Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
This volume comprises a collection of papers presented at the 9th international conference on Global Research and Education, “INTER-ACADEMIA 2010”, held from August 9th to 12th, 2010 at the Riga Technical University, Riga, Latvia. It contains 88 contributions, including 4 invited papers, from more than 10 countries. The invited papers, presented by internationally recognized experts, review the state-of-the-art and future trends in each field of research. The peer-reviewed contributions are organized under the headings of: Physics and Technology, Chemistry, Biology and Medicine, and Computer Science and Modelling. This work thus offers a unique interdisciplinary view of the topics.

Doped Nanopowders

Edited by: Witold Łojkowski and John R. Blizzard, Urszula Narkiewicz and Janusz D. Fidelus

Online since: October 2007

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The production of nanopowders, and their applications in industrial and technological innovation, is an important and growing area of interest in the world of nanotechnology. It is widely recognized that the basic properties of nanopowders are strongly influenced by their shape, size, distribution and surface chemistry.

Silicon Carbide and Related Materials 2005

Edited by: Robert P. Devaty, David J. Larkin and Stephen E. Saddow

Online since: October 2006

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
Silicon Carbide (SiC), Gallium Nitride (GaN) and Diamond are examples of wide-bandgap semiconductors having chemical, electrical and optical properties which make them very attractive for the fabrication of high-power and high-frequency electronic devices, as well as light-emitters and sensors which have to operate under harsh conditions.

Defects and Diffusion in Ceramics - An Annual Retrospective VII

Edited by: Dr. David J. Fisher

Online since: September 2005

Description: This seventh volume in the series covering the latest results in the field includes abstracts of papers which appeared between the publication of Annual Retrospective VI (Volumes 226-228) and the end of July 2005 (journal availability permitting).

Defects in Insulating Materials

Edited by: G.E. Matthews and R.T. Williams

Online since: January 1997

Description: This book constitutes a comprehensive international forum on defect-related phenomena in wide-gap materials, crystalline or otherwise. Materials as diverse as SiO2, group-III nitride compounds, diamond, alkali halides, refractory oxides, and polymers are covered, and the "defects" considered include intrinsic point imperfections, dislocations, accidental impurities, intentional dopants, imperfect surfaces, nanocrystals in host matrices, and bonding defects in glasses.
Important unifying similarities of the phenomena are identified and investigative methods are presented which can be applied, almost across-the-board, to materials which share a wide transparency, deep traps, extensive stored energy in electron-hole pairs, and a low conduction-electron density.

Defects in Semiconductors 17

Edited by: Helmut Heinrich and Wolfgang Jantsch

Online since: October 1993

Description: This comprehensive issue presents 297 papers that cover a broad range of topics in the fundamental science of imperfections in semiconductor materials including the creation and/or origin, structure, electronic, optical, thermodynamical and chemical properties of defects, often also with strong relevance to technological problems in semiconductor devices.
