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.

This book was released on 1998-07-17 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focuses on the rapidly developing field of sensor technology for process monitoring and control during the fabrication of advanced materials and structures. Of high interest among the 39 papers are sensor-driven, closed-loop control of the fabrication process and product-state monitoring. Among the processes considered are several forms of vapor deposition, molecular beam epitaxy, rapid thermal processing, reactive-ion and plasma etching, electron beam evaporation, and sputtering. Monitoring variable such as temperature, composition, and thickness are described for a range of materials including electronic and optical thin-films, particles, and nanostructures.

Download or read book Materials for Optical Limiting II Volume 479 written by Richard Lee Sutherland and published by . This book was released on 1997-12-30 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The proliferation of lasers and systems employing lasers has brought with it the potential for adverse effects from these bright, coherent light sources. This includes the possibility of damage from pulsed lasers, as well as temporary blinding by continuous-waver lasers. With nearly every wavelength possible being emitted by these sources, there exists a need to develop optical limiters and tunable filters which can suppress undesired radiation of any wavelength. This book addresses a number of materials and devices which have the potential for meeting the challenge. The proceedings is divided into five parts. Parts I and II cover research in organic and inorganic materials primarily based on nonlinear absorption or phase transitions for optical limiting of pulsed lasers. Part III includes photo-refractive materials and liquid crystals which find primary applications in dynamic filters. Part IV covers various aspects of device and material characterization, including nonlinear beam propagation effects. Theoretical modelling of materials properties is the subject of Part V.

This book was released on 1998-07 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presents 57 contributions from the fall 1997 symposium. Some of the most important conclusions to emerge from the papers are: Si-based visible and infrared light provide competing and complementary methods to overcome poor performance of Si as a light emitter; the silicon-on- insulator Si/SiO2/Si systems are ideal for highly confined waveguides and microphotonics components and for the fabrication of quantum wells and resonant tunneling structures; efficient integrated modulators and optically pumped amplifiers hold promise for Si-compatible optoelectronics; SiGe quantum wells, Ge films on buffered Si, and SnGe-alloys-upon-Si could be used for efficient near infrared light detection, once dark current problems are solved; and finally, new monolithic approaches to the engineering of the optical approaches of Si are allowing new applications and market space for low-cost Si-compatible integrated optoelectronics and microphotonics.

Download or read book Specimen Preparation for Transmission Electron Microscopy of Materials IV written by Ron M. Anderson and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Successful transmission electron microscopy (TEM) experimentation depends on many things, one being specimen preparation. Whereas TEM samples of bulk metallic or ceramic materials can be prepared in a straightforward manner, the need to examine nonbulk and/or other classes of materials creates a need for more specialized preparation methods. This book from MRS, the fourth in a successful series, pioneers novel methods or ways of characterizing the specimen preparation process. Contributions to the book are tutorial in nature, and therefore somewhat longer than usual. Papers cover both general and materials-specific specimen preparation methods. Metallic, polymer, plastic, semiconducting, ceramic and magnetic materials as found in bulk, thin-film, dispersed and powdered forms are discussed.

Download or read book Thermoelectric Materials written by Terry M. Tritt and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thermoelectric materials are utilized in a wide variety of applications related to solid-state refrigeration or small-scale power generation. More specifically, these applications range from beverage coolers to power generation for deep-space probes such as the Voyager missions. Over the past several years, however, research in the field of thermoelectric materials has been undergoing a rapid rebirth. The enhanced interest in better thermoelectric materials has been driven by the need for much higher performance and new temperature regimes in thermoelectric devices. The focus of this volume is embodied in the title, New Directions and Approaches. The volume emphasizes the multidisciplinary nature of the research needed to advance the science and technology. Theoretical studies in materials design, which provide guidance to the experimentalist, are reviewed. Experimental efforts are also featured and include new capabilities in solid-state synthesis, thin-film and superlattice development, and new developments in property measurement of which thermal conductivity will play a central role. New ideas in device design are also discussed.
