Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interfacial science has rapidly expanded beyond the original realm of chemistry to include physics, mechanical and chemical engineering, biology, materials science, and other specialized subfields. This book in a series from MRS emphasizes the effects of confinement on the physical and chemical properties of equilibrium and nonequilibrium systems. Of particular interest is the question of how nearby surfaces or ultra-small geometries can force a system to behave in ways significantly different than it behaves in bulk. Theoretical, experimental and computational evidence of the effects of confinement on gaseous, liquid and solid systems is presented. Topics include: probing confined systems; structure and dynamics of liquids at interfaces; nanorheology and tribology; adsorption; diffusion in porous systems and reaction dynamics.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fourth symposium on 'Dynamics in Small Confining Systems, ' held as part of the 1996 MRS Fall Meeting, covered a broad range of topics related to static and dynamic properties of confining systems: probing of confined systems, structure and dynamics of liquids at interfaces, nanorheology and tribology, adsorption, diffusion in pores, and reactions. Participants from various disciplines shared different points of view on the questions of how ultrasmall geometries can force a system to behave in ways significantly different from its behavior in the bulk, how this difference affects molecular properties, and how it is probed. There appears to be a continuing interest in the dynamics and thermodynamics of confined molecular systems. The symposium was an effective way to bring together different disciplines interested in. The contributions in the book reflect the broad range of topics discussed at the meeting, all related to dynamics in small confining systems. The papers appear in the book in the order of their presentation during the symposium.

Download or read book Flat Panel Display Materials III Volume 471 written by Ron Fulks and published by . This book was released on 1997-09-10 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flat-panel displays are rapidly becoming the displays of choice for a variety of information-displaying applications ranging from laptop computers to automobile and cockpit read-out devices. Passive matrix liquid-crystal displays, and more recently, active matrix liquid-crystal displays (AMLCDs) have led the way in the display revolution. In addition, emissive displays based on field emission, electroluminescence, and plasma charge are attracting considerable interest. Ultimately, however, the advancement in flat-panel display applications will be driven by cost and performance advantages which are dependent on the advancement of materials and process technologies used to fabricate the displays. This book focuses on the materials and large-area processes used by the various display technologies, both emissive and nonemissive, including liquid-crystal, electroluminescent, plasma, field-emission, and micromechanical displays. Topics include: AMLCD materials and processes; thin-film transistors for AMLCDs; emissive displays and materials and phosphor materials.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interfacial science has rapidly expanded beyond the original realm of chemistry to include specialized subfields. This book covers an exapnding body of work dealing with the dynamics and thermodynamics of molecular systems in spatial confinement. Participants from various disciplines share their views on how ultrasmall geometries can force a system to behave in ways significantly different than its behavior in bulk, how this difference affects molecular properties, and how it is probed. Investigators are studying phenomena in a broad range of materials, and confinement of liquids is also an important issue. Advances in experiment, theory, and computation have greatly increased our understanding of dynamics in confined systems, but this book proves that there is still much to be learned. Topics include: confined and anomalous dynamics in porous, supramolecular and biological systems; methods to probe dynamics in confinement; microfluidics and hydrodynamics near solid surfaces; friction and structural properties of fluids under shear; dynamic force spectroscopy; and numerical modeling and computational techniques of confined systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nobel Prize of 1986 on Sc- ning Tunneling Microscopy sig- led a new era in imaging. The sc- ning probes emerged as a new i- trument for imaging with a pre- sion suf?cient to delineate single atoms. At ?rst there were two – the Scanning Tunneling Microscope, or STM, and the Atomic Force Mic- scope, or AFM. The STM relies on electrons tunneling between tip and sample whereas the AFM depends on the force acting on the tip when it was placed near the sample. These were quickly followed by the - gneticForceMicroscope,MFM,and the Electrostatic Force Microscope, EFM. The MFM will image a single magnetic bit with features as small as 10nm. With the EFM one can monitor the charge of a single electron. Prof. Paul Hansma at Santa Barbara opened the door even wider when he was able to image biological objects in aqueous environments. At this point the sluice gates were opened and a multitude of different instruments appeared. There are signi?cant differences between the Scanning Probe Microscopes or SPM, and others such as the Scanning Electron Microscope or SEM. The probe microscopes do not require preparation of the sample and they operate in ambient atmosphere, whereas, the SEM must operate in a vacuum environment and the sample must be cross-sectioned to expose the proper surface. However, the SEM can record 3D image and movies, features that are not available with the scanning probes.
