Description: We are pleased to present the selection of contributions from the 2023 7th International Conference on Materials Sciences and Nanomaterials (ICMSN 2023) which was held in Cambridge, United Kingdom, during July 11-13, 2023, and the 2023 6th International Conference on Advanced Composite Materials (ICACM 2023) which was held in Hosei University, Tokyo, Japan, during August 23-25, 2023. These contributions from the ICMSN 2023 and ICACM 2023 included submissions from universities, research institutes and industries. All of the papers were peer-reviewed by the conference committee members and international reviewers. They were selected based on their quality and relevance to the subjects of the conferences. The fields of this selection included structural materials, nanomaterials, electronic materials, material chemistry, polymers and composites, mechanics of composite materials, materials processing engineering, and so on.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The main objective of this volume is to present the current understanding of leading researchers, engineers and scientists - from Romania and from around the world - concerning these fields in order to provide a platform from where researchers, engineers, academicians as well as industrial professionals can present their latest experiences and developmental activities in the mechanical engineering, manufacturing systems, robotics, medical and military fields.

Description: The world of today must face up to two contradictory energy problems: on the one hand, there is the sharply growing consumer demand in countries such as China and India. On the other hand, natural resources are dwindling. Moreover, many of those countries which still possess substantial gas and oil supplies are politically unstable. As a result, renewable natural energy sources have received great attention. Among these, solar-cell technology is one of the most promising candidates. However, there still remains the problem of the manufacturing costs of such cells. Many attempts have been made to reduce the production costs of “conventional” solar cells (manufactured from monocrystalline silicon using diffusion methods) by instead using cheaper grades of silicon, and simpler pn-junction fabrication. That is the ‘hero’ of this book; the heterojunction solar cell.

Description: This book is the result of twenty years of experience on the fabrication of active micro-cooling systems, the fabrication of electronic devices (radiation and magnetic sensors, transistors), the fabrication of optical devices (new green LED), and the adaptation of silicon simulation software to diamond. This includes the integration of the current transport models of diamond. The book emphasize the subjects' substrate selection, mechanical and chemical structuring, doping, and metallization. Also included is simulation as a tool to predict the results of the technological steps. Though a state of the art method is far behind in comparison to the silicon and gallium arsenide growth we assume the same state as exists in these technologies, namely that the diamond substrates are commercially available.
