Handbook on the Physics and Chemistry of Rare Earths

Handbook on the Physics and Chemistry of Rare Earths: Including Actinides, Volume 56, is a continuous series of books covering all aspects of rare earth science, including chemistry, life sciences, materials science and physics. The book's main emphasis is on rare earth elements [Sc, Y, and the lanthanides (La through Lu], but whenever relevant, information is also included on the closely related actinide elements. Individual chapters in this release include Lanthanide Molecules for Spin-based Quantum Technologies, Modeling Intramolecular Energy Transfer in Lanthanide Chelates: A Critical Review and Recent Advances, and Superconducting Uranium-Based Materials.

• Presents up-to-date overviews and new developments in the field of rare earths, covering both their physics and chemistry
• Contains Individual chapters that are comprehensive and broad, along with critical reviews
• Provides contributions from highly experienced, invited experts

"Many references are presented which have to be used if you are new to this area of research since the authors assume an advanced reader. Materials scientists working in any of these areas might be interested in this book. It presents highly theoretical work and requires a strong background in the topics being presented for some current topics in solid-state physics. " --IEEE
