Volume 39 of Reviews in Mineralogy and Geochemistry about Transformation Processes in Minerals summarises the current state of the art. The selection of transformation processes covered here is by no means comprehensive, but represents a coherent view of some of the most important processes which occur specifically in minerals.

Contents:Rigid unit modes in framework structuresStrain and elasticity at structural phase transitions in mineralsMesoscopic twin patterns in ferroelastic and co-elastic mineralsHigh-pressure structural phase transitionsOrder-disorder phase transitionsPhase transformations induced by solid solutionMagnetic transitions in mineralsNMR spectroscopy of phase transitions in mineralsInsights into phase transformations from Mössbauer spectroscopyHard mode spectroscopy of phase transitionsSynchrotron studies of phase transformationsRadiation-induced amorphization

This book presents a state-of-the-art summary and critical analysis of work recently performed in leading research laboratories around the world on the implementation of metal oxide nanomaterial research methodologies for the discovery and optimization of new sensor materials and sensing systems. The book provides a detailed description and analysis of (i) metal oxide nanomaterial sensing principles, (ii) advances in metal oxide nanomaterial synthesis/deposition methods, including colloidal, emulsification, and vapor processing techniques, (iii) analysis of techniques utilized for the development of low temperature metal oxide nanomaterial sensors, thus enabling a broader impact into sensor applications, (iv) advances, challenges and insights gained from the in situ/ex situ analysis of reaction mechanisms, and (v) technical development and integration challenges in the fabrication of sensing arrays and devices.
