The aim of this book is to provide the reader with the latest advanced research results on, and an improved understanding of, various aspects of the processing and characterization of materials.

Description: This seven-year retrospective covers the significant results, reported in these fields during that time, and includes abstracts of papers which appeared after the publication of Defect and Diffusion Forum, Volumes 150-151 and Volumes 181-182, (which were last to cover these topics systematically) and the end of August 2004 (allowing for vagaries of journal availability).

This volume is dedicated to the ever-expanding fields of application of nitrides in ceramics, metals, glasses, composites, coatings, sensors, catalysts and electronic thin films. The papers cover all branches of materials science and engineering which concern the role of nitrogen in improving and modifying the properties of materials; particularly those destined for novel applications. All of the papers have been peer-reviewed prior to publication, so that this book will make a very significant contribution to assessing the current state-of-the-art concerning Nitrides and Oxynitrides.

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.

These volumes of Materials Science Forum contain selected papers presented at the Sixth International Symposium on Electrochemical Methods in Corrosion Research.
The focal points was the industrial application of electrochemical methods for corrosion testing and monitoring as well as for corrosion prediction, prevention and control. Special emphasis was placed on the availability and reliability of test methods for improving the quality of metallic materials and their industrial applicability, as well as on the equipment to be used to this end. Nevertheless, fundamental research was also covered by a large number of papers.

Description: The increasing interest in the use of electrical techniques for the characterisation of material properties indicates the need for a book in which the most important issues in this area are addressed. Consequently, the aim of this volume is to provide a comprehensive description of the electrical techniques used in studies of the semiconducting properties of materials based upon ionic solids, principally metal oxides. A second aim is to present an updated review of the most important data on the defect-related properties of ionic solids, such as the transport of charge or matter, and their electrochemistry in an accessible form.

Description: This comprehensive volume covers practically all aspects concerning the passivity of metallic and semiconductor materials. Recent advances resulting from new materials in new environments, from metals and insulating films in multilayer structures, and from the chemical side of semiconductor technology are presented.

Description: The fourth of the series International Symposium on Systems with Fast Ionic Transport was held in Warsaw, Poland. The Symposium devoted for presentation of the recent results and discussion of problems in the area of solid state ionics, among the scientists from East and from West was attended by 72 participants from 15 countries.
