Electron Microscopy XIV

Edited by: Danuta Stróż and Krystian Prusik

Online since: March 2012

Description: These are the proceedings of the XIV International Conference on Electron Microscopy (EM2011) held in Wisła, Poland from the 26 to 30th June 2011. The goal of the conference was to provide a forum where researchers from many different countries could exchange their latest advances in the field of structural studies, regarding the use of electron microscopic techniques as applied to various materials. Plenary and invited lectures offered overviews of exciting new developments which highlighted the applications of new electron microscopic techniques in physics, chemistry, materials science and in life and earth sciences.

Ceramic Interfaces: Properties and Applications V

Edited by: Keizo Uematsu and Harumi Yokokawa

Online since: November 2003

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
This book considers many of the various aspects of ceramics interfaces from a gamut of viewpoints. The aim has been to bring together a wide range of specialists in this field, and this approach enables the reader to grasp quickly and fully the present level of understanding and to appreciate the problems which remain in the various research efforts pertinent to ceramic interfaces. Furthermore, it facilitates the mapping out of the direction of future research in these fields, which are much too complex to be covered by a single scientific discipline.
