European Powder Diffraction EPDIC 7
X-ray powder diffraction is a non-destructive technique widely applied for the characterisation of crystalline materials. The method has been traditionally used for phase identification, quantitative analysis and the determination of structure imperfections. In recent years, applications have been extended to new areas, such as the determination of crystal structures and the extraction of three-dimensional microstructural properties. -
EMMA-2000
Magnetic Materials and Their Applications are among the hot topics of high-tech materials research. With special emphasis on technological applications, the present volume focuses on the following R&D areas: -
High Temperature Corrosion and Protection of Materials 5
The degradation of materials and coatings in aggressive environments continues to be of great relevance to a wide range of industrial applications. The topic is of vital economic concern to the transportation, energy generation, and chemical processing industries in the developing, as well as the developed, nations of the world. The dual thrusts of conservation of resources and protection of the environment here strongly influence the tone of the technical submissions and thus again reflect the world-wide concern. -
Mechanical Spectroscopy 2001
Mechanical spectroscopy is a non-destructive technique that is very well suited for studying the dynamics of singularities such as structural defects in solids. It has been successfully applied in solid state physics and materials science for more than fifty years, and the present textbook aims at summarising the state-of-the-art in this field by presenting recent results obtained in Western European laboratories. -
Positron Annihilation - ICPA-12
When it comes to studying the structures and defects of materials, there is presently no technique that is superior to positron annihilation. The increasing demands for higher accuracy and reliability provide a constant stimulus to the field, and the present book relates the newest and most important scientific discoveries made in the field of positron annihilation. -
Bioceramics 20
This volume of the Bioceramics series includes the papers selected for the 20th International Symposium on Ceramics in Medicine held in Nantes, France, from the 24th to the 26th of October, 2007. Some of the topics covered deal with advanced materials and technologies that support the exciting technique of the regeneration of osteoarticular tissues using minimal invasive surgery and bioactive prostheses. -
Superplasticity in Advanced Materials - ICSAM-2000
From once being of interest only to the aerospace and aeronautical ndustries, superplastic forming (SPF) has recently made inroads into the automotive, rail, architectural, sports, dental and entertainment sectors. However, due to a number of problematic technological issues ranging from die-material selection, die design, surface finish (e.g. alpha casing), differential thinning, temperature-pressure-time cycle determination and overall economy, the application of superplasticity has reached nowhere near its full potential. -
Silicon Carbide and Related Materials 2000
Wide bandgap semiconductors such as SiC, III-V nitrides and related compounds are currently attracting more and more attention due to their very interesting physical properties, which are different from those of conventional semiconductors. Steady improvement of the crystal quality and improved knowledge of the physical properties of these materials are leading to rapid developments in high-power, high-temperature, high-frequency electronics and blue light emitters. -
The Mechanical Behavior of Materials X
The objective of this collection was to gather together the latest information on the mechanical behavior of materials. The volumes cover the progress made in all aspects of the mechanical behavior of materials, seen from both the macroscopic and microscopic viewpoints. -
