Surfaces & Interfaces

• Grain Boundary Diffusion and Grain Boundary Segregation
  The phenomena of grain boundary diffusion and grain boundary segregation play major roles in determining the properties and behavior of a wide variety of materials. Even though the basic principles have been known for a long time, the field continues to yield a number of very challenging questions.
• Reactive Phase Formation at Interfaces and Diffusion Processes
  In a majority of cases, the various processes which give rise to matter transport lead to the formation of new interfaces and to the concommitant development of new phases on either side of these newly created interfaces. The latter play a particularly important role, in the sense that the reactions that produce the new phases take place there.
• Surface Layers - Structure-Property Relations
  Improvement of only the properties of the surface can largely improve the performance of the entire workpiece. Hence, engineering the surface by the application of surface layers has become of major importance.
• Solidification Processing of Reinforced Metals
  Much of the success of composites can be attributed to the development of innovative processes. Many useful composites are envisaged by materials scientists but the problem of how to make them is often the greater hurdle.
• Intergranular and Interphase Boundaries in Materials
  The review and research papers presented in this volume may be subdivided into three aims:
• Interfaces of Ceramic Materials
  The objective of the present publication is to discuss various aspects relevant to the interface of ceramics from a number of standpoints that should as distinct as possible.
• PIM & ASIP 2004
  This collection presents, and analyses, the new ideas in the emerging technologies involved in the production and use of particle beams and plasmas.
• Ultra Clean Processing of Silicon Surfaces VII
  This book is sub-divided into 10 different topical sections; each dealing with important issues in surface cleaning and preparation.
• ASM Heat Treatment and Surface Engineering Conference I
  The book reports on new scientific and technological developments involving:
• Grain Growth in Polycrystalline Materials I
  The volumes present investigations on grain growth phenomena and their observation in various materials: metals and alloys, ceramics, sintered materials, thin films, etc.; normal and abnormal grain growth including twinning, texture, particle and other drag effects as well as analysis of topological aspects and grain size and grain orientation correlations; grain boundary structure, mobility and interaction with particles and impurity atoms. Experimental methods applicable to measurements of grain size, orientation of individual grains, etc.
