This proceedings feature lectures and contributions identifying and exploring major new trends in contemporary materials science, in particular electronic and optoelectronic materials.
The purpose of this book is to offer the high-Tc community a comprehensive, state-of-the-art review on bulk processing with the hope that the book would serve in part as an updated review for expert scientists and in part as a reference/text book on processing for young scientists/graduate students and those who wish to keep track of advances and technological trends in HTSC.
This review volume provides the most up-to-date and authoritative description of research on icosahedral solids, which has advanced rapidly since the discovery of these unique materials in 1984.
This book provides a comprehensive treatment of the two fundamental aspects of a solid that determine its physical properties: lattice structure and atomic vibrations (phonons).
While a great effort has been made to discover new high temperature superconductors, a large-scale, parallel effort has been made to determine the fundamental properties of these fascinating new materials.
The first part of these proceedings contains the invited lectures which aim to unify and summarize briefly the systematic knowledge and latest developments in the entire spectrum of high Tc superconductivity, including the phenomenological and microscopic theory on HTS, crystal structures and defects, the fabrication of high Tc superconductors, physical properties of HTSC, tunneling junctions and electronics of HTSC, etc.
Novel phenomena in submicron semiconductor devices and small Josephson junctions emphasize the need to understand quantum mechanical coherence and tunneling in mesoscopic and macroscopic systems.
The proceedings of this workshop contains 5 important papers by S A Edwards on the Edwards Model and includes discussions on recent theoretical developments in polymer physics.
This volume will focus on the theory and experiments leading to quantitative understanding of the magnetic field and temperature dependence of critical current densities in high-temperature superconductors.
This volume consists of nine invited talks on the main subject of ceramic superconductors and other topics on organic superconductors and tunneling microscopy.
This book gives an overview of one of the most challenging subject of the 90s: The physical and chemical properties of fullerenes and doped fullerenes - one year after the discovery of the high Tc superconductivity in alkali-metal doped C60.
The aim of this volume is to underline common aspects of dynamical properties of surfaces and adsorbates which can sustain energy transfer and to assess the role and importance of specific energy and charge transfer mechanisms in constituting the properties of surface and adsorbate electronic, vibronic, photoabsorption and similar spectra, the dynamics of adsorption/desorption and trapping processes, surface scattering phenomena involving electrons, ions or neutral particles etc.
The Salamfest was held to honor Prof Abdus Salam whose scientific contribution to the development and dissemination of physics has deeply influenced the course of scientific advancement.
The phenomenon of hopping, in which a particle executes a series of jumps between discrete states, has a fundamental role in a wide range of solid state transport phenomena.
The aim of this interdisciplinary conference was to bring together experts in quantum field theory and condensed matter physics to survey the latest exciting developments in this border-line field, such as the Chern-Simons field theory and quantum hall effect, anyon superconductivity, Yang-Baxter equations and quantum groups, conformal field theory and multi-channel kondo effect, matrix models and quantum gravity, etc.
This volume covers the most recent progress and development in the physical mechanisms, materials technology, properties and applications of electrorheological (ER) fluids.
This book describes the history and future views of high conductivity solid ionic conductors, ionic transport theories in solids, relations between structures and ionic transport in solid ionic and ionic electronic mixed conductors.
