The theory of surface electronic states is a widely researched topic which underlies all our knowledge of the behaviour of electrons at solid surfaces. It is of paramount importance in understanding the mechanics by which solid-state devices operate and catalytic reactions proceed. Now available in paperback, this book provides the most current and straightforward introduction to the subject. Although the subject is viewed through the `theoretical eye' of a physicist, the topics are treated in a...

Solid state ionics is a multidisciplinary scientific and industrial field dealing with ionic transport phenomena in solids. In a couple of decades, solid state ionics has become one of the largest disciplines closely related to energy technologies, such as batteries, fuel cells, and so on.So far, a large number of scientists and engineers in Asia as well as in Europe and US are engaged in the research in solid state ionics. In the context of such a situation, the Asian Society for Solid State Io...

Breakdown is fascinating to the scientist and frustrating to the engineer! As well as advancing the scientific and engineering understanding of electrical degradation and breakdown in polymers, this book forms a comprehensive and international review of the state-of-the-art. Topics include: water and electrical treeing; charge transport; 'classical' and filamentary thermal, electromechanical, electronic and partial discharge breakdown models; the stochastic nature of breakdown and statistical ch...

This pioneering monograph solely deals with the Magneto Thermoelectric Power (MTP) in Heavily Doped (HD) Quantized Structures. The materials considered range from HD quantum confined nonlinear optical materials to HgTe/CdTe HD superlattices with graded interfaces and HD effective mass superlattices under magnetic quantization. An important concept of the measurement of the band gap in HD optoelectronic materials in the presence of external photo-excitation has been discussed in this perspective....
