Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
This collection covers processes and synthesis, crystal chemistry, phase equilibria, thermodynamics, magnetic and electrical properties, theory, electronic structure, chemical bonding and applications of intermetallic compounds, pnictides, chalcogenides, oxides, halides and other solid compounds containing transition elements. It provides an excellent overview of recent advances in topics relevant to solid compounds with transition elements, and will constitute an excellent reference source for scientists and other working in this field.

Description: Smart Materials are ones that can respond to environmental stimuli by exhibiting changes in properties (mechanical or physical), structure, composition or function.
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The growing interest in their development is driven by emerging applications and by the integration of smart materials into industrial systems for civilian, industrial, medical and military applications. Among them are composite multiferroic materials which exhibit two or more ferroic features such as ferromagnetism/magnetostriction, ferroelectricity/piezoelectricity or ferroelasticity/shape-memory effects due to their unusual responses: including very large magneto-electric susceptibility, giant magnetostriction and energy-coupling coefficients which approach unity. Other systems include shape-memory and magnetic shape-memory alloys, magnetostrictive materials, magnetorheological fluids and polymers.

Description: This collection comprises 77 peer-reviewed papers which, together, offer a wealth of up-to-date information on “Smart Materials & Micro/Nanosystems”.
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
They are grouped under the rubrics:  chapter 1 - Ferroelectrics, piezoelectrics, electrostrictive and magnetostrictive materials; chapter 2 - Stimuli responsive polymers and gels; chapter 3 - Shape memory polymers & magnetorheological fluids; chapter 4 - Smart multifunctional materials and composites; chapter 5 - Hybrid active materials systems; chapter 6 - Smart nanocomposites and nanomaterials; chapter 7 - Mems / nems; chapter 8 - Recent developments in electrical writable organic memory devices. This special volume has also been published online in the series, “Advances in Science and Technology” Vol. 54.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The principal purpose of assembling this special volume was to create a truly international body of peer-reviewed contributions on “Interaction between defects and anelastic phenomena in solids”.
