Description: This special edition is intended for researchers and professionals in materials science, chemical engineering, nanotechnology, etc. By providing foundational concepts and current research directions, it aims to support the development of next-generation materials that meet performance and sustainability goals.

Description: These papers were selected from materials of the Asia-Pacific Conference on Silicon Carbide and Related Materials (APCSCRM 2019), July 17-20, 2019, Beijing, China. The collection introduces results of scientific and engineering researches in the area of growth, analysis of structure, and properties of wide bandgap semiconductors and of wide bandgap semiconductor devices.

Description: In the field of engineering, the ability of a finished part to fulfil its function in the intended application is closely related to properties of materials for its production. The development of new high-technology structural materials, adapted to each new application, requires knowledge of base matter properties, the regularity of changes in its microstructure and properties during processing. This volume contains results of research of the microstructures of materials, methods by which the latter are worked, the effect of interactions at the interfaces for multi-materials and how structure determines their final properties.

Description: The wide practical use of the diffusion barrier phenomenon in the various areas of science and modern engineering is impossible without the studying of all aspects of their creation, functioning and degradation. The present monograph covers a specific and important aspect of the diffusion barriers damaging process - the deleterious effect of atomic-scale defects in the structure of diffusion barriers.

Description: Surface coatings are an important approach to changing surface properties for the requirements of a given application. Major areas of application include sensors, energy saving coatings for solar devices, absorbers/reflectors/emitters, cutting and forming tools, protective environment-resistant or decorative coatings, and information storage and micro-electronic devices. Surface coatings modified by ion or laser treatment will also be of great importance to the future of industrial technology.

Description: State-of-the-art reviews on all the major areas of interest are brought together in this book, namely the role of hydrogen during epitaxial growth, its entry into the material during processing, its subsequent diffusivity and bonding with dopants, other impurities or defects, its effect on device performance and reliability and positive uses for hydrogen in passivating surfaces.
