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.

Molecular Variability of Fungal Pathogens

Cell Electrophoresis

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bauer, Johann / Bauer, Johann, PUBLISHER: CRC Press, This book presents a summary of the application and instrumentation of cell electrophoresis. The method of making cell purification and characterization possible according to the cellular negative surface charge density is discussed, and ideas for future developments are explained. The negative electrostatic forces at cell surfaces provide information about cell-cell interaction, blood vessel sealing, cytokine actions, cell transformation, ion transport phenomena, and other biological phenomena. Recalculations of the physical principles of cell electrophoresis reveal possibilities for removing disruptive factors caused by electrical current, heat, and sedimentation. The introduction of computer technology, the performance of simultaneous two-parameter measurements, and the application of cell-friendly but current-inert buffer systems render the method more reliable and efficient.

Atomistic Mechanisms in Beam Synthesis and Irradiation:

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Barbour, John Charles / Roorda, S. / Ila, D., PUBLISHER: Materials Research Society, This volume focuses on understanding the atomistic processes that occur in metals, ceramics (including glasses) and polymers that are exposed to energetic beams for the purpose of synthesizing or modifying a material. In particular, emphasis is given to atomistic approaches for modeling and understanding experimental results. The science presented falls into four categories: (1) surface and thin-film microstructures driven by ion-beam processing, including mechanisms for driving preferential orientation in single-crystal and polycrystalline formations; (2) comparisons and contrasts in the mechanisms involved with high energy, ion-beam radiation and high-fluence-rate effects; (3) identification of mechanisms in beam-assisted synthesis of materials; and (4) atomistic modeling to describe improved mechanical and optical properties of coatings and layers treated with ion beams.

Exploring Materials: Creative Design for Everyday Objects

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Alesina, Inna / Lupton, Ellen, PUBLISHER: Princeton Architectural Press, Materials are like words. The richer your design vocabulary, the more distinctive the design solutions you can express. Sketching ideas with a pencil or rendering them with computer software are useful experiences, but there is no substitute for confronting physical forms and materials directly. Exploring Materials is an action-oriented, accessible guide to design thinking that addresses both the 'how' and 'why' of product design. In place of the abstraction of pure forms or the whimsy of virtual objects, it encourages designers to make and test real objects in a studio environment. Best-selling author Ellen Lupton (Thinking with Type) and her colleague Inna Alesina examine materials from several points of view, including traditional uses, experimental uses, techniques and directions for prototyping with everyday objects, and environmental implications. Student exercises and inspiring examples from the world of contemporary product design show readers how to use materials as tools for thinking and making. The book opens with two extensive studies: one for a place for sitting and one for a method for carrying. By considering what is needed instead of what specific product can be made, designers examine the methodology of designing. The core of the book is a visual glossary of thirty-two materials from corrugated cardboard to molded felt to plastic film. It highlights the materials' behaviors and properties which suggest different types of structure, surface, and connection and it shows experimental uses of these materials, demonstrating how designers from around the world have exploited their characteristics in inventive ways. The book concludes with a section on making it real, moving beyond the prototype to create a product that can be manufactured and marketed. Exploring Materials contains everything designers need not only to jump-start their design process, but also to follow a project through from idea to prototype to finished object.
