Nano-Scale and Amorphous Materials

Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView: This volume collects 76 selected papers from the 11th International Union of Materials Research Societies International Conference in Asia (IUMRS-ICA), held in September 2010, in Qingdao, China. The conference brought together scientists, engineers, and students from Asia and around the world to discuss materials research and development in the areas of energy and environmental materials; advanced structural materials; functional and electronic materials; nano-scale and amorphous materials; health and biological materials; and materials modeling, simulation, and characterization. This volume—the fourth in a series of five—focuses on nano-scale and amorphous materials, including papers from the symposia on nano-materials and technology and bulk metallic glasses and high-entropy alloys, as well as magnetic materials at nano-scale, and their properties, characteristics, preparation, behaviors, morphology, synthesis, development, fabrication, and performance evaluation.
