The devices described in "Advanced MOS-Gated Thyristor Concepts" are utilized in microelectronics production equipment, in power transmission equipment, and for very high power motor control in electric trains, steel-mills, etc. Advanced concepts that enable improving the performance of power thyristors are discussed here, along with devices with blocking voltage capabilities of 5,000-V, 10,000-V and 15,000-V. Throughout the book, analytical models are generated to allow a simple analysis of the...

Festkörperphysik für Naturwissenschaftler und Ingenieure
by Gerhard Franz
Die hier vorgelegte zweibändige Abhandlung über Quantenphysik für Physiker und Ingenieure richtet sich an Studierende der Ingenieurswissenschaften und der Physik. Dieser zweite, der Festkörperphysik gewidmeten, Band beginnt mit der Betrachtung der einzelnen Festkörperklassen und weitet den Bogen mit der thermischen Energie von Isolatoren. Der Schwerpunkt liegt jedoch auf Metallen und Halbleitern, wobei optische, magnetische und elektrische Eigenschaften im Brennpunkt stehen; diese besonders ausf...
This interdisciplinary text presents the underlying chemistry, physics, and materials science that explain the synthesis, preparation, characterization, and application of nanomaterials. It assumes some background in chemistry and physics common to all undergraduate engineering and physical science students in their second year of college. While the book tends to emphasize physical aspects of materials, there is some coverage of the interface of materials with the life sciences. In all cases, th...

Das Buch enthalt Ubungsaufgaben und ist auch zum Selbststudium geeignet. Historische Anmerkungen lockern den Text auf und illustrieren die Begriffe von Temperatur, Energie und Entropie, indem sie deren schwierige Entstehung nachvollziehen. Unter sorgfaltiger Herleitung der thermodyn...
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...
In-situ Studies with Photons, Neutrons and Electrons Scattering II
This book provides an insight into current research topics, focusing special attention exactly on welding issues. The presented research work demonstrates that application of synchrotron and neutron radiation in combination with other techniques enables the basic understanding of material-related processes to be extended appreciably. It also shows ways of how to improve new materials and their use in industry. Following on from the 1st workshop in 2009 at BAM Berlin, a 2nd workshop dealing with...
In the past ?ve decades considerable attention has been devoted to comp- ite materials. A number of expressions have been suggested by which mac- scopic properties can be predicted when the properties, geometry, and volume concentrations of the constituent components are known. Many expressions are purely empirical or semi-theoretical. Others, however, are theoretically well founded such as the exact results from the following classical boundary studies: Bounds for the elastic moduli of composit...
Growth and Properties of Ultrathin Epitaxial Layers (Chemical Physics of Solid Surfaces)
by D A King, Author Unknown, and Unknown Author
"Nonequilibrium Carrier Dynamics in Semiconductors" is a well-established, specialist conference, held every two years, covering a range of topics of current interest to R&D in semiconductor physics/materials, optoelectronics, nanotechnology, quantum information processing. Papers accepted for publication are selected and peer-reviewed by members of the Program Committee during the conference to ensure both rapid and high-quality processing.
Quantum Statistical Theory of Superconductivity (Selected Topics in Superconductivity)
by Shigeji Fujita
At the present moment, after the success of the renormalization group in providing a conceptual framework for studying second-order phase tran- sitions, we have a nearly satisfactory understanding of the statistical me- chanics of classical systems with a non-random Hamiltonian. The situation is completely different if we consider the theory of systems with a random Hamiltonian or of chaotic dynamical systems. The two fields are connected; in fact, in the latter the effects of deterministic chao...
Time-dependent Mechanical Properties of Solid Bodies (Springer Series in Materials Science, v. 91)
by Wolfgang Grafe
The book contains the first physically based and uniform representation of several different phenomena of the time-dependent mechanical properties of glass and metals (steel and Aluminium). It offers a collection of scientifically based formulas for the analysis of the data of stress relaxation, of the background of internal friction, of creep rupture, and of fatigue which is helpful for a better prediction and interpolation of the materials data in practical application. This will help to impro...
Solid State Engineering Physics

This text first deals with the crystal structure of new materials, discussing point defects both qualitatively and quantitatively. Focusing on quantum physics, the next chapter examines the dual nature of particles and the Schrodinger equation. The authors then cover the free electron theory of metals and semiconductors. They also study the details of photoconductors and photovoltaic cells as well as the magnetization factor for various magnetic materials, which offers an understanding of the co...

Giant Magneto-Resistance Devices (Springer Series in Surface Sciences, #40)
by E. Hirota, H. Sakakima, and K. Inomata
This is one of the first application-orientated books on the subject. The main topics are magnetic sensors with high resolutions and magnetic read heads with high sensitivities, required for hard-disk drives with recording densities of several gigabytes. Another important subject is novel magnetic random-access memory (MRAM) with non-volatile non-destructive and radiation-hard characteristics.
1 The content ofthis article is based on a German book version ) which appeared at the end of the year 1986. The author tried to incorporate - as far as possible - new important results published in the last year. But the literature in the field of "convection and inhomogeneities in crystal growth from the melt" has increased so much in the meantime that the reader and the collegues should make allowance for any incompleteness, also in the case that their important contributions have not been ci...
