| Popis: | Charles Barrett's work in phase transformation at the atomic level helped redefine the underpinnings of the science and practice of metallurgy. His work in low temperature physical chemistry has extended its range. And, perhaps more than anyone else, as a teacher and author, he has helped introduce the technique of X-ray diffraction to the present generations of practicing metallurgists.The relevance of his contributions is demonstrated by the continuing utility of his widely translated metallurgical text, Structure of Metals, which, when it first appeared, made the understanding of metallurgy at the atomic level accessible to a wide audience. Today this book has become a compendium of first principles. |
