Nanocrystalline Ceramics (Springer Series in Materials Science, #53)
by Markus Winterer
Nanocrystalline materials are three-dimensional ultrafine, polycrystalline microstructures. They give rise to interesting and useful chemical and physical-size effects. This book describes the development of a method of synthesizing chemical vapor for the production of nanocrystalline ceramic powders. The development of the microstructure during sintering is studied and the influence of the synthesis parameters on the structure and properties of the nanocrystalline ceramics from the atomic to th...
Image Processing of Edge and Surface Defects (Springer Series in Materials Science, #123)
by Roman Louban
The human ability to recognize objects on various backgrounds is amazing. Many times, industrial image processing tried to imitate this ability by its own techniques. This book discusses the recognition of defects on free-form edges and - homogeneous surfaces. My many years of experience has shown that such a task can be solved e?ciently only under particular conditions. Inevitably, the following questions must be answered: How did the defect come about? How and why is a person able to recognize...

Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (Perspectives in Condensed Matter Physics, #6)
The publication entitled "Surface Studies by Scanning Tunneling Mi Rl croscopy" by Binnig, Rohrer, Gerber and Weibel of the IBM Research Lab oratory in Riischlikon in 1982 immediately raised considerable interest in the sur face science community. It was demonstrated in Reference R1 that images from atomic structures of surfaces like individual steps could be obtained simply by scanning the surface with a sharp metal tip, which was kept in a constant distance of approximately 10 A from the sa...
Self-Trapped Excitons (Springer Series in Solid-State Sciences, #105)
by K.S. Song and Richard Tecwyn Williams
In crystals as diverse as sodium chloride, silicon dioxide, solid xenon, pyrene, arsenic triselenide and silver chloride, the fundamental electronic excitation (exciton) is localized within its own lattice distortion field very shortly after its creation. This book discusses the structure of the self-trapped exciton (STE) and its evolution along the path of its return to the ground state or to a defect state of crystal. A comprehensive review of experiments on STEs in a wide range of materials h...
The storage of electric energy depends on the capacity of the associated electrical components. The material's dielectric constant directly governs this capacity. Dielectric constants therefore gain renewed attention with the increasing need of saving, accumulating and delivering energy produced in the most various ways (wind energy, solar energy, feed-back energy etc.). This supplementary volume contains static dielectric constants as a function of temperature, and - for the binary mixtures - a...

Nanoscale Transistors (Springer Series in Synergetics, #325)
by Jing Guo and Mark Lundstrom
To push MOSFETs to their scaling limits and to explore devices that may complement or even replace them at molecular scale, a clear understanding of device physics at nanometer scale is necessary. Nanoscale Transistors provides a description on the recent development of theory, modeling, and simulation of nanotransistors for electrical engineers, physicists, and chemists working on nanoscale devices. Simple physical pictures and semi-analytical models, which were validated by detailed numerical...
Part of a series of textbooks designed for use at undergraduate level, this 2nd edition covers the whole range of solid state physics, including important recent developments, and aims to present the material in a more accessible and simplified manner. A major change to this edition has been to introduce the idea of mobile electron states in solids through the free electron theory of metals, rather than through the formation of energy bands by overlap of atomic states on neighbouring atoms. To t...
Semiconductor Devices: Physics and Technology, Third Edition is an introduction to the physical principles of modern semiconductor devices and their advanced fabrication technology. It begins with a brief historical review of major devices and key technologies and is then divided into three sections: semiconductor material properties, physics of semiconductor devices and processing technology to fabricate these semiconductor devices.
Chemical Change in Deforming Materials. Oxford Monogrpahs Geology and Geophysics.
by Brian Bayly
The monograph is devoted to the investigation of physical processes that govern the phonon transport in bulk and nanoscale single-crystal samples of cubic symmetry. Special emphasis is given to the study of phonon focusing in cubic crystals and its influence on the boundary scattering and lattice thermal conductivity of bulk materials and nanostructures.
Phonons: Theory and Experiments II (Springer Series in Solid-State Sciences, #65)
by Peter Bruesch
The first part of this three-volume treatment, Phonons: Theory and Exper iments I, has been devoted to the basic concepts of the physics of phonons and to a study of models of interatomic forces. The present second volume, Phonons: Theory and Experiments II, contains a thorough study of experi mental techniques and the interpretation of experimental results. In a third volume we shall treat a number of phenomena which are directly related to lattice dynamics. The aim of this treatment is to br...
Advanced Quantum Mechanics: Materials and Photons is a textbook which emphasizes the importance of advanced quantum mechanics for materials science and all experimental techniques which employ photon absorption, emission, or scattering. Important aspects of introductory quantum mechanics are covered in the first seven chapters to make the subject self-contained and accessible for a wide audience. The textbook can therefore be used for advanced undergraduate courses and introductory graduate cour...

It provides an introduction and background to the many properties and applications of quantified semiconductor structures. Papers on surface properties, which are of great importance, occupy half of the volume, as a necessary preamble to the quantified semiconductors structure. The volume opens with a discussion on different aspects of...
Introduction to Solid-State Theory (Springer Series in Solid-State Sciences, #2)
Introduction to Solid-State Theory is a textbook for graduate students of physics and materials science. It also provides the theoretical background needed by physicists doing research in pure solid-state physics and its applications to electrical engineering. The fundamentals of solid-state theory are based on a description by delocalized and localized states and - within the concept of delocalized states - by elementary excitations. The development of solid-state theory within the last ten yea...
