Systems with Fast Ionic Transport - III
Solid ionic conductors have a wide range of applications and new research results are becoming available at an ever increasing rate. The book discusses and reviews our present knowledge in some critical areas. Some of the important papers are given below: Some Highlights: -
Atomic Migration and Defects in Materials
The book covers various aspects of of diffusion: its fundamental nature, methodology of experimental and analytical techniques, and implications in modern technology. -
Hydrogen Metal Systems II
Understanding the behaviour of hydrogen in metals is one of the most pressing research tasks in the physical sciences. The embrittling effect of hydrogen in mild steel was recognised from the very beginnings of the Industrial Revolution, and its effects still plague modern alloys during either fabrication or use. At the same time, the tendency of certain alloys to form stable hydrides in a reversible manner holds out the promise of the safe storage of hydrogen in vehicles and therefore the prospect of non-polluting transport and a true 'hydrogen economy'. Researchers in this field will therefore welcome the publication of this 2-volume set, "Hydrogen Metal Systems I & II", which presents comprehensive information and critical data concerning ionic and metallic hydrides; all conveniently based upon a periodic-table layout. -
Diffusion and Reactions
This book covers the principal topics of basic and applied research on diffusion-controlled transport phenomena in metals, ceramics and other systems. Particular attention is paid to diffusional mass transport, reactive diffusion, interdiffusion and phase transformations. Further attention is paid to the practical aspects of applying a deeper understanding of diffusion and reaction mechanisms to the development of materials with improved service properties. -
Special Defects in Semiconducting Materials
With the continuing evolution of fabrication techniques and new structures for semiconducting materials, the list of new defect phenomena has also increased apace. The present book discusses point defects, defect-assisted diffusion, metal impurity additions, metastable defects, magnetic hyperfine interaction of deep donors in compound semiconductors, and oxygen and hydrogen impurity defects. -
Diffusion in Metals and Alloys
Following the successful conference of 1982, DIMETA 88 brought together 170 scientists from 20 countries to discuss and review recent advances in the field. -
Beam Injection Assessment of Defects in Semiconductors
The 5th International Workshop on Beam Injection Assessment of Defects in Semiconductors (BIADS 98) focussed on many theoretical and experimental aspects of this topic. The aim was to bring together specialists working in the fields of both fundamental research and applications. There were more than 80 participants from 15 countries all over the world. -

Kinetics and Applications of Atomic Diffusion in Solids
This book presents the central ideas in the nanoscopic electron-affected stochastic dynamics of atomic diffusion in solids. Great care has been taken to develop the basic concepts, as well as to make the reader familiar with the application of the theory to various materials and experimental situations. -
Hydrogen Metal Systems I
This Handbook/Databook contains hundreds of completely updated figures and tables. The authors are among the most prominent in the field - and each is a specialist in the subject matter of his peer reviewed contribution.
