Topology in Condensed Matter

Product Description

This book reports new results in condensed matter physics for which topological methods and ideas are important. It considers, on the one hand, recently discovered systems such as carbon nanocrystals and, on the other hand, new topological methods used to describe more traditional systems such as the Fermi surfaces of normal metals, liquid crystals and quasicrystals. The authors of the book are renowned specialists in their fields and present the results of ongoing research, some of it obtained only very recently and not yet published in monograph form.

Principles of Powder Technology

Product Description
Powder technology is extremely important to a wide range of disciplines and industries including food, pharmaceutical manufacturing, minerals and metals processing, among others. Modeled after a short course designed specifically for graduate engineers working in industry, it presents the fundamental engineering properties of materials–essential knowledge for the design and operation of industrial equipment and processes. Contributors–all experts in their fields–provide comprehensive coverage, with a somewhat academic emphasis on the problems involved in handling massive solids, gases and liquids as industry calls for greater expertise in this field.

Product Description
Major presentation of new developments in materials science and technology

Applications in metals, composites, and polymers

Special emphasis on nanomaterials

98 participants from 16 different countries

Illustrations and tables throughout

Extensive subject index

The International Thermal Conductivity Conference-now in its 27th year- is a major international conference on materials science and technology. Seventy-five outstanding technical papers, from leading materials specialists from around the world, were presented at the conference. Published after the conference, this volume contains the complete edited texts with all tables and figures from the latest conference.

In additional to traditional topics such as thermal insulation, instrumentation and standards, the conference tried to highlight research in carbon nanotubes, nanomaterials, novel thin films, thermoelectric and composites. Thermal expansion measurements using X-ray and neutron diffraction methods were presented for the first. The conference highlighted the fact that conductivity and thermal expansion are playing important roles in advanced material research.

Microstructuring of Glasses

Product Description
As microstructured glass becomes increasingly important for microsystems technology, the main application fields include micro-fluidic systems, micro-analysis systems, sensors, micro-actuators and implants. And, because glass has quite distinct properties from silicon, PMMA and metals, applications exist where only glass devices meet the requirements. The main advantages of glass derive from its amorphous nature, the precondition for its – theoretically – direction-independent geometric structurability. Microstructuring of Glasses deals with the amorphous state, various glass compositions and their properties, the interactions between glasses and the electromagnetic waves used to modify it. Also treated in detail are methods for influencing the geometrical microstructure of glasses by mechanical, chemical, thermal, optical, and electrical treatment, and the methods and equipment required to produce actual microdevices.
