Books by Keyword: Surface Defect

Description: This special edition presents research results spanning practically significant materials science domains: polymer engineering, surface treatment and protection, microwave-absorbing materials, and solid electrolytes. The publication is created to serve as a resource for researchers, engineers, and graduate students pursuing high-performance materials and their practical deployment into the latest technologies.

Description: This compilation of papers encompasses the results of two conferences, namely, the 7th International Conference on Building Materials and Materials Engineering (ICBMM 2023) and the 6th International Conference on Nanoscience and Technology (ICNST 2023) which were successfully held in Porto, Portugal, and Tokyo, Japan, respectively. The edition will be helpful to specialists in materials science, electrochemistry, building materials and construction.

Description:

This special issue includes articles that reflect the latest results of scientific and engineering research in high-performance structural metals, means of structural materials corrosion protection, strength of materials and heat and mass transfer phenomena. The presented special edition will be useful to engineers in mechanical engineering and researchers in materials science.

Description: Ceramics were arguably the first materials ever synthesized by Man, and they continue to be an invaluable and ever-developing resource. One newly expanding field, for instance, is that of the semiconducting ceramic and its unique high-temperature electronic properties; as reported by the sister-publication to the present one: Defects and Diffusion in Semiconductors - an Annual Retrospective (DDF162-163).

The present volume covers ceramics in general, and succinctly summarises recent progress made in the field. This book series is a spin-off and continuation of the 30-year long efforts of the journal, Diffusion and Defect Forum, in keeping the busy researcher up-to-date with the latest data and theoretical trends. A similar issue will appear each year and thereby ensure the continuous monitoring of recent progress; the present volume details those papers published during the approximate period from June 1997 to August 1998. The usually accepted definition of 'ceramic' has been widened slightly herein so as to include, as well as carbides, allotropic forms of carbon and new materials such as fullerenes. In general, priority of coverage is given to the most accessible work and, in particular, to those papers which furnish original data or report important new techniques, phenomena or anomalies. Lower priority has been given to reviews and to entirely theoretical work.

Description: Surface Diffusion and Surface Structure - Ten Years of Research The topic of surface diffusion continues to increase in importance, not only because of its practical importance in fields as diverse as catalysis and crystal growth/solidification, but also because this is a case in which fundamental diffusion processes can be monitored in extreme detail; even to the point of following a single migrating atom.
