The present topical volume captures a representative cross-section of some of the recent advances in the area of mass transport. Reflecting the enormous breadth of the area, the range of topics covered is accordingly very large. Topics include diffusion in oxides, metals and alloys, membranes, microstructural changes and evolution, self, solute and interdiffusion, and diffusion in grain boundaries.

Description: The aim of this special collection of peer-reviewed papers is to present recent progress in crystal growth, in the characterization and control of material properties, as well as in other basic research issues concerning silicon carbide (SiC) and other wide-bandgap semiconductors such as group-III nitrides and diamond. The latest research results relevant to wafer production processes, device fabrication technologies and device applications are discussed. These included the latest results in the development and commercialization of advanced devices and circuits used for energy saving, high-voltage switching, high-frequency high-power amplification and high-temperature operation. Work on the growth, characterization and device exploitation of epitaxial graphene was also covered. Evolving industrial products and capabilities were also highlighted.

Description: These peer‐reviewed papers were selected from “Materials Science and Engineering Applications”, which provides a forum where researchers, engineers, academics and industrial professionals from all over the world can present their research results and development activities in materials science and engineering. It also provides opportunities for the delegates to exchange new ideas and experiences face-to-face, establish business or research contacts and find global partners for future collaboration. It also creates an atmosphere in which young talent has the opportunity to mix with professors and captains of industry. The proceedings provide an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies related to the load‐bearing capacity of materials as influenced by their basic properties, processing history, microstructure and operating environment.

Description: Physical and numerical simulations make it possible for materials science to go from experience-based to science-based, and from qualitative to quantitative understanding. Physical simulations, which effectively reveal the underlying principles of a material’s structure and property evolution, save significant amounts of time and money. Numerical simulations meanwhile permit descriptions and forms of material processes which are impossible to achieve experimentally. Both types of simulation are naturally gaining acceptance worldwide, and will become a prominent approach used in materials research in the 21st century. Young researchers will therefore benefit greatly from studying this volume.

Energy/environmental issues are of increasing importance these days, and improvement of the efficiency of energy conversion inevitably requires materials to be exposed to high temperatures and high pressures in aggressive environments. The present 80 peer-reviewed papers discuss the future prospects for solving materials issues involving elevated temperatures.

This volume is divided into 3 chapters. The first, focused on Materials and Elaboration Techniques, describes various types of material such as composites, polymers, semiconductors, metals, ceramics, bio-materials, inorganic alloys, textile, porous, crystalline, amorphous and hybrids elaborated by various means such as vapor-phase, liquid-phase, plasma, ion-based and laser-assisted techniques, soft chemistry, self- assembly, bonding, sintering, and including bulk, surface, interface, thin-film and nano-materials. The second chapter, on Characterization Techniques and Properties, covers both physical (optical, structural, electrical, mechanical, magnetic, damage, aging…) and chemical (surface and bulk composition, imaging, impurity, reactivity, catalysis, aging, oxidation, corrosion) aspects. The last chapter, Applications, focuses on subjects such as: (i) environment and energy (renewable energy, storage and energy conversion, transport), (ii) health, biomedical and life science, (iii) electronic devices and systems (micro-nano electronics, power electronics, photonics and optoelectronics, systems, storage and heat management) and (iv) cultural heritage (e.g. archeology).

The objective of this special volume is to disseminate information on current trends in the fields of explosion, shock wave and high-energy reaction phenomena and to establish a world-wide network so as to overcome the limitation, on related research fields, arising from the low number of active researchers.

Description: The main goal of these proceedings was to demonstrate the use of a variety of multi-scale approaches, ranging from the atomistic to the macroscopic, and in this it succeeds admirably. The special collection includes more than 130 peer-reviewed papers on atomistic, mesoscopic, macroscopic and multiscale approaches.
