Modern Aspects of Solid State Chemistry

The book highlights the significance of Structure, Dynamics, and Synthesis in solid state chemistry, an emerging and interdisciplinary field. It emphasizes the need for formal education in this area, despite the presence of practicing chemists. A Winter School at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, aimed to promote solid state chemistry and develop educational resources. The diverse backgrounds of participants underscore the field's broad relevance, and the author hopes to share the insights and materials from the Winter School with a wider audience interested in solid state research.
