Defect and Diffusion Forum Vol. 418

This journal's volume is devoted to experimental and theoretical research in condensed matter physics. The research series covers a wide range of areas of condensed matter physics, from computational models for studying the electronic structure of semiconductors, their thermodynamic properties and periodic photonic structures, to pulsed laser deposition technologies and analysis of operational defects and strength properties of modern steels and alloys. The presented edition will be useful to many specialists and researchers whose activities are related to the theoretical and experimental investigation in materials science.
