Bridges the gap between the physical and chemical approaches of the rapidly developing field of solid state kinetics, using quantitative language practitioners of both approaches can understand. Topics go beyond simple diffusion process; homogeneous and heterogeneous solid- state reactions, phase transitions, and the influence of external fields are also treated in detail as are charge transport mechanisms in ionic conductors, principles of sensor technology, and corrosion of metals.
