Books by Keyword: Positron Annihilation

Description: Some theoretical aspects, practical results and experimental techniques of use of the positron annihilation phenomena in the research of the structure, defects of structure and other properties of different materials and mediums are covered in this journal volume. It comprises the papers presented at the 17th International Conference on Positron Annihilation (ICPA-17, Wuhan, China, 20-25 September, 2015).

The present topical volume captures a representative cross-section of some of the recent advances in the area of mass transport. Reflecting the enormous breadth of the area, the range of topics covered is accordingly very large. Topics include diffusion in oxides, metals and alloys, membranes, microstructural changes and evolution, self, solute and interdiffusion, and diffusion in grain boundaries.

Description: These proceedings, comprising 66 peer-review papers, are divided into 10 chapters covering: fundamental aspects (of positron and positronium chemistry), membranes, molecular systems, confined systems, liquids, polymers, porous systems, non-metallic materials, nuclear materials, experimental techniques. This work owes a lot to the authors’ commitment to positron and positronium chemistry and related subjects.

This work reflects the wide and fascinating range of fields to which positrons have made important contributions. This covers, in particular, the development of low-energy (eV-keV) beams of essentially mono-energetic positrons, in the late 1960s, which opened the door to an even wider range of fundamental and technological studies: from surface physics to polymer films. In her introduction Professor Ganguly offers some background knowledge on the extent to which positrons have influenced and contributed to work in numerous fields.

The present topical volume presents a representative cross-section of some recent advances made in the area of diffusion. The range of topics covered is very large, and, this reflects the enormous breadth of the topic of diffusion. The areas covered include diffusion in intermetallics, phenomenological diffusion theory, diffusional creep, kinetics of steel-making, diffusion in thin films, precipitation, diffusional phase transformations, atomistic diffusion simulations, epitaxial growth and diffusion in porous media.

Description: This second volume in a new series covering entirely general results in the fields of defects and diffusion includes 356 abstracts of papers which appeared between the end of 2009 and the end of 2010.
