Adamson Sm Physical Chemistry 2e
Rechargeable batteries with high energy density are in demand as energy sources for various purposes, such as handies, zero emission electric vehicles, or load levelling in electric power. Lithium batteries are the most promising to fulfill such needs because of their intrinsic discharge voltage with relatively light weight. This volume is an overview of the challenges facing the further development of lithium-ion batteries from the standpoint of both materials science and technology.
The second volume, Foundations of Carrier Transport, presents a catalogue of the physics of carrier transport in semiconductors with a view to energy device models. We systematically explain the diffusion-drift model that is central to solar cell operation, the different responses of band bending and electrical field distribution that occur when a voltage is applied to a device with contacts and the central issue of injection and mechanisms of contacts. We describe the carrier transport in disor...

The 2007-2012 World Outlook for Chocolate-Shell Easter Eggs
by Philip M. Parker
The whole of Volume 22 is devoted to the kinetics and mechanisms of the decomposition and interaction of inorganic solids, extended to include metal carboxylates. After an introductory chapter on the characteristic features of reactions in the solid phase, experimental methods of investigation of solid reactions and the measurement of reaction rates are reviewed in Chapter 2 and the theory of solid state kinetics in Chapter 3. The reactions of single substances, loosely grouped on the basis of a...
Light Scattering from Polymer Solutions and Nanoparticle Dispersions (Springer Laboratory)
by Wolfgang Schartl
Light scattering is a very powerful method for characterizing the structure of polymers and nanoparticles in solution. As part of the Springer Laboratory series, this book provides a simple-to-read and illustrative textbook probing the seemingly very complicated topic of light scattering from polymers and nanoparticles in dilute solution, and goes further to cover some of the latest technical developments in experimental light scattering.
Laser Spectroscopy VIII (Springer Series in Optical Sciences, #55)
The Eighth International Conference on Laser Spectroscopy (EICOLS '87) was held at the Sunwing Hotel in A.re, Sweden, June 22-26; 1987. Fol lowing the traditions ef its predecessors at Vail, Megeve, Jackson Lake, Rottach-Egern, Jasper Park, Interlaken and Maui the intent of EICOLS '87 was to provide a forum for active scientists to meet in an informal at mosphere to discuss recent developments in laser spectroscopy. The scenic and remote location of the conference venue greatly stimulated a li...
The latest volume in the world renowned Solid State Physics series marks the fruition of Founding Editor David Turnbull's outstanding tenure as series editor. Volume 47 presents five articles written by leadingexperts on areas including crystal-melt interfacial tension, order-disorder transformation in alloys, brittle matrix composites, surfaces and interfaces, and magnetoresistance.
Recent Advances in Relativistic Molecular Theory (Recent Advances In Computational Chemistry, #5)
Relativistic effects, though minor in light atoms, increase rapidly in magnitude as the atomic number increases. For heavy atom species, it becomes necessary to discard the Schroedinger equation in favor of the Dirac equation. Construction of an effective many-body Hamiltonian that accurately accounts for both relativistic and electron correlation effects in many-electron systems is a challenge. It is only in the past 20-25 years that relativistic quantum chemistry has emerged as a field of rese...
Ionic Hydration in Chemistry and Biophysics (Studies in Physical and Theoretical Chemistry)
by B E Conway
Arriving amid exciting developments in nanotechnology and recent successes in catalytic emulsion polymerization of olefins, Colloidal Polymers describes ultramodern approaches to synthesis, preparation, characterization, and functionalization of latexes, nanoparticles, and myriad additional colloidal polymer systems. This research-saturated resource communicates critical parameters for method selection, guidelines for controlling structural and colloid properties, and other tools to assist in th...
CRC Handbook of Enthalpy Data of Polymer-Solvent Systems
by Christian Wohlfarth
The CRC Handbook of Enthalpy Data of Polymer-Solvent Systems presents data that is as essential to the production, process design, and use of polymers as it is to understanding the physical behavior and intermolecular interactions in polymer solutions and in developing thermodynamic polymer models. Providing an all-encompassing collection

In this book well-known experts highlight cutting-edge research priorities and discuss the state of the art in the field of solid oxide fuel cells giving an update on specific subjects such as protonic conductors, interconnects, electrocatalytic and catalytic processes and modelling approaches.Fundamentals and advances in this field are illustrated to help young researchers address issues in the characterization of materials and in the analysis of processes, not often tackled in scholarly books.
Dielectric Properties of Porous Media (Springer Series in Materials Science, #59)
by S.O. Gladkov
This monograph systematically presents the fundamentals of theoretical and experimental research into the most important physical characteristics of porous structures. Non-standard behavior of certain physical parameters, such as the breakdown of the electric field of porous substances, is described. The method of calculation of the thermal conductivity coefficient of porous dielectrics, based on the non-equilibrium principle, is illustrated in detail. This approach is then applied to the invest...
This proceedings volume contains the invited talks presented at two atomic physics symposia held jointly in Buenos Aires, Argentina from 28-30 July 2005. All papers were peer-reviewed. They represent the latest research in dynamics of collision systems involving collisions between photons, electrons, and ions and a diverse range of target species: atoms, molecules, clusters, and surfaces. There is a particular emphasis on correlation and many-body effects in excitation and ionization.
