Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
Metastable, mechanically alloyed and nanocrystalline materials belong to a group of materials having very promising characteristics. In the present book,major new advances are reported in the field of bulk metallic glasses and bulk nanocrystalline materials; as prepared using devitrification or mechanical alloying and compaction. Other important issues include the understanding of processing kinetics leading to applications in various fields; in particular, the mechanical alloying of steels and the exploitation of the magnetic properties of mechanically alloyed materials.

Description: The purpose of this monograph is to provide a concise, up-to-date reference on these important biomaterials. Engineered materials play a critical role in modern biomedical applications, and crystalline ceramics (as well as the chemically-related, non-crystalline glasses) are finding increasingly wide uses.

Description: The objective of the present publication is to discuss various aspects relevant to the interface of ceramics from a number of standpoints that should as distinct as possible.

Description: This second volume on the topic Effects of Modes of Formation on the Structure of Glass encompasses many aspects of glass science from the perspective of the processes by which the glassy state is achieved. This perspective will make this volume useful to those with an interest in the glassy state of matter. There are some novel and intriguing new processes for achieving the glassy state reported here as well as reports on unusual glasses.

Description:

This edition is dedicated to researching non-crystalline materials starting from non-crystalline metals and alloys and finishing amorphous polymers, semiconductors, and various types of glasses. Readers will find here descriptions of methods to study non-crystalline materials, results of analysis of electrical and optical properties of amorphous semiconductors, and other detailed information about the structure and properties of non-crystalline matter.
