Description: 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.

Diffusion in Silicon - 10 Years of Research

Edited by: Dr. David J. Fisher

Online since: November 1997

Description: This volume presents a thorough treatment of the subject, covering a full decade of progress in the understanding of Diffusion in Silicon.

Semiconductor Materials and Technology (ICSMT)

Edited by: R.M. Mehra and P.C. Mathur

Online since: August 1997

Description: The subject area of electronic devices has undergone a rapid expansion in recent years. New developments are continually accurring all over the world. Progress in the field of electronic devices is, however, dependent upon the production and characterization of device grade material. The science and technology of electronic materials has attracted somewhat less attention, as compared with device development.

Diffusion in Materials DIMAT 1996

Edited by: Helmut Mehrer, Christian Herzig, N.A. Stolwijk and Hartmut Bracht

Online since: January 1997

Description: These proceedings comprise the papers presented at the international conference on 'Diffusion in Materials (DIMAT-96)' held at Schloss Nordkirchen, Germany, August 1996 - the largest international diffusion conference so far held.
The two-volume set therefore covers a very broad spectrum of topics. From the materials point of view, metals, alloys, intermetallics, elemental and compound semiconductors, amorphous materials, nonmetals such as fast ionic conductors, oxides, nitrides, polymers and even melts were discussed.

Disordered Materials

Edited by: D.K. Chaturvedi and G.E. Murch

Online since: July 1996

Description: The physics of ordered materials is much better understood than that of disordered materials. The lack of a long-range periodic structure makes it difficult to develop the theory of disordered phases. It is not surprising that it is often found difficult to interpret experimental data on these systems.

Band Tailings and Deep Defects in Semiconductors

Edited by: A.A. Teate and N.C. Halder

Online since: May 1996

Description: The present textbook treats the effects of temperature upon weakly disordered hydrogenated amorphous silicon and hydrogenated amorphous germanium, as well as the effect of weak disorder upon more complex systems such as GaAs and Al2Gal-xAs alloy. The effects of disorder-induced band tailing upon deep levels in compound semiconductor alloys are also studied.

Plasticity of Metals and Alloys

Edited by: Pavel Lukac

Online since: January 1995

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
Confirming the fact that the various phenomena related to plasticity of metals and alloys continue to constitute a highly active field of research where many interesting developments are currently taking place, this volume presents 63 articles by well-known experts, on the topics of current interest.

Low-Carbon High Strength Ferrous Alloys

Edited by: O.N. Mohanty et al.

Online since: January 1993

Description: High strength steels are of eminent importance in a variety of high tech applications. The present volume presents the state-of-the-art of this large research area.

Ionic Diffusion in Oxide Glasses

Authors: G. H. Frischat

Online since: January 1985

Description: This monograph presents a comprehensive and critical review of the 1074 published work on self-diffusion and chemical diffusion in oxide glasses. Where possible, the results on glasses are compared with those of the corresponding crystalline phases. Other ionic transport processes were also described, like electrical conductivity, dielectric relaxation, or internal friction.
