Description: The special edition is devoted to issues related to applying Positron Annihilation Spectroscopy as a nondestructive technique for studying voids and defects in solids. The first chapter contains articles that analyse the features of the latest techniques and instrumentation and present the results of developing some of them. The second chapter is devoted to the practical application of the methods of positron annihilation spectroscopy for studying and analysing defects in alloys, multilayer graphene, photoconductor thin films, complex iron-containing oxide glasses, for the early detection of mental disorders and cancer, etc. Without a doubt, this special edition will be useful for both beginners and professionals with experience in the field of positron annihilation spectroscopy.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters BCI (WoS).
The papers presented in this special issue, “Glass Science and its Applications”, cover the physics and chemistry of conventional glasses, sol gel glasses and glass ceramic materials as used in technological and biomedical applications; for example, the first paper describes the optimization of ormosil glasses for luminescence-based dissolved-oxygen sensor applications. Here, the main aim was to prepare and evaluate various sol gel film compositions in order to identify those most promising for oxygen sensing.

Description: The purpose of this book is to provide a state-of-the-art picture of the field of radiation damage. It covers various topics extending from theoretical understanding of energy deposition and defect creation to industrial and nuclear applications.
