Properties of Metal Silicides

Annotation Experts from Europe, the US, and China review the research to date in metal silicides, offering 42 individually commissioned reviews of numeric data on the silicides of both transition and rare earth metals and commentary on the latest research. Reviews are organized along the main categories of materials properties, with sections on structural and thermal properties; growth and phase transformations; thermochemical properties and phase diagrams; electronic properties; electrical transport; optical properties; diffusion; and hyperfine interactions.
