Silicon Carbide and Related Materials 2003

Edited by: Roland Madar, Jean Camassel and Elisabeth Blanquet

Online since: June 2004

Description: Because of their many superior properties, including a wide band-gap and high breakdown field, which are different to those of conventional semiconductors such as Si and GaAs, compounds such as SiC, III-Nitrides and related materials are currently attracting increasing attention and are being targeted as possible solutions in a variety of problematic fields of electronic application: including high temperature, high power, radiation-resistant and microwave use.

Gettering and Defect Engineering in Semiconductor Technology X

Edited by: H. Richter and M. Kittler

Online since: September 2003

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
This volume is a collection of papers presented at the 10th International Autumn Meeting on "Gettering and Defect Engineering in Semiconductor Technology - GADEST 2003," which took place from the 21st to the 26th of September 2003 at the Seehotel Zeuthen, in the state of Brandenburg, Germany. The Seehotel Zeuthen, near Berlin, was an excellent location at which to provide a forum for interactions between scientists and engineers engaged in the field of semiconductor defect physics, materials science and technology; and to reflect upon aspects of the coming era of conversion from micro-electronics to nano-electronics. In addition, a particular ambition was to strengthen the interactions and exchanges between communities working in the fields of crystalline silicon for electronics and photovoltaics.

Journal of Metastable and Nanocrystalline Materials: Fall e-volume 2003

Mechanical Spectroscopy II

Edited by: L.B. Magalas

Online since: February 2003

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
This book comprises the proceedings of the Second International School on Mechanical Spectroscopy; presented here as invited lectures (Part I) and contributed papers (Part II). After having originated merely as a technique for the study of internal friction, mechanical spectroscopy has developed strongly, during the past decade, into a tool which is now indispensable for making advances in the creation of new materials. This book will therefore provide an excellent reference source for every researcher working in the field.

Modeling of Materials

Edited by: C.-h. Chiu, Z. Chen, H. Gao, K.Y. Lam, A.A.O. Tay

Online since: August 2002

Description: This book contains the proceedings of Symposium L of the International Conference on Materials for Advanced Technologies, held from the 1st to the 6th of July , 2001 in Singapore. The aim of this important meeting was to bring together researchers and engineers having very different backgrounds, and thus promote free discussion and the exchange of ideas across many interdisciplinary boundaries.

Local Lattice Rotations and Disclinations in Microstructures of Distorted Crystalline Materials

Edited by: P. Klimanek, A.E. Romanov, B.M. Seefeldt

Online since: February 2002

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The last few years have witnessed a rapidly growing interest in the explanation and interpretation of the mesoscale microstructures which occur in distorted crystalline objects such as, for instance, conventional plastically deformed metals and alloys, as well as high-performance materials including ultra-fine grained polycrystals, nanocrystals and thin films.

Defect Interaction and Clustering in Semiconductors

Edited by: S. Pizzini

Online since: December 2001

Description: Modern semiconductor devices rely upon precise defect engineering. On the one hand: defects are the components needed to generate the electronic architecture of the device. On the other hand: they may – if not carefully controlled– induce failure of that device. During the past fifty years, the electrical and optical properties of defects, their generation, transport, clustering and reactions between them have been investigated intensively. Yet the development of semiconductor technology remains closely connected to the advances made in defect science and engineering. Compared to metals, defect control in silicon is significantly complicated by the open structure of its lattice. As a result, reactions between defects, even at room temperature, have become a central issue in defect engineering.
