Introduction to Heterostructured Materials

By Xiaolei Wu and Yuntian Zhu

Introduction to Heterostructured Materials is a foundational book on a new, quickly developing materials field. Heterostructured materials not only possess superior mechanical and/or physical properties that are not accessible to their conventional homogeneous counterparts, but they are also conducive to large-scale industrial production at low cost.

This book begins with a look at the historical perspective of the development of these materials, which is followed by a review of the basic background on mechanical behaviors and properties of metals and alloys. Next, both the definition and the fundamental principles and deformation behavior of heterostructured materials are covered, as well as the processing and properties of heterostructured materials; and design principles of heterostructured materials.

The book is aimed to support graduate students and researchers entering this field, senior scientists who are already working in this field, engineers in the manufacturing industry, as well as professors who are teaching advanced materials and technologies.
