A handbook of data on the elastic properties of single crystals collected from the literature through mid-1970.

Data on the elastic properties of single crystals have been collected from the literature published through mid-1964. The elastic properties of isotropic aggregates (Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, shear modulus, bulk modulus, compressibility, velocity of shear waves, and the velocity of compressional waves) are calculated according to the schemes of Voigt and Reuss. The tables include about 1100 determinations. (Author).

In the past ten years, heteroepitaxy has continued to increase in importance with the explosive growth of the electronics industry and the development of a myriad of heteroepitaxial devices for solid state lighting, green energy, displays, communications, and digital computing. Our ever-growing understanding of the basic physics and chemistry underlying heteroepitaxy, especially lattice relaxation and dislocation dynamic, has enabled an ever-increasing emphasis on metamorphic devices. To reflect this focus, two all-new chapters have been included in this new edition. One chapter addresses metamorphic buffer layers, and the other covers metamorphic devices. The remaining seven chapters have been revised extensively with new material on crystal symmetry and relationships, III-nitride materials, lattice relaxation physics and models, in-situ characterization, and reciprocal space maps.

This three-volume handbook provides reliable, comprehensive data on the properties of rocks, minerals, and other related materials. The format is largely tabular and graphical, designed for ease of use in comparisons and referencing. The chapters are contributed by recognized experts from leading university, industrial, and governmental scientific establishments.
