Woodward, Patrick M. Patrick M. Woodward is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Ohio State University. His research interests include materials discovery and the study of structure-property relationships in extended solids. He has served as chair of the Solid State Chemistry Gordon Conference (2018) and as Associate Editor of the Journal of Solid State Chemistry (2006-2011). Karen, Pavel Pavel Karen is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Oslo, where he teaches inorganic and solid-state chemistry with a focus on crystallography. He works experimentally with mixed-valence compounds, and studies their crystal structures by X-ray and neutron diffraction, local structures by Mössbauer spectroscopy (collaboration) and phase transitions by calorimetry. Evans, John S. O. John S. O. Evans is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Durham University, where he served as Head of Department from 2009 to 2014. His research interests are in structural materials chemistry and powder diffraction methods. His awards include the 1997 RSC Meldola medal and the 2015 RSC Teamwork in Innovation co-award for collaborative research with industry. Vogt, Thomas Thomas Vogt is a Professor and Educational Foundation Endowed Chair in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Director of the NanoCenter, and adjunct Professor of Philosophy at the University of South Carolina. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Neutron Scattering Society of America.

'This book will be invaluable to students, educators, and researchers studying inorganic materials chemistry. The breadth is impressive, with the fundamentals of the subject covered well, and followed by chapters that highlight optical, electronic, magnetic, porous, energy, and other applications of functional materials. Graduate-level problems on each topic support the educational aspects, and up-to-date case studies throughout make this an extremely useful resource for professional materials researchers.' Paul Attfield, University of Edinburgh
