Included in this volume are papers on biaxial and triaxial crystallographic texturing, epitaxial growth on biaxially textured substrates, melt-processing of YBCO, and basic information about HTS materials concerning phase diagrams, measurement of physical properties, characterization, and effects of various defects including grain boundaries on supercurrent transmission. Proceedings of the symposium held at the 104th Annual Meeting of The American Ceramic Society, April 28-May1, 2002 in Missouri; Ceramic Transactions, Volume 140.
Over the years, many successful attempts have been chapters in this part describe the well-known processes made to describe the art and science of crystal growth, such as Czochralski, Kyropoulos, Bridgman, and o- and many review articles, monographs, symposium v- ing zone, and focus speci cally on recent advances in umes, and handbooks have been published to present improving these methodologies such as application of comprehensive reviews of the advances made in this magnetic elds, orientation of the growth axis, intro- eld. These publications are testament to the grow- duction of a pedestal, and shaped growth. They also ing interest in both bulk and thin- lm crystals because cover a wide r...
Readers adore THE HOUSE BETWEEN TIDES 'For any novel, it's a cracker. For a first novel, it's incredible.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'I LOVED IT. So beautifully written, descriptive and atmospheric - you can hear the waves, feel yourself buffeted by the wind and rain. A book to be savoured and one which I am sure I will read again' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'What a pleasure to discover a new author who can really write! The descriptions of place and time and feeling take you right into the experience of the story - it was hard to put down. I am ordering the author's next book straightaway!' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Oh this is such a magical book, I really didn't want it to end. It reminded me of the writings of Susan F...

This volume will provide interdisciplinary treatment, with a strong materials community, for technical exchange on optoelecronic materials, device application, and system development. Proceedings of the symposium at the 103rd Annual Meeting of The American Ceramic Society, held April 22-25, 2001 in Indianapolis, Indiana; Ceramic Transactions, Volume 126.
This book presents theory, fundamentals and applications of ferroelectricy. 24 chapters gather reviews and research reports covering the spectrum of ferroelectricity. It describes the current levels of understanding of various aspects of ferroelectricity as presented by authorities in the field. Topics include relaxors, piezoelectrics, microscale and nanoscale studies, polymers and composites, unusual properties, and techniques and devices. The book is intended for physicists, engineers and materials scientists working with ferroelectric materials.
This volume comprises the main ideas and the latest results in the study of electromagnetic materials, as presented at the Symposium on Electromagnetic Materials, ICMAT 2005.The high quality contributions reflect the principle aims of the conference: to provide an international forum for scientists and engineers to report their most recent research findings, to exchange ideas and information, and to nuture and establish research ties. Electromagnetic materials have both civilian and defence applications, such as novel antenna designs, protection against high power transients in densely packed printed circuits, and special frequency response or polarization response to meet component or system specifications. An in-depth understanding of the responses of materials to electromagnetic waves may even enable us to design and fabricate materials with properties not found in nature.
Often thought of as a solitary activity, the practice of reading can in fact encode the complex politics of community formation. Engagement with literary culture represents a particularly integral facet of identity formation--and expresses of a sense of belonging--within the South Asian diaspora in the United States. Tamara Bhalla blends a case study with literary and textual analysis to illuminate this phenomenon. Her fascinating investigation considers institutions from literary reviews to the marketplace to social media and other technologies, as well as traditional forms of literary discussion like book clubs and academic criticism. Throughout, Bhalla questions how her subjects' circumstances, desires, and shared race and class, limit the values they ascribe to reading. She also examines how ideology circulating around a body of literature or a self-selected, imagined community of readers shapes reading itself and influences South Asians' powerful, if contradictory, relationship with ideals of cultural authenticity.
