Functional oxides have a wide variety of applications in theelectronic industry. The discovery of new metal oxides withinteresting and useful properties continues to drive much researchin chemistry, physics, and materials science.In Functional Oxides five topical areas have beenselected to illustrate the importance of metal oxides in modernmaterials chemistry:* Noncentrosymmetric Inorganic Oxide Materials* Geometrically Frustrated Magnetic Materials* Lithium Ion Conduction in Oxides* Thermoelectric Oxides* Transition Metal Oxides - Magnetoresistance andHalf-MetallicityThe contents highlight structural chemistry, magnetic andelectronic properties, ionic conduction and other emerging areas ofimportance, such as thermoelectricity and spintronics.Functional Oxides covers these complex concepts in aclear and accessible manner providing an excellent introduction tothis broad subject area.
