It does not sound to me like it is a very different scope of content.  It is expanded, yes, but still the same topic.  The subtitle of the new edition reflects the title or the original edition, suggesting it still covers the same topic.  It calls itself second edition.  I see no reason to consider this a new work.

Correct! My mistake was made by relating the current work “Spintronics handbook” to the [incorrectly identified] “Handbook of spintronics,” after seeing  the inclusion of the added entry “700 1   Xu, Y. B. ‡q (Yongbing). ‡t Handbook of spintronics” in the original bib record (OCLC#1073033094).

Thanks to Ted for finding the earliest manifestation of the work (2011; OCLC#751661288)! The original title is: “Handbook of spin transport and magnetism” (779 pages). The 2016 edition seems to have the same content and scope (808 pages; OCLC#991527871), and, indeed, is called “1^st ed.”

The current 2019 edition, however, is a 3-volume set (717, 599, 612 pages)—its scope of content has expanded and changed greatly.  In the preface, the 2 editors emphasize: “Since the first edition, there has been a significant evolution in material systems, displaying spin-dependent phenomena, making it difficult to cover even the key developments in a single volume” (vol. 1, p. xi).

Yes, following Mark’s advice, I re-consulted Dave Reser’s ppt presentation—a timely refresher! --and found particularly pertinent: Slide 11 under the title “New expression : title proper changes.”

Based on the statement of “Second edition” (take it literally), it would simply be a new expression. Per RDA 6.27.1.5, the preferred title “Handbook of spin transport and magnetism.” 

130 0    Handbook of spin transport and magnetism.

245 10  Spintronics handbook : ‡b spin transport and magnetism / ‡c edited by Evgeny Y. Tsymbal and Igor Žutić.

250       Second edition.

 

But Slide 3 (under the title “New work”) seems to be more fitting in our case, in my opinion, on the basis of “a title change” and, more importantly, “the new resource indicates a very different scope of content, coverage....” [as indicated in the 505 note of the current bib record:  volume 1. Metallic spintronics -- volume 2. Semiconductor spintronics -- volume 3. Nanoscale spintronics and applications).

 

So, Option A (new expression) or Option B (new work)?

 

Yang

 

 

 

 

 

Sorry, the crossing messages left me momentarily confused.  Ted Gemberling has identified the correct first edition name, which has the same creators.  Yang had been working under the belief the creators had changed, which would indeed indicate a new work.  I had also come across the edition Ted found, but somehow neglected to note that the 240 on the second edition was wrong.

Yes, I agree.  But these editions had the same creators.

When there is a change involving creators, it must really be seen as being a change in work. Creator is a relationship at the work level. If different editions have different creators or a different combination of creators, and you consider the editions to be expressions of the same work, then you end up relating agents to works that they really have nothing to do with.

Perhaps this is a situation for which the "work group" was invented? A work group appellation can tie together different editions that are technically different works.
