Defects and Diffusion in Ceramics XIII

Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView: All but 70 pages are devoted to abstracts of 408 articles published recently. They are arranged in sections on carbon and carbides; nitrides; oxides; silica, silicates, and silicides; and miscellaneous. They are introduced by seven original papers that summarize recent developments in metals, ceramics, and theory and simulation, among them the bulk diffusion of homovalent atomic probes of vanadium and niobium in single crystals of tungsten, the solid-phase mechanical alloying of bcc iron alloys by nitrogen in ball mills, utilizing granite powder waste in concrete production, and calculating the parameter of Ashcroft's potential using vacancy formation energy for some bcc metals.
