Description: This special collection covers: 1. the technology of semiconductor-on-insulator structures and devices; 2. the physics of new SOI devices; 3. SOI sensors and MEMS; 4. nanodots, nanowires and nanofilms. The first part covers a wide variety of SemOI-based structures such as ZnO-on-Insulators, a-SiC-on-Si oxide, graphite inner films fabricated by ion implantation, and others. The second part presents new devices based upon impact ionization near to the source junction, the modeling of charge transport in nano-scale SOI MOSFETs, the electrical properties of SOI MOSFETs with LaLuO3 high-k gate dielectric and the study of neutron effects upon the behavior of nanometer-scale SOI devices. The third part considers various types of SOI sensors and MEMS, together with their characteristics and applications. The fourth part describes the fabrication and properties of quantum-dimensional structures such as nanowires and nanodots. This book will therefore be useful to a wide readership.

This book comprises state-of-the–art reviews written by acknowledged experts who are active in sintering science.
It includes seven invited reviews by authors hailing from five countries: J-M.Chaix (France) discusses quantitative aspects of the microstructures and modeling of sintering; with the technical aspects of image-analysis - including that of nanostructured materials - adding extra value. Z.S. Nikolic (Serbia) provides a theoretical review of the simulation of liquid-phase sintering, particularly under microgravity conditions, and extensively and critically reviews the results reported in the sintering literature. A.L. Lisovsky (Ukraine) opens up the vista of deconsolidation of polycrystalline skeletons in sintered composite materials, and deals with systems having more than one refractory solid phase, and with nanodispersed composite materials. G.S. Upadhyaya ( India) reviews the Samsonov model for the electronic mechanism of sintering, and its relevance; pointing out that, although the model is a qualitative one, it has great utility as a predictive tool and that various case-studies drawn from real multi-phase material systems are a testimony to the value of Samsonov’s model.

No present-day research and development program is complete without the inclusion of a robust modeling and numerical simulation component. Models and model-based numerical simulations are extensively used to probe complex materials behavior and structure in order to obtain a deeper insight into the fundamentals of materials. Multi-physics models are becoming increasingly common, with advances in computational science, and are rapidly advancing the basic understanding of materials.

Description: Diffusion-controlled processes still remain the most important and interesting phenomena in materials science. Among the problems which are currently to the fore, are the synergy of diffusion and morphological evolution, the initial stages of solid-state reactions, the analysis of nano- materials and related phenomena, thermo- and electromigration, and the reliability of solder joints and interconnects in microelectronic devices. A number of challenging problems still remain within the “classical” areas of nucleation, reactive- and inter-diffusion, phase growth in multicomponent and binary systems, and decomposition and ripening.
