Autorenporträt

Pamela Champness graduated from Cambridge University in Natural Sciences (Mineralogy) in 1964 and was awarded a PhD in Mineralogy from Cambridge in 1969. She has recently retired as Reader in Crystallography at the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Manchester and is now an Honorary Research Fellow. Her main research interests are in the applications of transmission electron microscopy to phase transformations in minerals

Rezensionen

'Dr Champness has mangaged to include a host of excellent features not readily found in other texts...perhaps the strongest feature of the book is that the plentiful examples are taken from materials with a wide range of crystal structures. Make sure it is available in your EM laboratory.' - Journal of Microscopy

'This book contains rich application examples from a specialist and should be a very useful introductory text to graduate students as well as a handy reference book for research specialists.' - Microscopy and Analysis

'Dr Champness has managed to include some quite specialized topics...a nice characteristic is the inclusion of features and topics not easily founded in other texts. The book is carefully written reflecting the experience of many years of teaching experience...I anticipate that this book will be a useful addition to many bookshelves'. - Micron 34
