Handbook on the Physics and Chemistry of Rare Earths: Including Actinides, Volume 57, is a continuous series of books covering all aspects of rare earth science, including chemistry, life sciences, materials science and physics. The book's main emphasis is on rare earth elements [Sc, Y, and the lanthanides (La through Lu], but whenever relevant, information is also included on the closely related actinide elements.

• Presents up-to-date overviews and new developments in the field of rare earths, covering both their physics and chemistry
• Contains Individual chapters that are comprehensive and broad, along with critical reviews
• Provides contributions from highly experienced, invited experts

Researchers working on rare earth materials; scientists and engineers in the rare earth industry; university libraries, research institutes
