Mikhail Alexandrovich Krivoglaz died unexpectedly when he was preparing the English edition of his two-volume monograph on diffraction and diffuse scatter- ing of X-rays and neutrons in imperfect crystals. His death was a heavy blow to all who knew him, who had worked with him and to the world science community as a whole. The application of the diffraction techniques for the study of imperfections of crystal structures was the major field of Krivoglaz' work throughout his career in science. He...
Lpcvd Silicon Nitride and Oxynitride Films (Lecture Notes in Computer Science, #1)
Optical Materials presents, in a unified form, the underlying physical and structural processes that determine the optical behavior of materials. It does this by combining elements from physics, optics, and materials science in a seamless manner, and introducing quantum mechanics when needed. The book groups the characteristics of optical materials into classes with similar behavior. In treating each type of material, the text pays particular attention to atomic composition and chemical makeup,...

This is the first textbook on nucleation, crystal growth and epitaxy. It is written from a unified point of view and thus is a noneclectic presentation of this interdisciplinary topic in the field of materials science. The reader is required to possess some knowledge of mathematics and physics. All formulae and equations are illustrated by examples of technological importance. This book gives not only the fundamentals but also the state of the art on the subject. Thus it serves as a valuable ref...
Combining a 2007 favourite and a brand new title, this bundle will get you up to speed with the essential fundamentals of DSP principles and practice. Digital Signal Processing is the FIRST book that bridges the gap that separates DSP theory and hardware design. Covering DSP principles, applications and hardware issues, and including instructive examples, it is an invaluable resource for anyone studying or practicing engineering. Digital Signal Processing System is the ONLY DSP book to comb...
MicroCMOS Design covers key analog design methodologies with an emphasis on analog systems that can be integrated into systems-on-chip (SoCs). Starting at the transistor level, this book introduces basic concepts in the design of system-level complementary metal-oxide semiconductors (CMOS). It uses practical examples to illustrate circuit construction so that readers can develop an intuitive understanding rather than just assimilate the usual conventional analytical knowledge. As SoCs become i...
International Workshop on Microelectromechanical Systems
This text focuses on the design, modelling, fabrication, operation and applications of microelectromechanical devices, machines and systems which are constructed on the micrometre to millimetre scale.
Nanotechnology for Electronic Materials and Devices (Nanostructure Science and Technology)
Quickly becoming the hottest topic of the new millennium (2.4 billion dollars funding in US alone) Current status and future trends of micro and nanoelectronics research Written by leading experts in the corresponding research areas Excellent tutorial for graduate students and reference for "gurus" Provides a broad overlook and fundamentals of nanoscience and nanotechnology from chemistry to electronic devices
Don't worry if you never took a physics course, you can easily update your electronics knowledge by following Lou's clear and logical systems-level approach. When you finish this book you will understand different types of electronic circuits, how they work, and how they fit together to create modern electronic equipment, enabling you to apply, use, select, operate and discuss common electronic products and systems. And all this is explained using basic functional building blocks rather than det...
The past decade has witnessed dramatic growth in the diversity and complexity of device applications where vacuum is required to support either high voltages or high electric fields. This is particularly true in thespace industry, specifically for the development of space-based pulse power systems. This book presents an overview of the technological advances that have occurred since the publication of the Editors earlier book High Voltage Vacuum Insulation: The Physical Basis. In this latest b...
Complete PCB Design Using Orcad Capture and PCB Editor
by Higham and Kraig Mitzner
Introduces new users to Orcad Capture and the Orcad Layout SW packages. It is also very useful for first time PCB layout customers as it goes into some of the reasons behind details such as spacing requirements, how library part dimensions are determined and how PCBs are physically constucted.
Wavelets and their Applications
The last 15 years have seen an explosion of interest in wavelets with applications in fields such as image compression, turbulence, human vision, radar and earthquake prediction. Wavelets represent an area that combines signal in image processing, mathematics, physics and electrical engineering. As such, this title is intended for the wide audience that is interested in mastering the basic techniques in this subject area, such as decomposition and compression.
The experimental and theoretical aspects of solid-state physics are treated with equal emphasis in this book, which is designed for undergraduate physics courses. In addition to the basic principles, particular attention is devoted to the subjects of superconductivity, magnetism and semiconductor physics. A feature of the book is the treatment of modern experimental techniques in a series of self-contained panels. There are relevant exercises for each chapter of the book.

Optical Fiber Sensors (Springer Proceedings in Physics, #44)
This conference is now the sixth of the Optical Fiber Sensors (OFS) series, the first having been launched in London in 1983. Progress over the last six years has been rapid and the number of laboratories working in the field has grown significantly. In addition, the number of commercially available sensors is growing, although, as usual, not as rapidly as the wilder optimists originally predicted. The subject is now maturing significantly, yet this volume shows that there is still no shortage o...
A semiconductor interface is the contact between the semiconductor itself and a metal. The interface is a site of change, and it is imperative to ensure that the semiconducting material is sealed at this point to maintain its reliability. This book examines various aspects of interfaces, showing how they can affect microstructures and devices such as infrared photodetectors (as used in nightsights) and blue diode lasers. It presents various techniques for examining different types of semiconduct...
