Download or read book Critical Interfacial Issues in Thin Film Optoelectronic and Energy Conversion Devices written by David S. Ginley and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-06-05 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, first published in 2004, covers a wide range of issues regarding interfaces in optoelectronic devices. Key is that in many emerging device structures a new level of control is needed to ensure the quality and nature of the interface. In addition, new device structures are emerging that combine unique types of materials where the interfacial science is new. Thus, the interfaces between electroactive polymers and inorganic semiconductors or oxides are just beginning to be understood. The papers in this book represent a snapshot of current in this critical area of interfacial science. The need to integrate organic, inorganic and nanostructured materials on varying length scales represents a significant challenge for the future and will be a key area of materials science. Topics include: interfaces with organic materials; interfaces with semiconductor materials; interfaces with transparent conducting oxides; and interfaces with novel optoelectronic materials.

Download or read book Thermoelectric Materials 2003 Volume 793 written by G. S. Nolas and published by . This book was released on 2004-03-17 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The measure of a thermoelectric material is given by the material's figure of merit. For over three decades the best thermoelectric materials had a ZT = 1. Recently, however, there are reports of new methods of materials synthesis that result in improvements beyond this performance. In addition, rapid characterization, as well as faster theoretical modeling of thermoelectric materials, has resulted in a more rapid evaluation of new materials. This book offers a look at these results and provides a benchmark for the current state in the field of thermoelectric materials research and development. The focus is on new and innovative directions that will lead to the next generation thermoelectric materials for small-scale refrigeration and power generation applications. The book emphasizes the multidisciplinary nature of the research needed to advance the science and technology of the field. Both theoretical and experimental studies are featured. Topics include: low-dimensional systems and nanocomposites; devices; oxides; skutterudites; complex bulk materials and measurements; novel approaches; and thermoelectric materials and technology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work contains experimental, theoretical, and modeling research papers from a December 2003 symposium on the mechanical behavior of thin films, touching on topics in stress evolution, modeling stresses and film instability, deformation and adhesion, film fracture and fatigue, processing and structure, indentation testing, mechanical properties, properties and performance, and multilayers and nanolaminates. Some specific topics include fracture patterns in thin films and multilayers, thin film herringbone buckling patterns, the effect of oxygen on adhesion of thin copper films to silicon nitride, and the effects of stress amplitude on the fatigue of polysilicon.

Download or read book Quasicrystals 2003 Volume 805 written by E. Belin-Ferre and published by Materials Research Society. This book was released on 2004-03-18 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty years after the discovery of a quasicrystalline compound, the field of quasicrystals still raises interest and is continuously evolving. Quasicrystals display properties different from conventional crystals with small unit cells and present interesting potential for industrial purposes. This book offers an updated look into the field of quasicrystalline research. For example, a report on electrodeposited Al-Cu-Fe quasicrystals shows great promise for industry. It is also demonstrated that when Al-Cu-Fe quasicrystals are used as catalysts, in particular at high temperatures, such quasicrystals outperform conventional industrial catalysts. A new class of quasicrystal, based on a novel type of local order differing from previously observed Mackay- and Bergman-type quasicrystals, is featured. A detailed description of layer-by-layer growth of a Cu film on a quasicrystalline surface is also provided. Additional topics include: synthesis and structure; transport properties; electronic properties; mechanical properties; quasicrystals from metallic glasses; surfaces and coatings; and applications and hydrogen storage.

Book excerpt: Actinides are an important, if sometimes unwanted, part of highly technological societies. Actinides pose an extreme scientific challenge to the materials research community. Their complex electronic structure results in many abnormal properties that even today are not well understood.
