Ion Beam Synthesis and Processing of Advanced Materials:

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Moss, S. C. / Heinig, K-H / Poker, D. B., PUBLISHER: Materials Research Society, The nonequilibrium processes associated with ion-solid interactions offer a great potential to synthesize and modify advanced materials. Recent progress in ion-beam synthesis and processing has allowed the development of advanced materials with properties designed and tailored specifically for their applications. The progress is assisted by an improved understanding of basic physics and chemistry. The design and interpretation of experimental work is supported by modeling and predictive simulations, both from the atomistic and the nonequilibrium thermodynamics viewpoints. This volume focuses on those properties of advanced materials that are uniquely suited to modification and improvement by ion beans, for example, electrical, optical, magnetic and structural properties, surface hardness, and nanofabrication.

Biomedical Materials Drug Delivery, Implants, and Tissue

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Neenan, Thomas / Valentini, Robert F. / Marcolongo, Michele, PUBLISHER: Materials Research Society, The continual growth and increasing sophistication of biomaterials industries has been driven in large part by advances in the basic sciences of the materials involved. Indeed, advances in understanding biological systems at the molecular level have quickly been exploited by materials scientists to develop more sophisticated approaches to therapeutics and diagnostics. The interdisciplinarity and breadth of the biomaterials field necessitates the close cooperation of scientists in many different fields, including materials science, chemistry, biology, engineering and medicine. This volume brings together researchers in many of these converging fields to report on recent advances and to stimulate further discussion and research in these vital areas of discovery and development.

Materials Production in Open and Distance Learning

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lockwood, Fred, PUBLISHER: Paul Chapman Publishing, The process of materials production in open and distance learning is seen both as a daunting prospect and as an exciting opportunity. This book is intended to dispel some of the apprehension and yet temper some of the enthusiasm. The chapters are grouped into three accepted stages of materials production - planning, production and presentation - with each chapter having an underlying theme: the desire to produce materials of the highest academic and technical quality that are also the most effective teaching materials for its learners. The authors, many with national and international reputations, focus on those facets of open and distance learning which reflect current thinking, research and practice. This book will provide educators and trainers with insight into materials production and with an essential foundation upon which to build their own work.

Physics of Materials

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Quere, Yves / Quere, Y. / Quere, Quere, PUBLISHER: CRC Press, Few areas of science are as interdisciplinary as materials science. Chemistry, physics, mechanical engineering, and mathematics each play a part within it. The role of physics is to describe the objects, effects and phenomena at different scales (micro-, meso-, and macroscopic) as precisely as possible. Physics of Materials addresses this description at the elementary level. Based on an undergraduate level course taught at the Ecole Polytechnique, France, the main emphasis is on the conduction related phenomena (electronic properties) and the plastic behavior (ionic properties) of materials, such as metals and alloys, semiconductors, and ceramics. It assumes a basic grounding in statistical physics, quantum mechanics and elasticity but does not require prior knowledge of solid-state physics, to which it will serve as a useful introduction. The presentation of the course is followed by several examination problems, with solutions, which cover various specific applications of the general concepts and which will enable readers to test their understanding of these concepts.

Design and Control of Structure of Advanced Carbon Materials

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Rand, Brian / Appleyard, Stephen P. / Yardim, M. Ferhat, PUBLISHER: Springer, The review of carbon materials here presented regards them as forming a continuous spectrum, varying in crystallinity and nano?, micro? and macro?texture.

Processing routes are described to see how they might be varied, modified or invented to meet he needs for new applications. The following key questions are debated: What is intrinsically possible with carbon materials? How do we convert what is intrinsically possible into an engineering product that enhances our quality of life? How do we design and produce materials to satisfy the visions of the engineer?

Kinetics of Materials

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Balluffi, Robert W. / Allen, Samuel M. / Carter, W. Craig, PUBLISHER: Wiley-Interscience, A classroom-tested textbook providing a fundamental understanding of basic kinetic processes in materials This textbook, reflecting the hands-on teaching experience of its three authors, evolved from Massachusetts Institute of Technology's first-year graduate curriculum in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. It discusses key topics collectively representing the basic kinetic processes that cause changes in the size, shape, composition, and atomistic structure of materials. Readers gain a deeper understanding of these kinetic processes and of the properties and applications of materials. Topics are introduced in a logical order, enabling students to develop a solid foundation before advancing to more sophisticated topics. Kinetics of Materials begins with diffusion, offering a description of the elementary manner in which atoms and molecules move around in solids and liquids. Next, the more complex motion of dislocations and interfaces is addressed. Finally, still more complex kinetic phenomena, such as morphological evolution and phase transformations, are treated. Throughout the textbook, readers are instilled with an appreciation of the subject's analytic foundations and, in many cases, the approximations commonly used in the field. The authors offer many extensive derivations of important results to help illuminate their origins. While the principal focus is on kinetic phenomena in crystalline materials, select phenomena in noncrystalline materials are also discussed. In many cases, the principles involved apply to all materials. Exercises with accompanying solutions are provided throughout Kinetics of Materials, enabling readers to put their newfound knowledge into practice. In addition, bibliographies are offered with each chapter, helping readers to investigate specialized topics in greater detail. Several appendices presenting important background material are also included. With its unique range of topics, progressive structure, and extensive exercises, this classroom-tested textbook provides an enriching learning experience for first-year graduate students.

Polycrystalline Metal and Magnetic Thin Films : Volume

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Clemens, B. M. / Gignac, L. / MacLaren, J. M., PUBLISHER: Materials Research Society, The unprecedented growth in the semiconductor, electronics, and storage industries is the result of continued miniaturization of circuit devices, increases in chip functionality, and increased storage capacity and performance, along with a decrease in per-function cost. Hardware shrinkage has taken place both laterally and vertically, leading to similar decreases in the dimensions of interconnection wires, contact metallization, and magnetic storage footprints. The increasingly important role of surfaces, interfaces, defects, and impurities has raised serious materials questions about how to control the properties of polycrystalline thin films used in applications requiring tight performance tolerances. This is especially true as the dimensions of these films shrink to levels where 100 or less atomic layers are routinely being used to achieve critical materials properties (contact resistance, diffusion barriers, magnetic moments, etc.). The understanding of poly-crystalline film structures during growth and the evolution of various film properties with time and temperature is critical to the successful design and development of smaller devices. This volume focuses on the directions taken to understand and control the properties of polycrystalline materials.
