Reihe: Inorganic Materials Series

This volume examines important experimental techniques needed tocharacterise inorganic materials in order to elucidate theirproperties for practical application. Addressing methods thatexamine the structures and properties of materials over lengthscales ranging from local atomic order to long-range order on themeso- and macro-scopic scales, Multi Length-ScaleCharacterisation contains five detailed chapters:

* Measurement of Bulk Magnetic Properties

* Thermal Methods

* Atomic Force Microscopy

* Gas Sorption in the Analysis of Nanoporous Solids

* Dynamic Light Scattering

Ideal as a complementary reference work to other volumes in theseries (Local Structural Characterisation and Structurefrom Diffraction Methods) or as an examination of the specificcharacterisation techniques in their own right, MultiLength-Scale Characterisation is a valuable addition to theInorganic Materials Series.
