Description:

This volume contains the papers presented at the XXth International Conference on Solid Compounds of Transition Elements (SCTE2016), held at the Paraninfo Building of the University of Zaragoza, 11th-15th April 2016.

The papers are representative of all the subjects covered by the Conference and have been arranged into seven chapters which encompass materials and properties, grouped by shared features or functionalities: Intermetallic compounds, Metal oxides, Magnetocaloric, thermoelectric and energy storage materials, Multifunctional materials, Strongly correlated and superconducting compounds, Molecular magnetism and Disordered materials.

The solar updraft tower (also: Solar Chimney) power technology (SUTPT) is simple, robust, sustainable, and a long lasting technology, producing electric power from solar radiation with low maintenance cost and no cooling water. A SUTPT plant will provide electric power over many decades. The feasibility of the SUTPT has been demonstrated successfully by the famous Manzanares Prototype and more recently by a number of project studies. The main goal of the special collection was to gather the current knowledge in thermodynamics, fluid-mechanics, structural engineering, as well as comparison of hybrid or alternative energy concepts. The associated discussions will facilitate exchanges of new ideas and provide a guide for future research directions in the SUTPT area.

The study of materials in terms of their effectiveness/usefulness in device application is important to the technological development of a country: countries which concentrate on the growth and characterization of technologically important materials become developed countries. Hence, the growth and characterization of new materials is very important to many countries. This especially topical volume on the Characterization of Technological Materials reports on the technology and characterization of important technological materials. The systems covered include thermo-electric materials, thin films, nano sensor materials and semiconductors.
