Description: The simple, empirical, surprisingly accurate and venerable Arrhenius equation, based upon the work of Van't Hoff, is very useful for summarising large bodies of experimentally determined diffusion data for a given host/diffusant system. It is the first port of call for any researcher planning new diffusion studies, or for engineers who need to estimate heat-treatment times in manufacturing processes. The present compilation covers Arrhenius parameters for the host-metals: aluminum, barium, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, gallium, gold, hafnium, indium, iridium, iron, lead, lithium, magnesium, molybdenum, nickel, niobium, palladium, platinum, potassium, rhodium, ruthenium, scandium, silver, sodium, tantalum, thallium, thorium, tin, titanium, tungsten, vanadium, zinc and zirconium. The 1315 entries cover the period from 1927 to 2013.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The major topics covered by this special collection include dielectrics, piezoelectric ceramics, ferroelectrics, lead-free piezoelectric ceramics, Li-ion battery-related materials, secondary batteries, solid oxide fuel cells, dye-sensitized solar cells, the properties and processing of thin films, magnetic ceramics, semiconducting ceramics, sensors and ceramic science and processing. The microstructures of the materials considered also ranged from single crystals to bulk ceramics, to thin films and finally to nanocrystals; thus providing a complete overview of the subject.
