Description
The heterogeneity of a solid must be taken into account if the property under consideration is determined not only by the atomic short-range order but also by the spatial extent of regions with equal short-range order, the shape of these regions, the interface area between different regions, the correlation of shape and size of adjacent regions, the topological arrangement, etc. Such phenomena appear in most materials, e.g. in polycrystalline metals and alloys, powders, ceramics, porous materials, glasses and random composites. Therefore, one must look for stochastic models which are appropriate to describe those structures. The models should be mathematically well-defined, and it should be possible to calculate characteristic quantities which correspond to experimentally accessible structure parameters.In the present book stochastic models are considered which seem to be most useful for the investigation of stochastic systems within the framework of solid state physics and materials research.
