Handbook on the Physics and Chemistry of Rare Earths [Hardcover]

This continuing authoritative series deals with the chemistry, materials science, physics and technology of the rare earth elements. Volume 38 of the Handbook on the Physics and Chemistry of Rare Earth incorporates a recapitulation of the scientific achievements and contributions made by the late Professor LeRoy Eyring (1919-2005) to the science of the lanthanide oxides in which the lanthanide element has a valence equal to or greater than three.

Subject IndexThe first chapter (236) in this volume of the Handbook on the Physics and Chemistry of Rare Earth is a recount of the scientific achievements and contributions made by the late Professor LeRoy Eyring (1919-2005) to the science of the higher lanthanide oxides, i.e. CeOx, PrOx and TbOx where x d 1.5. LeRoy had a broad range of interests in the chemistry of the rare earths and actinides but the main focus of his outstanding scientific career was concerned with the lanthanide higher oxides. Professor Eyring was a co-editor of the first 32 volumes of the Handbook.

The following four chapters describe rare earth compounds which have three or more chemical constituents: the metallic-like systems in Chapters 237 through 239; or anionic assemblies ?V the polyoxometalates in Chapter 240. Chapter 237 is a continuation of reviews on ternary rare earth ?V transition metal ?V nontransition elements (such asl��
