Books by Keyword: Structural Defects

Description: This special edition provides a focused overview of the state of the art in the areas of control, analysis of characteristics, and effect compensation of silicon carbide structure defects, highlighting the scientific foundations and technological solutions that underpin the development of high-quality SiC devices.

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: Following the long tradition that started in 1987, the International Workshop on Positron Studies of Defects 2024 (PSD-24) will be held in Como, Italy, in the period from September the 1st to 6th, 2024. The aim of the workshop is to provide an opportunity for exchange of the latest results and scientific information concerning the positron interactions with solids and surfaces, the generation of slow positron beams and their applications.

Description: This volume on materials engineering comprises a collection of abstracts of recent scholarly papers and articles concerning a wide variety of topics related to the effects of structural defects and diffusion in many material areas, including thin-film manufacturing and facing metals.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The development of new engineering materials and technologies continues at a rapid pace. However, the application and dissemination of many of these materials and technologies is especially limited with regard to their incorporation into integrated design in urban eco-technologies, their market perspectives and their timely contribution to the existing and future requirements of mankind. The topics covered in this volume include: nanomaterials, materials for energy, metals, polymers, ceramics, composites, biomaterials, thin films and materials processing. The work is sure to have a stimulating effect in the development of new ideas.

Description: This seventh volume in the series covering the latest results in the field includes abstracts of papers which appeared between the publication of Annual Retrospective VI (Volumes 224-225) and the end of November 2004 (allowing for vagaries of journal availability).
