"The log of the Jolly Roger. As the Roman Empire sweeps across first century Britain like a plague of locusts, Celtic outlander Torin Mac Quillan faces the invading legions in a desperate and bloody battle to defend his village and family. Rather than be taken as a slave, he throws himself onto Roman spears ... but at the exact moment of his death, he is snatched from the heat of battle and transported thousands of years across time to a nightmare world of the distant future, where the freedom of all mankind is threatened by a savage alien race of our own creation. Enlisted by the beautiful and mysterious Tamra, a scientist/statesman who carries the secret of how her own past is linked to his, Torin sets sail abourd The Jolly Roger and into the heart of an interplanetary struggle that spans the solar system."--Page 4 of cover
Physics of Organic Semiconductors
Filling the gap in the literature currently available, this book presents an overview of our knowledge of the physics behind organic semiconductor devices. Contributions from 18 international research groups cover various aspects of this field, ranging from the growth of organic layers and crystals, their electronic properties at interfaces, their photophysics and electrical transport properties to the application of these materials in such different devices as organic field-effect transistors, photovoltaic cells and organic light-emitting diodes. From the contents: * Excitation Dynamics in Organic Semiconductors * Organic Field-Effect Transistors * Spectroscopy of Organic Semiconductors * Interfaces between Organic Semiconductors and Metals * Analysis and Modeling of Devices * Exciton Formation and Energy Transfer in Organic Light Emitting Diodes * Deposition and Characterization
Excitonic and Photonic Processes in Materials
This book is expected to present state-of-the-art understanding of a selection of excitonic and photonic processes in useful materials from semiconductors to insulators to metal/insulator nanocomposites, both inorganic and organic. Among the featured applications are components of solar cells, detectors, light-emitting devices, scintillators and materials with novel optical properties. Excitonic properties are particularly important in organic photovoltaics and light emitting devices, as also in questions of the ultimate resolution and efficiency of new-generation scintillators for medical diagnostics, border security and nuclear non proliferation. Novel photonic and optoelectronic applications benefit from new material combinations and structures to be discussed.
Organic Light-Emitting Devices
Although it has long been possible to make organic materials emit light, it has only recently become possible to do so at the level and with the efficiency and control necessary to make the materials a useful basis for illumination in any but the most specialized uses. This book surveys the current status of the field.
The Bread the Devil Knead
Shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2022 'An extraordinary and emotionally immersive novel – the music of Lisa Allen-Agostini's writing voice is gloriously specific to Trinidad, yet this heart-wrenching story of a woman both liberated and in need of liberation has universal resonance.'— Margaret Busby. 'Strips you down to raw nerve to build you back up again. Allen-Agostini has an unswerving eye.'— Nalo Hopkinson 'You dip into the first page and don't come up for breath until the last... thoroughly enjoyable.'— Kei Miller Alethea Lopez is about to turn 40. Fashionable, feisty and fiercely independent, she manages a boutique in Port of Spain, but behind closed doors she's covering up bruises from her abusive partner and seeking solace in an affair with her boss. When she witnesses a woman murdered by a jealous lover, the reality of her own future comes a little too close to home. Bringing us her truth in an arresting, unsparing Trinidadian voice, Alethea unravels memories repressed since childhood and begins to understand the person she has become. Her next step is to decide the woman she wants to be.
Liquid Crystals Beyond Displays
The chemistry, physics, and applications of liquid crystals beyond LCDs Liquid Crystals (LCs) combine order and mobility on a molecular and supramolecular level. But while these remarkable states of matter are most commonly associated with visual display technologies, they have important applications for a variety of other fields as well. Liquid Crystals Beyond Displays: Chemistry, Physics, and Applications considers these, bringing together cutting-edge research from some of the most promising areas of LC science. Featuring contributions from respected researchers from around the globe, this edited volume emphasizes the chemistry, physics, and applications of LCs in areas such as photovolta...
Photophysics of Molecular Materials
Carbon based pi-conjugated materials offer a broad range of applications, going from molecular electronics and single molecule devices to nanotechnology, plastic electronics and optoelectronics. The proper physical description of such materials is in between that of molecular solids and that of low-dimensional covalent semiconductors. This book is a comprehensive review of their elementary excitations processes and dynamics, which merges the two viewpoints, sometimes very different if not contrasting. In each chapter, a broad tutorial introduction provides a solid physical background to the topic, which is further discussed based on recent experimental results obtained via state-of-the-art t...
Flat Panel Displays
Liquid crystals and electroluminescent organic materials have a wide commercial application in flat panel displays, in products such as clocks, navigational aids and laptop computers. Traditionally there has been a divide between the two fields of organic materials research and industrial activity. This book aims to bridge that gap and provide a standard reference work for all those involved. Starting with the first prototype and moving chapter by chapter through developments to the present day, Flat Panel Displays: Advanced Organic Materials describes the display type device specifications and material development. With clear descriptions and diagrams, the reader is presented with the fundamental properties of liquid crystals and electroluminescent organic compounds, along with the mode of operation of the displays using them. Written in a non-mathematical way, this book will be welcomed by chemists, physicists and materials scientists in both industry and research.
Handbook of Polymers in Electronics
The Handbook of Polymers in Electronics has been designed to discuss the novel ways in which polymers can be used in the rapidly growing electronics industry. It provides discussion of the preparation and characterisation of suitable polymeric materials and their current and potential applications coupled with the fundamentals of electrical, optical and photophysical properties. It will thus serve the needs of those already active in the electronics field as well as new entrants to the industry.
