Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
In this collection of peer-reviewed papers are to be found original ideas and new points of view on aspects of materials engineering, architectural engineering and informatization. Herein, researchers exchange innovative ideas from new perspectives; thus providing guidance to scientists, physicists, chemists, teachers and others worldwide.

Description: This collection consists of new research results in advanced mechanical engineering. It brings together industrial and academic researchers, developers, and users from around the world in the form of their shared state-of-the-art results: exploring new areas of research and development, and discussing the emerging issues facing environmental materials and management. An invaluable guide to the topic.
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).

Description: The purpose of this special volume was to provide young scientists from Asian countries with the opportunity of exchanging information on scientific research. It covers recent progress, achievements and innovations made in the field of advanced materials research and technology for a sustainable future world; especially in India, Japan and other Asian countries. The selected papers include experimental studies of structure, electrical and magnetic properties, thermodynamic and electrochemical properties, absorption, luminescence, permeability and self-assembly in systems involving steel and aluminum alloys, nanoparticles, nanowires, nanoplates, multilayers, thin films, membranes and multifunctional materials.

Description: This two-volume set contains the Proceedings of the 1st International Women's Conference on BIEN-Technology, held at Paichai University in Daejeon, Korea, on November 13th - 16th, 2003.
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
This conference provided female scientists with the opportunity to exchange their multidisciplinary expertise and research experience, to enhance interpersonal net-working, and to create a synergetic convergence of various emerging technologies such as Bio, Information, Environmental, Energy, Space and Nano technologies.

Description: This is the second issue, following DDF165-166, to cover recent progress in this field. As usual, priority in abstracting has been given to the most accessible work and, in particular, to those papers which furnish original data or report important new techniques, phenomena or anomalies, although there is also extensive overage of more qualitative features of diffusion and defect phenomena, of the predictions of computer models, and of theoretical studies.

Description: Ceramics were arguably the first materials ever synthesized by Man, and they continue to be an invaluable and ever-developing resource. One newly expanding field, for instance, is that of the semiconducting ceramic and its unique high-temperature electronic properties; as reported by the sister-publication to the present one: Defects and Diffusion in Semiconductors - an Annual Retrospective (DDF162-163).

The present volume covers ceramics in general, and succinctly summarises recent progress made in the field. This book series is a spin-off and continuation of the 30-year long efforts of the journal, Diffusion and Defect Forum, in keeping the busy researcher up-to-date with the latest data and theoretical trends. A similar issue will appear each year and thereby ensure the continuous monitoring of recent progress; the present volume details those papers published during the approximate period from June 1997 to August 1998. The usually accepted definition of 'ceramic' has been widened slightly herein so as to include, as well as carbides, allotropic forms of carbon and new materials such as fullerenes. In general, priority of coverage is given to the most accessible work and, in particular, to those papers which furnish original data or report important new techniques, phenomena or anomalies. Lower priority has been given to reviews and to entirely theoretical work.

Description: The field of crystal growth has developed steadily with the rapid progress in microelectronics. The purpose of this book is to present a survey of the most recent results related to this subject area. The book will serve as both an up-to-date review for experts and as a reference work on crystal growth for younger scientists and for those who wish to keep track of the advances and technological trends in the field.

Description: State-of-the-art reviews on all the major areas of interest are brought together in this book, namely the role of hydrogen during epitaxial growth, its entry into the material during processing, its subsequent diffusivity and bonding with dopants, other impurities or defects, its effect on device performance and reliability and positive uses for hydrogen in passivating surfaces.
