Although man's environment, from the interstellar dust to the earth beneath his feet, is composed to a large extent of finely divided material, his knowledge of the propert- ies of such materials is surprisingly slight.
The Science and Engineering of Materials, Third Edition, continues the general theme of the earlier editions in providing an understanding of the relationship between structure, processing, and properties of materials.
In 1968, the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) published Special Publication 298 "e;Quantitative Electron Probe Microanalysis,"e; which contained proceedings of a seminar held on the subject at NBS in the summer of 1967.
This book contains papers presented at the International Conference on Organic Superconductivity which was held May 20-24, 1990, at the Stanford Sierra Conference Center, South Lake Tahoe, California.
The author integrates discussions of fractal geometry, surface modeling techniques, and applications to real world problems to provide a comprehensive, accessible overview of the field.
The purpose of this book is to stimulate thinking among corrosion scientists and engineers to examine corrosion mechanisms and corro- sion control from another perspective.
During the past few decades, much research has been reported on the formation of insoluble monomolecular films of lipids and biopolymers (synthetic polymers and proteins) on the surface of water or at the oil-water interface.
The recent discovery of high-temperature superconductivity has resulted in a remarkable growth in the amount of research and the number of researchers working in this exciting field.
During the past decade the theoretical physics community has learned how to evaluate accurately polarizabilities and susceptibilities for many-electron systems such as atoms, solids, and liquids.
Presenting the latest advances in artificial structures, this volume discusses in-depth the structure and electron transport mechanisms of quantum wells, superlattices, quantum wires, and quantum dots.
In response to the demands of contemporary solid material analysis-greater powers of detection, speed, depth, and precision-glow devices are receiving increased attention by specialists.
This volume chronicles the proceedings of the Third Symposium on Particles on Surfaces : Detection, Adhesion and Removal held as a part of the 21st Annual Meeting of the Fine Particle Society in San Diego , California, August 21 - 25 , 1990 .
The past three decades have been a period where useful current and voltage instabilities in solids have progressed from exciting research problems to a wide variety of commercially available devices.
This book originated in the Proceedings of the Second Symposium on Polymeric Liquid Crystals held by the Division of Polymer Chemistry in the framework of the 1983 Fall Meeting of the American Chemical Society.
The aim of this NATO Advanced Study Institute was to bring together scientists and students working in the field of laser matter interactions in order to review and stimulate developmentoffundamental science with ultra-short pulse lasers.
The textbook we offer to the reader is based on a two-term course of lec- tures, "e;Electromagnetic Response of Material Media,"e; that the authors gave for a number of years to the final-year students of the Physics Depart- ment of Moscow University.
Covering both theory and applications, this important work provides a comprehensive introduction to the modern theory of X-ray and electronic spectra of free atoms.
Although exploratory and developmental activity in electron beam testing (EBT) 25 years, it was not had already been in existence in research laboratories for over until the beginning of the 1980s that it was taken up seriously as a technique for integrated circuit (IC) testing.
This volume contains the papers presented at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on "e;Magnetism and Structure in Systems of Reduced Dimension"e;, held at l'Institut d'Etudes Scientifiques de Cargese - U.
The main objective of this book is to systematically describe the basic principles of the most widely used techniques for the analysis of physical, structural, and compositional properties of solids with a spatial resolution of approxi- mately 1 ~m or less.
This proceedings volume, "e;Plastic Deformation of Ceramics,"e; constitutes the papers of an international symposium held at Snowbird, Utah from August 7-12, 1994.
