Description: This special collection of peer-reviewed papers focuses on the technology, characterization and equipment required for handling nanocomposite films and hard and superhard coatings. It also covers subjects related to the development, properties and methods for the characterization of nanostructured materials for: solid-state electronics and energy technologies; nanocomposite films, hard and superhard coatings, tribological / corrosion-resistant coatings; surfaces and interfaces; nano-sensors, nanodevices and nanosystems, Equipment for deposition and characterization of nanocomposite films and industrial application of hard and superhard coatings.

Polycrystalline Semiconductors VI

Edited by: O. Bonnaud, T. Mohammed-Brahim, H.P. Strunk and J.H. Werner

Online since: November 2001

Description: This book comprises the contributions to the sixth conference on polycrystalline semiconductors (POLYSE).
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The conference covered many aspects of polycrystalline semiconductors, but was more applications-oriented than on previous occasions; thereby reflecting the rapid evolution of these technologies. POLYSE 2000 brought together research specialists from >basic research, as well as from research & development engineering, all of whom are working on devices such as thin-film transistors, micro-electromechanical systems, or sensors and actuators. In particular, ten internationally recognized scientists (J. Morante, S.Périchon, M. Konagai, S. Wagner, R. Hagenbeck, D.A. Bonnell, G. Horowitz, T.Fuyuki, J. Kocka and V. Chuwere) were invited to review their work on several interesting and promising aspects of the subject: such as, micro-systems, solar cells, thin-film transistors, organic polycrystalline devices and polycrystalline ceramics.
