be applied in materials science ISBN,Price 9783642734984 Keyword(s) 1.
