Ågren J., Brechet Y., Hutchinson C., Philibert J., Purdy G. (Eds.) Thermodynamics and Phase Transformations: The Selected Works of Mats Hillert

EDP Sciences, France, 2006. – 521 p.For over half a century, Mats Hillert has contributed greatly to the science of materials. He is widely known and respected as an innovator and an educator, a scientist with an enormous breadth of interest and depth of insight. In acknowledgment of his many contributions, a conference was held in Stockholm in December 2004 to mark his eightieth birthday.
This volume was conceived prior to, and publicly announced during the conference. The difficult choice of twenty-four papers from a publication list of more than three hundred was carried out in consultation with Mats. He also suggested or approved the scientists who would be invited to write a brief introduction to each paper.
This volume represents a judicious sampling of Mats Hillert’s extensive body of work; it is necessarily incomplete, but it is hoped and expected that it will prove useful to students of materials science and engineering at all levels, and that it will inspire the further study and appreciation of his many contributions.
The editors are very grateful to Arcelor Research for their financial support and to EDPSciences who have lavished much care in the production of this volume.A short biography of Mats Hillert
