This book was released on 2014-06-05 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since nanocrystallites are often formed as a product of devitrification of metallic glasses, and supercooled liquid plays an essential role in bulk glass formation, recent research pertaining to these three states of alloys were brought together for discussion into a single MRS symposium. Bulk glassy and bulk nanocrystalline alloys are important because they demonstrate exclusively good static and dynamic mechanical properties, magnetic properties, and good corrosion and wear resistance. Some of these alloys also exhibit superplasticity, including high-strain-rate flowability. The reports in this book span formation and processing methods of bulk glassy, nanocrystalline alloys; glass- forming ability and thermal stability; devitrification and phase transformations; properties; general physical, mechanical, magnetic, electrical, and corrosion resistance; structure of bulk glasses; supercooled liquid and nanomaterials; and diffusion. Topics include: atomic and electronic structure; glass-forming ability and thermal stability; crystallization and decomposition; quasicrystals; soft magnetic properties; hard magnetism and mechanical and other properties.

This book was released on 2003-07-16 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been a renaissance in glass science brought about by the development of concepts such as fragility index and the energy landscape with megabasins. Research on bulk metallic glasses has been explosive since their advent when MRS offered its first book on the topic. In 2000, a second book broadened the scope to include supercooled liquid, bulk glassy and nanocrystalline states. This book enhances the scope to include glass transition in diverse materials such as water, silicate and polymeric melts. Bringing these threads together in an interdisciplinary manner was fruitful and offers proof that while there is much common ground, gaps between various approaches to the glassy state remain to be bridged. Subjects include: the supercooled liquid; glass formability; structural relaxation and dynamics; structure determination and modeling; processing and applications of bulk metallic glasses; mechanical properties; mechanical properties - composites; crystallization; electronic and magnetic structure and properties; and nanoparticles and nonmetallic glasses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on materials issues related to Cu(In,Ga)(Se,S)2 and CdTe-based polycrystalline thin-film photovoltaic solar cells and related oxides and chalcogenides. Phase equilibrium and thermochemical kinetic aspects of the absorber layer formation of CdTe and Cu(In,Ga)(Se,S)2 are emphasized and several papers on micro-analytical analysis report on detailed structural properties of thin films. The use of flexible plastic or metal foil substrates as an alternative to glass is addressed in terms of solar-cell performance and limitations imposed by the nature of the substrates. Properties of defects and interfaces in CdTe and CIGSS are highlighted using electrical, optical, and micro-analytical tools. While film properties are correlated to device physics, controversy still exists on the detailed operation of both CdTe and CIGSS devices. Topics include: materials and synthesis; thin films on alternate substrates; defects; growth and junction formation; surfaces and interfaces and film and device characterization.

This book was released on 2001-09-20 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mechanical properties of small volumes of materials (such as thin films and patterned structures) can be very different from larger volumes, especially in the area of dislocation behavior. This text contains a selection of 31 papers from the April 2001 symposium devoted to new methods of dislocation modeling. Topics include mechanisms of plastic deformation in heteroepitaxial, multilayered, and polycrystalline thin films; as well as in 3D mesostructures such as epitaxial islands, semiconducting devices, and microcrystallites. The organizers of the symposium had the particular aim of stimulating exchange between experimental work, theoretical modeling, and numerical simulations.
