Public interest and concern about radiation damage effects has increased during recent times. Nuclear radiation proved to be a precursor for the study of radiation damage effects in solids. In general, all types of radiation, e.g. X-ray, gamma ray, heavy ions, fission fragments and neutrons produce damage effects in materials. Radiation damage latent tracks in solids find applications in nuclear and elementary particle physics, chemistry, radiobiology, earth sciences, nuclear engineering, and a host of other areas such as nuclear safeguards, virus counting, ion track filters, uranium exploration and archaeology. Radiation dosimetry and reactor shielding also involve concepts based on radiation damage in solids. This special volume consists of ten Chapters, including Review and Research Papers on various topics in this field.
Collection of elected, peer reviewed papers from the 2013 International Conference on Solid State and Materials (ICSSM 2013), January 30-31, 2013, Los Angeles, CA, USA.
The papers are grouped as follows:
Chapter 1: Strength of Constructions, Solid State and Applied Mechanics Applications;
Chapter 2: Material Science and Engineering;
Chapter 3: Composites, Nanomaterials and Technology;
Chapter 4: Electrical Materials Properties;
Chapter 5: Manufacture Science and Engineering in Material.
The objective of this special collection is to provide a platform for the presentation of the latest progress achieved by materials scientists in divers fields: such as the latest techniques in materials synthesis, characterization and fabrication - plus the functionalities of materials and devices. The papers are grouped into: Nanomaterials and Nanostructures; Electrochemical Materials; Biology, Medical and Pharmaceutical Materials and Technology; Metals and Alloys; Electrical and Electronic Materials; Polymeric Materials and Composites; Devices (Including MEMS and NEMS); Catalytic Materials; Semiconducting and Superconducting Materials; Other Materials.
