Materials, as utilized, experience the effect of residual, internal stresses, as these are the outcome of the material synthesis and/or engineering, and/or application in practice. Understanding and control of residual stresses is a prerequisite for successful application of materials in wide ranging areas as corresponding to, e.g., the microelectronic industry (thin films) and the automotive industry (crankshafts).

The proceedings of the 6th European Conference on Powder iffraction cover 191 papers in the areas of X-ray and neutron diffraction (36 papers). Chapters on Method Development, Development of Instruments and Techniques, Software, Synchrotron and Neutron Diffraction offer new ideas on subjects as Microstructure of Materials, Determination of Crystallographic Structure, Quantitative Phase Analysis, and Texture & Coarse Grains. Developments in analysis using the X-ray lens –a bundle of glass capillaries- and single or double X-ray mirrors continue.

The rare earth elements and compounds have unique spectroscopic, magnetic and chemical properties. These materials not only provide interesting windows into many aspects of science but are being used in an ever increasing number of strategic applications, particularly in the high growth sectors of world economics such as electronics, environmental protection (catalysis), magnets, nuclear medicine therapy and agriculture.

Description: The research field of Electroceramics is rapidly expanding, and has tremendous implications for a wide range of high-tech applications.
This book presents the latest research results on conductive ceramics; dielectrics; piezo-electric ceramics; ZnO semiconducting ceramics; insulators; batteries and cells; and memory devices.

Description: Like the previous conferences in this series, POLYSE '98 covered many aspects of polycrystalline semiconductors. Whereas earlier proceedings had included many contributions on basic research, for example on the structural properties of single grain boundaries, later proceedings had included more articles on solar cells and thin-film transistors, seemingly marking a transition to a more technology-oriented conference. However, the contributions to POLYSE '98 show that the POLYSE-series is again bringing together researchers from basic research as well as engineers working on devices.

The 84 papers cover topics such as: beam-induced currents, thin-film silicon, silicon crystallization, oxide semiconductor films, chalcogenide and spinel films, chalcopyrite films, thin-film junctions and devices; thus providing an extensive survey of the most recent results in polycrystalline semiconductor research.

This publication contains the proceedings of the sixth Latin-American Workshop on "Magnetism, Magnetic Materials and their Applications". The 85 peer-reviewed academic and technical papers cover a wide spectrum of the many interesting aspects of this subject. The contents are grouped under the headings: fundamental properties, thin films and magneto-optics, manganites and oxides, magneto-resistance and magneto-impedance, hard magnets, low temperature magnetism, ferrites and steels, and fluids and particles.

The proceedings of this Symposium cover a broad range of areas concerned with thin film research and applications. Particular emphasis is placed on the properties of thin films and their final application in modern technology.

Description: Condensed matter physics is an important field, not only for physicists, but also for other scientists and engineers. It encompasses all types of solid and liquid materials. Solid-state phenomena in metals, semiconductors, dielectrics, magnetic and optical materials in all their forms (crystalline, amorphous, nanocrystalline, polymer, liquid) are being intensely investigated. This is being done both for fundamental reasons, and because of the numerous actual and possible practical applications. Therefore, condensed matter physics is also the keystone of electrical, electronic and mechanical engineering, technology, and the development of its methods thus has a direct influence upon applied sciences.
