In this special issue, we have several papers that are addressing the current status of the fundamental issues related to synthesis and the diverse applications of semiconducting nanowires and nanotubes. The papers related to nanocrystalline polymer materials presented in chapter IV discusses the different aspects associated with the synthesis and properties of polymer materials and provides good scope for researchers to carry out further research on polymer materials. Demonstration about the usage of specific nanocrystalline materials for efficient drug delivery and antimicrobial activities are being discussed in chapter V under the title nanostructured materials for biological applications and will be an impetus for carrying out research in this area. Finally, in the chapter VI papers related to sensors and devices using nanostructured materials give an overview about the fabrication of devices like, field effect transistors, gas sensors and solar cells using nanomaterials.

Description: This work’s contents were subjected to strict peer-review by experts, and describe the latest advances and applications in the fields of surface engineering/coatings, modeling, analysis and simulation of manufacturing processes, materials forming/machining/joining, mechanical behavior and fracture, tooling testing and evaluation of materials.

This volume contains the proceedings of the 8th European Conference on Silicon Carbide and Related Materials (ECSCRM 2010), held in Oslo (Sundvolden Conference Centre), Norway, on August 29th – September 2nd. The editions of ECSCRM have developed over the years and, today, ECSCRM is the leading European conference in the field of ‘SiC and related materials and their applications’. This volume is divided into five chapters ranging from ‘SiC growth’ to ‘Biosystems’ and thus represents a comprehensive coverage of the field.

Description: Updated knowledge on “Advances in semiconducting materials” is of great significance for both fundamental research and industrial application. The papers contained in this special volume address diverse topics related to recent trends in the science of semiconducting materials as related to synthesis, characterization, applications, etc.

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 221-223) and the end of September 2004 (allowing for vagaries of journal availability).

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: The book covers all aspects of the micromorphology of as-grown, etched, abraded and lapped, and fractured surfaces of single and polycrystalline solids, and glasses of as diverse substances as insulators, semiconductors, metals and polymers.
