ion beam synthesis and processing of advanced materials

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.

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.

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. The structure?property relationships are discussed to examine how they can be controlled during different processing operations. 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?

The authors discuss the nature and uses of syntactic parsers and examine the problems and opportunities of parsing algorithms for finite-state, context-free and various context-sensitive grammars. They relate approaches for describing syntax and morphology to formal mechanisms and algorithms, and present well-motivated approaches for augmenting grammars with weights or probabilities.

Membrane Process Design Using Residue Curve Maps [With

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Peters, Mark / Glasser, David / Hildebrandt, Diane, PUBLISHER: John Wiley & Sons, "Design and Synthesis of Membrane Separation Processes" provides a novel method of design and synthesis for membrane separation. While the main focus of the book is given to gas separation and pervaporation membranes, the theory has been developed in such a way that it is "general" and valid for any type of membrane.     The method, which uses a graphical technique, allows one to calculate and visualize the change in composition of the retentate (non-permeate) phase. This graphical approach is based on Membrane Residue Curve Maps. One of the strengths of this approach is that it is exactly analogous to the method of Residue Curve Maps that has proved so successful in distillation system synthesis and design.

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.

Interactive Image Processing for Machine Vision

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Batchelor, Bruce G. / Waltz, Frederick, PUBLISHER: Springer, Machine vision systems offer great potential in a large number of areas of manufacturing industry and are used principally for Automated Visual Inspection and Robot Vision. This publication presents the state of the art in image processing. It discusses techniques which have been developed for designing machines for use in industrial inspection and robot control, putting the emphasis on software and algorithms. A comprehensive set of image processing subroutines, which together form the basic vocabulary for the versatile image processing language IIPL, is presented. This language has proved to be extremely effective, working as a design tool, in solving numerous practical inspection problems. The merging of this language with Prolog provides an even more powerful facility which retains the benefits of human and machine intelligence. The authors bring together the practical experience and the picture material from a leading industrial research laboratory and the mathematical foundations necessary to understand and apply concepts in image processing. Interactive Image Processing is a self-contained reference book that can also be used in graduate level courses in electrical engineering, computer science and physics.
