Materials Science Forum

Description: The power of powder diffraction - the diffraction analysis of polycrystalline specimens - is shown again convincingly in these Proceedings of the Second European Powder Diffraction Conference EPDIC 2.

Description: This collection of papers describes the synthesis, properties, characteristics and applications of the recently discovered high-temperature superconductors. Results of research activities around the world are presented.

Description: This two-volume set contains 153 papers which constitute the Proceedings of the International Conference on Diffusion in Materials, held in Kyoto, Japan. 174 scientists from 55 countries registered for this conference.

Description: The review and research papers presented in this volume may be subdivided into three aims:
(i) the investigation and modelling of interfacial structure (ii) efforts to correlate structure/property relationships and (iii) phenomenological descriptions of particular interfacial properties The conference focussed on four objectives: 1.Grain Boundaries Structure and Properties 2.Dynamical and Mechanical Properties 3.Heterophase Interfaces 4.Electrical Properties and Superconductors.

Description: The volume contains 70 papers presented as invited general lectures and research contributions at the 7th international symposium on Continuum Models of Discrete Systems.
The purpose of the interdisciplinary CMDS-symposia is to bring together scientists working on continuum theories of discrete mechanical and thermodynamical systems in the realm of physics, mathematics, theoretical and applied mechanics, material science, and engineering, and to join divergent languages, questions and methods developed in the respective disciplines.

Description: The volume contains the proceedings of the Fourth Autumn School on Conducting Polymers, held September 1992 near Warswaw. The school focused on transport phenomena.

Description: The volume presents the proceedings of the 6th European Conference, as well as the International Symposia on High Temperature Superconductors and on Mechanical Spectroscopy.

Description: The volume presents the proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Shallow Impurities in Semiconductors, held in Kobe, Japan, August 1992.

Description: All physical properties of electronic ceramics are strongly influenced by microstructure induced disorder. The aim of the present book is to present examples of how defect engineering procedures can be used to solve some crucial issues in ceramic science.

Description: The book emphasizes the importance of recrystallization and related processes in the development of advanced materials, such as metal-matrix composites, intermetallic and ceramic materials, and thin films. The volume focusses on the control of the microstructure during thermomechanical processing.
