Ceramic Interfaces: Properties and Applications V

Edited by: Keizo Uematsu and Harumi Yokokawa

Online since: November 2003

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
This book considers many of the various aspects of ceramics interfaces from a gamut of viewpoints. The aim has been to bring together a wide range of specialists in this field, and this approach enables the reader to grasp quickly and fully the present level of understanding and to appreciate the problems which remain in the various research efforts pertinent to ceramic interfaces. Furthermore, it facilitates the mapping out of the direction of future research in these fields, which are much too complex to be covered by a single scientific discipline.

Diffusion in Ceramics

Edited by: Dr. David J. Fisher

Online since: May 1999

Description: Although this volume is ostensibly devoted to diffusion per se, it also covers ionic conduction because this phenomenon, in the often complex and charge-sensitive structures of many ceramics, usually gives important clues as to the routes taken by all migrating species.

The definition of what constitutes a ceramic is also liberally interpreted here so as to include substances which are not normally used as such in the industrial sense. One obvious anomaly is the class of so-called room-temperature superconductors which, perversely, are expected to be used at the opposite end of the temperature scale to traditional ceramic applications. The coverage of research on oxides, carbides and nitrides herein is believed to be as complete as possible, while other possible candidates for inclusion are not necessarily to be found in the 'miscellaneous' section. Silicides, in particular, are notable by their absence.
