ESSDERC '89
The conference ESSDERC '89 held in September 1989 in Berlin was concerned with the physics, electrical characteristics, reliability and processing of solid state devices and electronic materials. The proceedings contain all invited and contributed papers of the conference and thus becomes a state-of-the-art-report of solid state device research in Europe 1989.
Computer-aided design has come of age in the magnetic devices industry. From its early beginnings in the 1960s, when the precision needs of the experimental physics community first created a need for computational aids to magnet design, CAD software has grown to occupy an important spot in the industrial designer's tool kit. Numerous commercial CAD systems are now available for magnetics work, and many more software packages are used in-house by large industrial firms. While their capabilities v...
