  • Author : Herwig Schopper
  • Publisher : Springer Science & Business Media
  • Release : 2009-09-14
  • ISBN : 3540878653
  • Pages : 5078 pages

Download or read book Neutron Resonance Parameters written by Herwig Schopper and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-09-14 with total page 5078 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parameters of neutron resonances are finding increasing interest, not only for scientific problems like the understanding of astrophysical processes but even more so for applications. For the construction and the safety of conventional nuclear reactors such data are essential and for new developments like the thorium-uranium cycle or for nuclear waste transmutation they are indispensible. Since the last publication of neutron resonance parameters at Landolt-Börnstein in 2004, the quality and precision of the data has been considerably improved, partly by the operation of new neutron spectrometers, e.g., the CERN time-of-flight facility recently put into operation and also by the use of new carefully designed neutron capture detectors. Volume I/24 contains neutron resonance parameters for the nuclear levels of 356 nuclei with Z ranging from 1 to 98 compiled by two eminent experts in the field. Again a considerable effort was made in comparing data from different sources in order to solve some previous discrepancies and establish 'best values', one of the main characteristics of Landoldt- Börnstein publications. In order to compare the data from different sources a comparison of the various experimental installations has been given. In view of the large amount of data the parameters for only the most important resonances are given in the printed version. However, the data for all resonances are available online at www.springerlink.com (DOI: 10.1007/978-3-540-87866-7). Neutron resonance parameters of many nuclei were previously published by Landolt-Börnstein in Volumes I/16B and I/16C.

Book Static Dielectric Constants of Pure Liquids and Binary Liquid Mixtures

Download or read book Static Dielectric Constants of Pure Liquids and Binary Liquid Mixtures written by Christian Wohlfarth and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-04-25 with total page 3382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1 Introduction Data extract from Landolt-Börnstein IV/17: Static Dielectric Constants of Pure Liquids and Binary Liquid Mixtures 1. 1 Selection of data This supplement updates Landolt-Börnstein's New Series Group IV (Physical Chemistry) Volume 6, Static Dielectric Constants of Pure Liquids and Binary Liquid Mixtures, published in the year 1991 [1991WOH1]. The update provides experimental data published in the years 1991 to 2006. The ?nal date for including data was December, 31st, 2006. Specialization and selection of data for this new update follows the intentions of the original volume. The focus is on non-electrolyte systems, and only data for pure liquids and binary liquid mixtures at normal pr- sure (or in some single cases at the saturation vapor pressure) were taken into account for this volume. No data at higher pressures were collected, no data for the gaseous state, and no data for dielectric relaxation processes at higher frequencies have been included. For mixtures, this data collection is restricted to binary liquid mixtures, i. e. no ternary systems and also no solutions of any solids, salts, electrolytes, polymers are included here. At least, also molten metals and metallic alloys, molten salts, molten glasses and other hi- temperature melts were not taken into account. As the amount of data collected between 1991 and 2006 exceeds the available space for printing by far, the volume has an electronic version containing additional data which is available on www. landolt-boernstein.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vols. III/17a-i and III/22a, b (supplement) on semiconductor physics and technology have been published earlier, the latter covering new data on the technologically important group IV elements and III-V, II-VI and I-VII compounds only.

Enclosed to each subvolume, a CD-ROM contains a complete, revised and update edition of all relevant data. For each individual substance the information is presented in userfriendly documents, containing data, figures and references. Easy access to the documents is provided via substance and property keywords, listings and full text retrieval.

Subvolume B is in preparation.

Book Atomic Defects in Metals   Atomare Fehlstellen in Metallen

Download or read book Atomic Defects in Metals Atomare Fehlstellen in Metallen written by H. Ullmaier and published by Springer. This book was released on 1991-09-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Atomic or point defects are disturbances of the periodicity of the crystal lattice extending over only a few atomic distances. Many physical and mechanical properties of solids are sensitive to their presence. Furthermore other defects which are crucial to material behaviour are influenced by their interaction with atomic defects. A detailed knowledge of production mechanisms and properties of point defects is therefore essential for assessing and for understanding the atomistic as well as the macroscopic behaviour of materials. As a result of the use of new research methods in recent years, such information is now available for almost all pure metals, for many dilute alloys and for some concentrated alloys. However, a critical and comprehensive collection of these data has so far been missing. The aim of the present volume is to close this gap by sifting, evaluating and compiling data on vacancies and self-interstitial atoms in solid metals. A chapter on the element helium is included because of the exeptional position of He as an "alloying" element and its role in radiation damage phenomena.

Book Diffusion in Solid Metals and Alloys   Diffusion in festen Metallen und Legierungen

Download or read book Diffusion in Solid Metals and Alloys Diffusion in festen Metallen und Legierungen written by H. Bakker and published by Springer. This book was released on 1990-12-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interest in diffusion in solids is as old as physical metallurgy or materials science. It stems from application-oriented as well as from scientific reasons. First, a knowledge of diffusion is basic to an understanding of many microstructural changes that occur in solid matter at elevated temperatures. For processes like phase transformations, precipitation or dissolution of a second phase, recrystallization, oxidation, creep, annealing etc., solid state diffusion is fundamental and ubiquitous. The second reason for studying diffusion is to learn more about how atoms move in solid matter. Volume III/26 presents for the first time a comprehensive collection of diffusion data for solid metals and alloys. The critical compilation of data has resulted in tables and series of diagrams which show in 13 chapters data for the following properties: Self- and impurity-diffusion in metallic elements, self-diffusion in homogeneous binary alloys, chemical diffusion in binary and ternary alloys, diffusion in amorphous alloys, diffusion of interstitial foreign atoms like hydrogen, carbon, oxygen and nitrogen in metallic elements, mass and pressure dependence of diffusion, diffusion along dislocations, grain and interphase boundary diffusion, and diffusion on surfaces.

Book Semiconductors     Basic Data

    Book Details:
  • Author : Otfried Madelung
  • Publisher : Springer Science & Business Media
  • Release : 2012-12-06
  • ISBN : 3642976751
  • Pages : 327 pages

Download or read book Semiconductors Basic Data written by Otfried Madelung and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The frequent use of well known critical data handbooks like Beilstein, Gmelin and Landolt-Bomstein is impeded by the fact that merely larger libraries - often far away from the scientist's working place - can afford such precious collections. To satisfy an urgent need of many scientists working in the field of semiconductor physics for having at their working place a comprehensive, high quality, but cheap collection of at least the basic data of their field of interest this volume contains the most important data of semiconductors. All data were compiled from information on semiconductors presented on more than 6000 pages in various volumes of the New Series of Landolt-Bomstein. We hope to meet the needs of the community of semiconductor physicists with this volume, forming a bridge between the laboratory and additional information sources in the libraries.
