This is a thoroughly revised version of the original book published in 1986. About half of the contents of the previous version remain essentially unchanged, and one quarter has been rewritten and updated. The rest consists of completely new and extended material. Recent research has focussed on new materials made through "molecular engineering", and computational materials science through ab initio electron structure calculations. Another trend is the ever growing interdisciplinary aspect of both basic and applied materials science. There is an obvious need for reviews that link well established results to the modern approaches. One purpose of this book is to provide such an overview in a specific field of materials science, namely thermophysical phenomena that are intimately connected with the lattice vibrations of solids. This includes, e.g., elastic properties and electrical and thermal transport. Furthermore, this book attempts to present the results in such a form that the reader can clearly see their domain of applicability, for instance if and how they depend on crystal structure, defects, applied pressure, crystal anisotropy etc. The level and presentation is such that the results can be immediately used in research. Graduate students in condensed matter physics, metallurgy, inorganic chemistry or geophysical materials will benefit from this book as will theoretical physicists and scientists in industrial research laboratories.

Touloukian, through more than 3500 journals and other docu began to develop a coordinated experimental, ments, often items not readily identifiable or ob tainable. Over 85,000 references are now in the theoretical, and literature review program covering a set of properties of great importance to science and files. technology. Over the years, this program has grown Thus, the man who wants to use existing data, rather than make new measurements himself, faces steadily, producing bibliographies, data compila a long and costly task if he wants to assure himself tions and recommendations, experimental measure ments, and other output. The series of volumes for that he has found all the relevant results. More often which these remarks constitute a foreword is one of than not, a search for data stops after one or two results are found-or after the searcher decides he these many important products. These volumes are a monumental accomplishment in themselves, re has spent enough time looking. Now with the quiring for their production the combined knowledge appearance of these volumes, the scientist or engineer and skills of dozens of dedicated specialists. The who needs these kinds of data can consider himself very fortunate.

The TPRC Data Series published in 13 volumes plus a Master Index volume constitutes a permanent and valuable contribution to science and technology. This 17,000 page Data Series should form a necessary acquisition to all scientific and technological libraries and laboratories. These volumes contain an enormous amount of data and information for thermophysical properties on more than 5,000 different materials of interest to researchers in government laboratories and the defense industrial establishment. Volume 3 in this 14 volume TPRC Data Series covers nonmetallic pure substances and mixtures which are in the fluid state at normal temperature and pressure, including 12 elements (plus two isotopes of hydrogen), 10 inorganic compounds, 33 organic compounds, 82 binary systems, 23 ternary systems, and eight systems with more than three components. For the elements, recommended thermal conductivity values are presented for solid, saturated liquid, saturated vapor, and gaseous states. For the other pure substances, recommended values are presented for saturated liquid and gaseous states for fluid mixtures, graphically smoothed values are given in addition to the original experimental data.

Volume 2 in this 14 volume TPRC Data Series covers nonmetallic materials which are in the solid state at normal temperature and pressure, including five elements (with over 100 varieties of graphite), 53 simple and complex oxides, 82 systems of oxide mixtures, 83 nonoxide compounds, seven systems of mixtures of oxides and nonoxides, 15 organic compounds, 22 kinds of cermets, 10 groups of systems, eight kinds of refractory materials, over 40 kinds of glasses, 24 minerals, 16 polymers, 26 animal and vegetable natural substances, 30 processed composites and processed natural and mineral substances, and 10 aggregate mixes, slags, scales, and residues. Data for the elements and for a few oxides ahve been critically evaluated, analyzed, and synthesized, and recommended values or provisional values are presented in addition to the original experimental data.
