Description: This tenth volume in the series covering the latest results in the field includes abstracts of papers which appeared between the publication of Annual Retrospective IX (Volume 265) and the end of May 2008 (journal availability permitting). As well as the 452 metals abstracts, the issue includes – in line with the new editorial policy of including original papers on all of the major material groups: “Defect Investigation of Plastically Deformed Al 5454 Wrought Alloy Using PADBS and Electrical Measurements” (Abdel-Rahman, Kamel, Lotfy, Badawi and Abdel-Rahman), “Activation Enthalpy of Dislocation Migration in Aircraft (Aerospace) (2024) Alloy by Positron Spectroscopy” (Abdel-Rahman, Abdallah, Hassan and Badawi), “Effect of Irradiation Dose on AlCu6.5 Alloy using Positron Annihilation Doppler Broadening Technique” (Abdel-Rahman, Lotfy, Abdel-Rahman and Badawi), “Dependence of Mono-Vacancy Formation Energy on the Parameter of Ashcroft's Potential” (Ghorai), “X-Ray Characterization of Ag Impurities in Na1-xAgxCl” (Hazeen, Syed Ali, Prema Rani and Saravanan), “Self-Organization Behavior of Sub-Micron CdO Grains Grown during Vapour-Solid Transition” (Zhang, Wang and Li), “Studies of the Local Structure and the Spin Hamiltonian Parameters for Co2+ in CaTiO3” (Lu, Wu, Zhang and Wei).

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
Multiferroic shape-memory alloys that exhibit both ferroelastic and ferromagnetic properties have recently attracted much attention. They belong to the family of so-called “smart materials” and are future-generation materials that are likely to be useful in cutting-edge technologies. Apart from the theoretical challenge of understanding their fascinating properties, the quest to harness them for practical use is also attracting many scientists and engineers from all over the world.

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.

Description: Condensed matter physics is an important field, not only for physicists, but also for other scientists and engineers. It encompasses all types of solid and liquid materials. Solid-state phenomena in metals, semiconductors, dielectrics, magnetic and optical materials in all their forms (crystalline, amorphous, nanocrystalline, polymer, liquid) are being intensely investigated. This is being done both for fundamental reasons, and because of the numerous actual and possible practical applications. Therefore, condensed matter physics is also the keystone of electrical, electronic and mechanical engineering, technology, and the development of its methods thus has a direct influence upon applied sciences.

Description: Journal issue

Description: It is now some 15 years since atomic clusters were first produced and investigated in laboratories. Since then, knowledge concerning clusters has enjoyed rapid and sustained growth, and cluster research has become a new branch of science.

Description: This publication focuses on the structural and chemical characterization of interfaces and their kinetic, mechanical and electrical properties. The size of the volume, consisting of almost 200 papers and over 900 pages, reflects the great current interest in the field.

Description: In 1994 we will mark the tenth anniversary of the discovery of quasicrystals, aperiodic crystals which lie outside the framework of traditional crystallography and which have disturbed the theory and practice of solid state physics, bringing in new perspectives. Already a substantial international community working on this topic has developed, with its own social structure, and it is time to assess the progress of the past decade and to consider future possibilities.

Description: The volume contains the proceedings of the Fourth Autumn School on Conducting Polymers, held September 1992 near Warswaw. The school focused on transport phenomena.

Description: The volumes present over 400 reviewed papers on the present state of the art and future prospects in the wide field of research involving positrons. The foreword by Edward Teller and the summaries by Jean-Charles Abbe (Chemistry) and Alfred Seeger (Physics) demonstrate how the field is seen from "outside" and from "inside".
