The Effect of Hydrogen and Hydrides on the Integrity of Zirconium Alloy Components

Manfred P. Puls

By drawing together the current theoretical and experimental understanding of the phenomena of delayed hydride cracking (DHC) in zirconium alloys, The Effect of Hydrogen and Hydrides on the Integrity of Zirconium Alloy Components: Delayed Hydride Cracking provides a...

Nanoalloys

Damien Alloyeau , Christine Mottet , Christian Ricolleau

Bimetallic nanoparticles, also called nanoalloys, are at the heart of nanoscience because of their ability to tune together composition and size for specific purposes. By approaching both their physical and chemical properties, Nanoalloys: Synthesis, Structure &...

Analytical Imaging Techniques for Soft Matter Characterization

Nadejda B. Matsko , Vikas Mittal

The book aims to describe the microscopic characterization of the soft matter in the light of new advances acquired in the science of microscopy techniques like AFM; SEM; TEM etc. It does not focus on the traditional information on the microscopy methods as well as...

Phase Interaction in the Metal - Oxide Melts - Gas -System

Collectif

This monograph describes mathematical models that enable prediction of phase compositions for various technological processes, as developed on the base of a complex physico-chemical analysis of reaction. It studies thermodynamics and kinetics of specific stages of...

Nanocoatings

Mahmood Aliofkhazraei

Size effect in structures has been taken into consideration over the last years. In comparison with coatings with micrometer-ranged thickness, nanostructured coatings usually enjoy better and appropriate properties, such as strength and resistance. These coatings enjoy...

Supplementary Cementing Materials

Mohammad Iqbal Khan , Rafat Siddique

Semiconductor-On-Insulator Materials for Nanoelectronics Applications

Collectif

"Semiconductor-On-Insulator Materials for NanoElectronics Applications” is devoted to the fast evolving field of modern nanoelectronics, and more particularly to the physics and technology of nanoelectronic devices built on semiconductor-on-insulator (SemOI) systems....

Transport in Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Structures

Hamid Bentarzi

This book focuses on the importance of mobile ions presented in oxide structures, what significantly affects the metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) properties. The reading starts with the definition of the MOS structure, its various aspects and different types of charges...

Metallic Micro and Nano Materials

Masumi Saka

This book focuses on the metallic Nano- and Micro-materials (NMMs) fabricated by physical techniques such as atomic diffusion. A new technology for fabricating NMMs by atomic diffusion is presented. Two kinds of atomic diffusion are treated; one is a phenomenon...

Recent Advances in the Processing of Wood-Plastic Composites

Jin Kuk Kim , Kaushik Pal

Wood-plastic composite (WPC) is a non-recyclable composite material lumber or timber made of recycled plastic and wood wastes which has become one of the most dynamic sectors of the plastics industry in this decade. It is used in numerous applications, such as, outdoor...
