- Book Synopsis
- Materials Kinetics: Transport and Rate Phenomena, Second Edition provides readers with a clear understanding of how physical-chemical principles are applied to fundamental kinetic processes. The book integrates advanced concepts with foundational knowledge and cutting-edge computational approaches, demonstrating how diffusion, morphological evolution, viscosity, relaxation, and other kinetic phenomena can be applied to practical materials design problems across all classes of materials. Thermodynamics, Fick's law, dislocation and interfacial motion, kinetics of phase separation, molecular dynamics, energy landscapes, and Monte Carlo simulation techniques are each covered. This second edition also features brand new chapters on sintering, topological constraint theory, ab initio molecular dynamics, thermal conduction, and electrical conduction. All preexisting chapters have been revised and updated to include new exercises, and topics covered have been expanded to include examples of multicomponent diffusion, particle jump frequency, diffusion along dislocations, modeling of grain boundary diffusion, applications of phase-field modeling, applications of diffuse interface theory, and much more.
- About The Author
- Dr. John C. Mauro is Professor and Associate Head for Graduate Education in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at The Pennsylvania State University. John earned a BS in Glass Engineering Science (2001), BA in Computer Science (2001), and PhD in Glass Science (2006), all from Alfred University. He joined Corning Incorporated in 1999 and served in multiple roles there, including Senior Research Manager of the Glass Research department. John holds more than 50 granted US patents and is the inventor or co-inventor of several new glasses for Corning, including Corning Gorilla® Glass products. John joined the faculty at Penn State in 2017 and is currently a world-recognized leader in fundamental and applied glass science, materials kinetics, computational and condensed matter physics, thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, and the topology of disordered networks. He is the author of over 280 peer-reviewed publications, Editor of the Journal of the American Ceramic Society, winner of numerous international awards, and a Fellow of the American Ceramic Society and the Society of Glass Technology. John is also co-author of Fundamentals of Inorganic Glasses, 3rd ed., Elsevier (2019).
