Description: This volume of the journal contains papers presented at the 21st International Conference on Solid Compounds of Transition Elements, SCTE 2018 which was held in the Technische Universität Wien, Austria, from March 25 to March 29, 2018. The conference was dedicated to fundamental and applied research regarding structure, crystal chemistry, chemical bonding, as well as with magnetic, thermodynamic, phononic and electronic properties of different classes of intermetallic compounds. Hydrides, borides, carbides, silicides and homologues, pnictides, chalcogenides, oxides and halides (especially those of low oxidation states exhibiting metal or semimetal properties) were in the focus of the conference also.

Description:

The Monte Carlo method, largely the brainchild of Stanislaw Ulam and first implemented by John von Neumann, depends upon the use of digital computers and is therefore very much a product of post-WW2 technological developments; even though one could argue that the Buffon’s Needle estimate was an ancestor of the technique. The probabilistic nature of the method makes it a good choice for modeling those physical phenomena which involve similarly random motions at the atomic scale; a particularly good example being that of mass diffusion. The present volume comprises a compilation of selected Monte Carlo studies of diffusion in borides, carbides, diamond, graphene, graphite, hydrides, ice, metals, oxides, semiconductors, sulfides, zeolites and other materials. General aspects of diffusion are also covered. The 516 entries cover the period from 1966 to 2014.

Description: The 26 peer-reviewed papers collected here together offer a plenitude of up-to-date information on “Materials Challenges for Future Nuclear Fission and Fusion Technologies”. The papers are conveniently arranged into MATERIALS CHALLENGES FOR FUTURE NUCLEAR FISSION AND FUSION TECHNOLOGIES, Low Activation Structural Materials for Nuclear Fusion Systems, Functional, Cladding and Fuel Materials for Nuclear Fission Reactors, Radiation Effects, MATERIALS TECHNOLOGY FOR NUCLEAR WASTE TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL.

Description: This sixth volume in the series covering the latest results in the field includes abstracts of papers which appeared between the publication of Annual Retrospective V (Volumes 213-215) and the end of October 2003.

Description: This issue covers, in the form of abstracts, the work which has been reported between the previous retrospective and the end of 2001. The choice of abstracts is guided by criteria such as accessibility, data content and description of important new techniques, phenomena or anomalies. But there is also a thorough coverage of more qualitative features of diffusion and defect phenomena, computer modelling and theory. The volume also includes, as usual, a number of invited review and experimental papers which treat a wide range of topics in the field.
The more theoretical review papers presented here cover the modelling of intergranular segregation and diffusion in alloys, as well as the impact of electron theory. The more practical aspects of diffusion are described by reviews concerning interdiffusion in coatings and long-term thermomechanical behaviour.

Description: This Handbook/Databook contains hundreds of completely updated figures and tables. The authors are among the most prominent in the field - and each is a specialist in the subject matter of his peer reviewed contribution.
