This book was released on 1998-08-14 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 43 papers describe new techniques for characterizing the location and size of cracks, the extent of water absorption in adhesives and other polymers, neutron-induced losses of fracture toughness in reactor steels, and the weathering of concrete. They also present applications to structures that for economic reasons are being used well past their design lives. Special emphasis is given to the structural health of concrete, defects in high- strength aircraft materials, and steels in nuclear reactors. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 31 papers, about half of the symposium's presentations, were selected to provide a representative sampling of the present status of materials used in vacuum microelectronics. They range across all aspects of electron field emission from theory and physical mechanisms to device structure, but many focus on the fabrication, characterization, and modeling of electron emissive materials. The sections cover field-emitter arrays and applications, carbon and wide-bandgap cathodes, and other cathode materials. Reproduced from typescripts.

This book was released on 1998-11-09 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty papers from the December 1997 symposium which covered the application of electrical measurements for the detection of microstructural features at all length scales. In addition to the topics covered in the first symposium--dc and ad resistivity measurements, impedance/admittance analysis, multiplane analysis and various other methods such as electron energy loss spectroscopy, ellipsometry, and capacitance voltage measurements--there are several papers which combine electrical measurements with STM, AFM, NSOM and electroluminescence techniques so that more localized information may be obtainable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is on recent experimental and theoretical progress in the rapidly growing field of III-V nitrides. Issues related to crystal growth (bulk and thin films), structure and microstructure, formation of defects, doping, alloying, formation of heterostructures, determination of physical properties and device fabrication and evaluation are addressed. Papers show much progress in the growth and understanding of III-V nitrides and in the production of optoelectronic devices based on these materials. Most exciting is the fact that light-emitting diodes and laser diodes have now reached amazing levels of performance which forecasts a revolution in lighting, optical storage, printing, and display technologies. Topics include: crystal growth- bulk growth, early stages of epitaxy; crystal growth- MOCVD; growth techniques - MBE and HVPE; novel substrates and growth techniques; structural properties; electronic properties; luminescence and recombination; characterization, elemental and stress analysis; physical modelling; device processing, implantation, annealing; device characterization, contacts, degradation; and injection laser diodes and applications.
