Inorganic Materials Synthesis and Fabrication

---

With our Þrst textbook, Principles of Inorganic Materials Design, we set out
to fulÞll our stated goal of preparing a single-source presentation of inorganic
materials design. Accordingly, the primary emphasis was on structure–property
correlation. A comprehensive treatment of the broader general topic of inorganic
materials science necessitates that we discuss chemical, synthetic, and fabrication
processes, topics we now take up in detail.
Customarily, chemists have been interested in the submicroscopic length scale,
studying the compositions and structures of solids, their relationships to prop-
erties, and processes that bring about changes in those entities. The physicists
who deal with condensed matter have had similar goals working at the electronic
length scale, where they have been concerned primarily with describing various
physical properties quantitatively. The focus of materials scientists and engineers,
on the other hand, has evolved from studying microstructural features and pro-
cesses to a state in which they now also draw on the body of knowledge acquired
by chemists and physicists in order to design improved materials for utilization
in speciÞc engineering applications. Today, the artiÞcial demarcation between
the various disciplines is beginning to vanish. Becoming consistently common
objectives are synthesis and fabrication, which inherently require consideration
of details spanning multiple length scales.
To serve the need to educate science and engineering students in this area,
in this book we take an interdisciplinary approach, as we did in our Þrst book,
but with the focus shifted to describing how chemical reactions proceed between
single-phase inorganic solids (molecular and nonmolecular) and other substances
that result in the transformation of the solid, to a new single phase with composi-
tion differing from that of the original material. Such reactions are conveniently
categorized here as being of the solid–vapor, solid–liquid, or solid–solid type.
In general, synthetic schemes may be thought of as bottom-up processes where
the chemical transformation occurs at the interface between the reacting phases.
This book is about the preparation of single-phase inorganic materials. The
design concerns and associated process ßows for multiphase/heterostructure
devices (e.g., composite materials, semiconductor integrated circuits) are bet-
ter covered in specialized engineering texts and so are omitted here. However,
we cover top-down materials fabrication processes, such as plastic deformation
and consolidation processing in some detail, topics that have traditionally been
restricted to materials science and engineering courses. As with our Þrst text-
book, this book takes on a distinct historical tone and includes short biographical
sketches of some of the people who have made seminal contributions to the Þeld
over the past century. We believe that students appreciate learning about their
heritage, and the history of science is, after all, a worthy scholarly endeavor in
and of itself.
To maximize the level of expertise applied to this endeavor, invitations were
extended to two additional authors, Professor E. E. Carpenter and Dr. N. F. Dean,
both of whom enthusiastically agreed to participate, and we are very grateful for
their contributions. The four of us believe that this book would make an excel-
lent companion to Principles of Inorganic Materials Design, together serving not
only as strong introductory texts to materials science and engineering, chemistry,
and physics students, but also as welcomed reference sources for working pro-
fessionals. Some of the topics covered in our Þrst book actually Þt equally well
here, being, in fact, essential components to discussions on the interplay between
chemical structure, reaction energetics, and kinetics.
