Defects and Diffusion in Semiconductors XII

Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView: Developments in semiconductors, metals, ceramics, and miscellaneous material over the past year are reviewed in 15 original papers. Among their topics are the non-Gaussian diffusion of phosphorus and arsenic in silicon with local density diffusivity model, the artificial aging behavior of 6063 alloy studied using Vickers hardness and positron annihilation lifetime techniques, the liquid-phase sintering of tungsten heavy alloys, new experimental proof of phase and structure formation in metallic materials eletrodeposited through a liquid state stage, the variable range hopping model in manganese oxides, and dynamics of trililoxane wetting of hydrophobic surfaces. The final 200 pages are devoted to abstracts of articles on specific materials.
