Description: This volume of the journal contains papers presented at the 21st International Conference on Solid Compounds of Transition Elements, SCTE 2018 which was held in the Technische Universität Wien, Austria, from March 25 to March 29, 2018. The conference was dedicated to fundamental and applied research regarding structure, crystal chemistry, chemical bonding, as well as with magnetic, thermodynamic, phononic and electronic properties of different classes of intermetallic compounds. Hydrides, borides, carbides, silicides and homologues, pnictides, chalcogenides, oxides and halides (especially those of low oxidation states exhibiting metal or semimetal properties) were in the focus of the conference also.

Description:

The Monte Carlo method, largely the brainchild of Stanislaw Ulam and first implemented by John von Neumann, depends upon the use of digital computers and is therefore very much a product of post-WW2 technological developments; even though one could argue that the Buffon’s Needle estimate was an ancestor of the technique. The probabilistic nature of the method makes it a good choice for modeling those physical phenomena which involve similarly random motions at the atomic scale; a particularly good example being that of mass diffusion. The present volume comprises a compilation of selected Monte Carlo studies of diffusion in borides, carbides, diamond, graphene, graphite, hydrides, ice, metals, oxides, semiconductors, sulfides, zeolites and other materials. General aspects of diffusion are also covered. The 516 entries cover the period from 1966 to 2014.

Abrasive technology is the most important aspect of precision technology. A total of 117 full-color papers are to be found in this book. Developments in precision turning, milling, and drilling, machining of difficult-to-cut materials, such as chromium-nickel alloys, titanium alloys, carbides and ceramics, and glass are addressed. In addition, special processes of precision technology, including polishing, lapping, jet-machining, magnetic finishing, micro and nano-machining, machine-tool design, silicon wafers and spinning, are presented. This work is a handy guide to the state of the art.

Description: This unusual book analyses the problems left in the field of solid state diffusion. The authors were encouraged to discuss the inconsistencies, the gaps in knowledge, in short, the unsolved problems. This is a much more difficult task than writing the "usual" review and the authors are to be congratulated on their efforts.
