Description: The simple, empirical, surprisingly accurate and venerable Arrhenius equation, based upon the work of Van't Hoff, is very useful for summarising large bodies of experimentally determined diffusion data for a given host/diffusant system. It is the first port of call for any researcher planning new diffusion studies, or for engineers who need to estimate heat-treatment times in manufacturing processes. The present compilation covers Arrhenius parameters for the host-metals: aluminum, barium, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, gallium, gold, hafnium, indium, iridium, iron, lead, lithium, magnesium, molybdenum, nickel, niobium, palladium, platinum, potassium, rhodium, ruthenium, scandium, silver, sodium, tantalum, thallium, thorium, tin, titanium, tungsten, vanadium, zinc and zirconium. The 1315 entries cover the period from 1927 to 2013.

Metastable and Nanostructured Materials

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The First Workshop on Metastable and Nanostructured Materials was held in the city of São Pedro (Brazil) in August 2001. These proceedings contain 22 revised papers which concentrate mainly on the topics of bulk metallic glasses and nanocrystalline materials prepared via the chemical synthesis, devitrification of mechanical alloying and compaction routes. However, other important contributions here deal with the spray deposition process and polymeric materials, as well as with the resultant magnetic, mechanical, electromagnetic, electrochemical, catalytic and optical properties of the product materials.
