MATERIALS SCIENCE Introduction to Phase Diagrams for Materials Science and Engineering

by Hiroyasu Saka (Aichi Institute of Technology, Japan)

Phase diagrams are a MUST for materials scientists and engineers (MSEs). However, understanding phase diagrams is a difficult task for most MSEs. The audience of this book are young MSEs who start learning phase diagrams and are supposed to become specialists and those who were trained in fields other than materials science and engineering but are involved in research and/or development of materials after they are employed. In this book the essence of phase diagrams is presented in a user-friendly manner.

Ternary phase diagrams presented in Chapter 4 are far more complex than binary phase diagrams. For this reason, ternary phase diagrams are nowadays less and less taught. However, in ceramics and semiconductors ternary phase diagrams become more and more important. Recent software provides necessary information to handle ternary phase diagrams.

However, needless to say, without fundamental knowledge of ternary phase diagrams it is impossible to understand ternary phase diagrams correctly.

In this book ternary phase diagrams are presented in a completely original way, with many diagrams illustrated in full color.

Readership: Students, researchers and professionals in materials science and engineering.

The basis of lignin (its chemistry, types and properties) is described, as are different approaches to modify it. The features of lignin and its copolymers are explored and aligned with their potential applications. In addition to the carbon materials from lignin, the advanced fabrication approaches to engineer lignin-based micro/nano-structural materials are summarized.

3D Local Structure and Functionality Design of Materials

edited by Hiroshi Daimon (Nara Institute of Science and Technology, Japan), Yuji C Sasaki (The University of Tokyo, Japan) •

Placing the emphasis on local structure analysis, covering the knowledge required for the precise material development

•

Introduce practical examples as well as theory and compactly summarized necessary knowledge to learn in general

Active-site is the region at the central atom’s position where functional activated reactions occur in many materials. Hence, it is important for the present study of material sciences to take into consideration this information of atomic structures in the reaction center of the localized impurities and catalyst and phase boundary and the photosynthetic reaction centers.

However, it is very difficult to determine a three-dimensional atomic structure directly in the center positions of many functional materials.

This book is written for readers to gain the basic knowledge of this “activesite”. It will benefit those who want to know the function and structure of the inorganic, organic and biological materials.

The design and manufacture of miniaturized packages, providing low-loss electrical and/or optical communication, while protecting the semiconductor chips from environmental stresses and internal power cycling, require a carefully balanced selection of packaging materials and processes. Due to the relative fragility of these semiconductor chips, as well as the underlying laminated substrates and the bridging interconnect, selection of the packaging materials and processes is inextricably bound with the mechanical behavior of the intimately packaged multilayer structures, in all phases of development for traditional, as well as emerging, electronic product categories.

It provides a comprehensive coverage of the configurations and techniques, assembly materials and processes, modeling and simulation tools, and experimental characterization and validation techniques for electronic packaging Each of the volumes presents the accumulated wisdom and shared perspectives of leading researchers and practitioners in the packaging of electronic components It will be of great interest to packaging engineers, electronic product development engineers, and product managers, as well as to researchers in the assembly and mechanical behavior of electronic and photonic components and systems Readership: It will be most beneficial to undergraduate and graduate students studying materials, mechanical, electrical, and electronic engineering, with a strong interest in electronic packaging applications.

The book series is comprehensive in that it summarizes all aspects of Organic Spintronics to date. The first two volumes deal with spin injection, spin transport, spin manipulation and spin pumping into organic semiconductors. The main device that is thoroughly discussed here is the organic spin-valve, where spinterface states at the interface between the organic semiconductor and the ferromagnetic (FM) electrode has been the focus of many chapters. An interesting emerging subject is the role of chirality in the organic layer of the device. A relatively new method of achieving spin aligned carriers in organic semiconductors is spin pumping, where magnons in the FM substrate generate spin aligned carriers in the organic layer at the FM/organic interface.

The third volume deals mainly with magnetic field effect in organic devices.

Several spin-mixture processes that lead to magnetic field effect in devices and films are thoroughly discussed, such as hyperfine interaction, direct spin-orbit coupling, indirect spin-orbit coupling via Δg, triplet-triplet annihilation, and thermal spin alignment. The similarity between the magnetic field effect obtained in optoelectronic devices based on organic semiconductors and the novel hybrid organic-inorganic semiconductors is also a subject of intense interest. The fourth volume deals with spin in molecular films and devices. It includes thorough discussion of spin exchange interaction that leads to organic ferromagnets, as well as manifestation of various spin interactions in thin molecular films and devices.

Readership: Advanced graduate students, scientists and researchers in the field of spintronics and related fields.

The World Scientific Reference of Hybrid Materials is a set of 3 volumes, which covers the fascinating area of materials science at the intersection between purely polymeric, organic or inorganic materials. The rapidly developing research on hybrid materials is largely driven by the steadily increasing need of multifunctional materials in various branches of technology. However, much of the research is also driven by the curiosity of the researchers and the long lasting wish to merge the most beneficial properties of the various materials into one. The flexibility of polymers could, for example, be merged with the electronic conductivity of metals or the mechanical resistance of ceramics, which will be of great value for the industries.

This reference covers the areas of synthesis of such hybrid materials, which take benefit from each of the consisting ingredients, and overviews some of the emerging applications based on the materials. Much of the current research is still in its infancy, but hybrid materials are already now considered to be the key enabler for important future developments, for example flexible electronics. With this perspective, this reference aims at giving the general public an overview over the topics of relevance in this field, but also attracting new researchers to this intriguing scientific area.

Readership: Research students and researchers in the field of new materials.

Coupled Diffusion of Impurity Atoms and Point Defects in Silicon Crystals

Lessons from Nanoscience: A Lecture Notes Series - Vol 6

by Oleg Velichko (Belarusian State University of Informatics and Radioelectronics (BSUIR), Belarus) Comprehensive theory describing atomic diffusion in silicon crystals under strong nonequilibrium conditions caused by ion implantation and interaction with surface or interfaces is formulated in this book. A set of generalized equations that describe diffusion of impurity atoms and point defects has the form suitable for numerical solution. Based on this theory, partial diffusion models are constructed, and simulation of many doping processes used in microelectronics is carried out.

A useful tool for researchers, engineers, and advanced students in semiconductor physics, microelectronics, and nanoelectronics, this book gives a deep understanding of the physics of diffusion and demonstrates practical application of the theoretical ideas formulated to find cheaper solutions in the course of manufacturing semiconductor devices and integrated microcircuits.
