Stability of Materials

Engineering materials with desirable physical and technological properties requires understanding and predictive capability of materials behavior under varying external conditions, such as temperature and pressure. This immediately brings one face to face with the fundamental difficulty of establishing a connection between materials behavior at a microscopic level, where understanding is to be sought, and macroscopic behavior which needs to be predicted. Bridging the corresponding gap in length scales that separates the ends of this spectrum has been a goal intensely pursued by theoretical physicists, experimentalists, and metallurgists alike. Traditionally, the search for methods to bridge ...

Critical Phenomena at Surfaces and Interfaces

  • Type: Book

  • Publisher: Springer

This book deals with the application of grazing angle x-ray and neutron scattering to the study of surface-induced critical phenomena. With the advent of even more advanced synchrotron radiation sources and new sophisticated instrumentation this novel technique is expected to experience a boom. The comprehensive and detailed presentation of theoretical and experimental aspects of the scattering of evanascent x-ray and neutron waves inside a solid makes this book particularly useful for tutorial courses. Particular emphasis is put on the use of this technique to extract microscopic information (correlation functions) from the real structure of a surface, from buried and magnetic interfaces and from surface roughness.

Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen

It was one of the great moments of humanity when Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen (1845– 1923) discovered a new kind of radiation on 8 November 1895. He himself modestly called them “X-rays”. Röntgen’s name and his rays became world famous. On 10 December 1901, Röntgen received the first Nobel Prize in Physics. X-rays have lost none of their appeal since then. They still permeate all areas of science, technology and medicine and accompany us in our everyday lives. However, Röntgen’s scientific work cannot be reduced to this one great discovery alone. He was an excellent natural scientist, and his spirit of research is still an example for many scientists today. Röntgen’s very special interest in precision physics is also more topical than ever. This carefully curated volume offers a multifaceted view of an outstanding natural scientist and provides insights into his personal legacy.

Nanotechnology Research Directions for Societal Needs in 2020

This volume presents a comprehensive perspective on the global scientific, technological, and societal impact of nanotechnology since 2000, and explores the opportunities and research directions in the next decade to 2020. The vision for the future of nanotechnology presented here draws on scientific insights from U.S. experts in the field, examinations of lessons learned, and international perspectives shared by participants from 35 countries in a series of high-level workshops organized by Mike Roco of the National Science Foundation (NSF), along with a team of American co-hosts that includes Chad Mirkin, Mark Hersam, Evelyn Hu, and several other eminent U.S. scientists. The study performed in support of the U.S. National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) aims to redefine the R&D goals for nanoscale science and engineering integration and to establish nanotechnology as a general-purpose technology in the next decade. It intends to provide decision makers in academia, industry, and government with a nanotechnology community perspective of productive and responsible paths forward for nanotechnology R&D.

Elementary Processes in Organic Photovoltaics

  • Publisher: Springer

This volume presents the results of a multi-year research programme funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Research Council), which explains how organic solar cells work. In this new promising photovoltaic technology, carbon-based materials are deposited by low-cost methods onto flexible substrates, thus allowing devices which open completely new applications like transparent coatings for building, solar cells integrated into clothing or packages, and many more. The investigation of organic solar cells is an interdisciplinary topic, covering physics, chemistry and engineering. The different chapters address topics ranging from the synthesis of new organic materials, to the characterization of the elementary processes such as exciton transport and separation, and the principles of highly efficient device design. /div

Von schnellen Teilchen und hellem Licht

Weitere Angaben Verfasser: Erich Lohrmann promovierte 1956 an der Technischen Hochschule Stuttgart und arbeitete danach zur kosmischen Strahlung und Hochenergiephysik an den Universitäten Bern, Frankfurt und Chicago. Ab 1961 arbeitete er als Wissenschaftler am DESY an Experimenten am Synchrotron und an den drei Speicherringen. Von 1968 bis 1972 und von 1979 bis 1981 war Professor Lohrmann Leiter des Forschungsbereichs und Mitglied des DESY-Direktoriums; von 1976 bis 1978 Mitglied des CERN-Direktoriums, und seit 1976 Professor an der Universität Hamburg. Er wurde 1996 emeritiert. Paul Söding war einer der ersten Diplomanden des DESY-Gründungsvaters Willibald Jentschke. Nach Promotion und Habilitation in Hamburg forschte er an der University of California in Berkeley und der Cornell University in New York sowie am CERN und ab 1969 als leitender Wissenschaftler am DESY. Von 1982 bis 1991 war Professor Söding Leiter des Forschungsbereichs und Mitglied des DESY-Direktoriums, anschliessend Leiter des neuen Forschungsbereichs DESY-Zeuthen bis 1998. Er lehrte an der Universität Hamburg und der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.
