Download or read book Silicon Carbide 2004 Materials Processing and Devices Volume 815 written by Michael Dudley and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-08-24 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Silicon carbide (SiC) is a wide-bandgap semiconductor that can operate at temperatures well above 300ºC, where silicon cannot perform. In addition, due to a high thermal conductivity equal to copper at room temperature, SiC is an ideal candidate for operation in harsh environments and at high-power levels. Rapid advances in SiC materials and devices have recently resulted in implementation of SiC-based electronic systems, and the impact of these devices is expected to significantly increase in the next several years. This book documents the most recent results on growth of bulk and epitaxial layers, physical and structural properties, process technology, and device development obtained since the 10th International Conference on Silicon Carbide and Related Materials 2003 (ICSCRM2003) held in Lyon, France. Extended defects in silicon carbide are highlighted. The nature of defects induced by forward biasing of bipolar devices, as well as methods to suppress the degradation, are addressed.
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.

Download or read book Hydrogen in Semiconductors written by Norbert H. Nickel and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of hydrogen in solids is of significant importance in modern technology. Often present in large concentrations by various growth techniques, hydrogen affects the structural, electronic, and optical properties of crystals. Isolated hydrogen is often electrically active, causing passivation or charge compensation of defects and impurities. Since the presidential proposal of the Freedom Car, hydrogen in semiconductors takes another twist as a potential source of clean fuel for the future. The study of hydrogen transport, diffusion, and chemical reaction in solids is, therefore, of significant social importance. But as often happens in science, different groups of researchers studying hydrogen in solids do not always speak the same language. For example, few people would consider silicon as a practical fuel storage material due to its weight, but in reality, aluminum hydrides have been seriously considered for such a purpose. The knowledge acquired in the last half century for hydrogen in conventional semiconductors has not been effectively transferred to the study of hydrogen storage in emerging semiconductors such as carbon nanotubes. This volume brings together scientists from various research areas to encourage cross fertilization and wider dissemination of the advances in this important field of study. Highlights include recent developments in the understanding of light-induced metastability in amorphous silicon, hydrogen in zinc oxide as a means of n-type doping, and hydrogen doping of dilute nitrides that modifies the bandgap in some rather surprising ways. Hydrogen interaction with donors and acceptors is a never-ending story that is also featured here. Topics include: hydrogen in elemental semiconductors; hydrogen in oxides; and general properties of hydrogen in semiconductors.

Download or read book Continuous Nanophase and Nanostructured Materials Volume 788 written by Sridhar Komarneni and published by . This book was released on 2004-03-16 with total page 698 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on recent advances in nanostructured and nanophase materials and their applications. Nanostructured materials consist of domains of less than 100nm and include atom clusters and cluster assemblies, one- and two-dimensionally modulated layers and three-dimensional structures. The term 'nanophase' refers to structures comprised of domains or particles of a single material that are typically less than 100nm, whereas 'nanocomposite' refers to a composite of more than one nanophase. Nanoscale materials can be engineered as homogeneous or porous ceramics, metals, metal oxides, semiconductors, organic polymers, or as composite materials containing these components. This book brings together scientists from many disciplines to share and discuss advances in the field. Topics include: nanophase materials; nanocomposite materials; nanoporous materials; nanostructured materials; applications and properties of nanostructured materials; carbon nanotubes; nanostructured thin films and coatings; and theoretical and modeling studies of nanostructured materials.

Download or read book Synthesis Characterization and Properties of Energetic reactive Nanomaterials written by Ronald D. Armstrong and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The advent of nanomaterials has introduced a new dimension in applications of energetic and reactive materials. A fundamental understanding of their synthesis mechanisms, atomic- and molecular-scale structural characteristics, and an evaluation of properties combined with modeling of the limits to those properties are required to realize the full potential of energetic and reactive nanomaterials. Many techniques have been recently developed that make it possible to exploit the benefits of the "nano" structure and design materials with desired energy release rates and energy densities, while they also improve their safety, reliability and load-bearing capability. Advances in modeling and characterization have made it possible to determine mechanisms controlling the thermal, chemical and mechanical behavior of nanomaterials. This volume brings together researchers from around the world to assess fundamental studies on synthesis, characterization of structure, and evaluation of properties of energetic/reactive nanomaterials. Applications such as new propellant formulations, underwater detonation developments, biomedical research, and combustion of nanolayered metal films for cladding materials are featured. Topics include: applications and toxicology; synthesis; characterization; characterization and theory; theory and modeling; and general discussion.
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.
