DANIEL CHATEIGNER ENSICAEN, France
✤✤ This title starts with some basic notions concerning diffraction by polycrystals and some of the most common combined analysis instrumental set-ups are detailed ✤✤ The book deals with automatic phase indexing, a necessary step to solve a structure abinitio. Since its effect prevails on real samples where textures are often stabilized, quantitative texture analysis is also detailed ✤✤ Also discussed are microstructures of the powder diffraction profiles; quantitative phase analysis from the Rietveld analysis; residual stress analysis for isotropic and anisotropic materials; specular x-ray reflectivity and the various associated models ✤✤ Finally, the book introduces the combined analysis concept, showing all the dilemmas that appear when one looks at only one part of the analyses. READERSHIP: Chemical engineers, electrical engineers, mechanical engineers

Innovative Materials, Modeling and Characterization
FRANCIS BALESTRA INP-Minatec, France
✤✤ In the field of new materials, this text covers three areas that will provide a dramatic impact on the approaches to future CMOS - global and local, strained and alternative materials for high speed channels on bulk substrate and insulator, very low access resistance and various high dielectric constant gate stacks for power scaling READERSHIP: Those studying engineering or machining at both an undergraduate and postgraduate level, also serves as a useful reference guide for academics and engineers involved in these areas and related industries

Integrated Bio-Microsystems KRZYSZTOF INIEWSKI Redlen Technologies Inc., USA
✤✤ The only book on the market that covers bio-microsystems from integration point of view ✤✤ Coverage includes integrated devices and many other emerging device structures needed in future micro/ nanotechnologies ✤✤ Written by a mixture of top industrial experts and key academic professors. Practical enough to understand how these technologies work, but not a product manual. Scientific enough but not pure academic theory from the ivory tower ✤✤ Exploits potential behind new interfaces (to biology, to microfludics, to MEMs, to photonics) that will carry circuit performance beyond standard CMOS chip microelectronics READERSHIP: Electrical, mechanical, material science and micro/nano engineers, graduate students
