Books by Keyword: Segregation

Description: “Dislocation Theory” covers the research into this fascinating field which was reported in the period: 1995-1999. The coverage is limited to purely theoretical work; more practical aspects having certainly been covered by the relevant DDF volumes during that period. As indicated above, the widest possible range of dislocation phenomena has been included; with the exception of liquid crystal defects. But the coverage also includes that close relative of the dislocation; the disclination.

Description: This work, like others in the series (Defects and Diffusion inSemiconductors and Defects and Diffusion in Ceramics), continues a 30-year program which has the aim of succinctly summarizing progress in the fields of diffusion and defect research.

Description: Continuing the scope of the preceding Conferences on Intergranular and Interphase Boundaries in Materials, the present conference focused on the atomic-level modeling of interfaces, the structural and chemical characterization of internal interfaces, on their thermodynamic, kinetic, mechanical, electrical, magnetic behavior and high-Tc superconductivity, and on the application of current knowledge to the design of polycrystalline materials having improved properties. Particular attention was paid to non-equilibrium segregation in irradiated materials.

Description: The present publication comprises the proceedings of the 10th International Summer School on Crystal Growth. It is an excellent introduction to the main features of the science and technology of crystal growth.

Description: The phenomena of grain boundary diffusion and grain boundary segregation play major roles in determining the properties and behavior of a wide variety of materials. Even though the basic principles have been known for a long time, the field continues to yield a number of very challenging questions.

Description: These proceedings comprise the papers presented at the international conference on 'Diffusion in Materials (DIMAT-96)' held at Schloss Nordkirchen, Germany, August 1996 - the largest international diffusion conference so far held.
The two-volume set therefore covers a very broad spectrum of topics. From the materials point of view, metals, alloys, intermetallics, elemental and compound semiconductors, amorphous materials, nonmetals such as fast ionic conductors, oxides, nitrides, polymers and even melts were discussed.

Description: Interest in the phenomenon of superplasticity has been increasing steadily over the past two decades, both with regard to promoting fundamental scientific understanding as well as commercial application. Most of the early studies on superplasticity dealt with microduplex metallic alloys. The unabated interest in, and scientific research on, superplasticity has now broadened the scope of the topic to include intermetallic compounds, ceramics, composites and nanocrystalline materials.

Description: This publication presents the proceedings of the International Symposium towards Innovation in Superplasticity. The research project, "Innovation in Superplasticity", was chosen to be one of the priority scientific research efforts in 1996, of the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture, Japan.

Description: This publication focuses on the structural and chemical characterization of interfaces and their kinetic, mechanical and electrical properties. The size of the volume, consisting of almost 200 papers and over 900 pages, reflects the great current interest in the field.

Description: The review and research papers presented in this volume may be subdivided into three aims:
(i) the investigation and modelling of interfacial structure (ii) efforts to correlate structure/property relationships and (iii) phenomenological descriptions of particular interfacial properties The conference focussed on four objectives: 1.Grain Boundaries Structure and Properties 2.Dynamical and Mechanical Properties 3.Heterophase Interfaces 4.Electrical Properties and Superconductors.
