High-Resolution Imaging and Spectrometry of Materials
The characterisation of materials and material systems is an essential aspect of materials science. A few decades ago it became obvious that, because the properties of materials depend so critically on the microstructure of their components, this characterisation must be determined to the atomic level. This means that the position - as well as the nature - of individual atoms has to be determined at "critical" regions close to defects such as dislocations, interfaces, and surfaces. The great impact of advanced transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques became apparent in the area of semiconducting materials, where the nature of internal interfaces between silicon and the corresponding...
Ringberg Castle on Tegernsee
Ringberg Castle on Tegernsee is the final example of the long-standing building tradition of the Wittelsbach dynasty. Duke Luitpold had this mighty complex built over a period of six decades, from 1913 to his death in 1973, taking as much interest in its progress as his uncle King Ludwig II had during the construction of his "fairy tale castles." As a work of art, Ringberg is unequalled in Europe. It impressively reflects all the changes in art during the periods covering late Historicism, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, regional styles, Neo-Classicism, Modernism and National-Socialist-Classicism. The architecture and furnishings were the work of a single individual - the Munich painter Friedrich Attenhuber, Luitpold's house-artist. Duke Luitpold bequeathed Ringberg Palace to the Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, which today uses the premises for academic conventions.
Fundamentals of Metal-Matrix Composites
`Metal-Matrix Composites' are being used or considered for use in a variety of applications in the automotive, aerospace and sporting goods industries. This book contains sixteen chapters, all written by leading experts in the filed, which focus on the processing, microstructure and characterization, mechanics and micromechanics of deformation, mechanics and micromechanics of damage and fracture, and practical applications of a wide variety of metal composites.A particularly noteworthy feature of this authoritative volume is its collection of state-of-the-art reviews of the relationships among processing, microstructural evolution, micromechanics of deformation and overall mechanical response.
Equilibrium Structure and Properties of Surfaces and Interfaces
It is almost self-evident that surface and interface science, coupled with the electronic structure of bulk materials, playa fundamental role in the understanding of materials properties. If one is to have any hope of understanding such properties as catalysis, microelectronic devices and contacts, wear, lubrication, resistance to corrosion, ductility, creep, intragranular fracture, toughness and strength of steels, adhesion of protective oxide scales, and the mechanical properties of ceramics, one must address a rather complex problem involving a number of fundamental parameters: the atomic and electronic structure, the energy and chemistry of surface and interface regions, diffusion along ...
Review of Extraction, Processing, Properties, and Applications of Reactive Metals
This proceedings volume from the 1999 TMS Annual Meeting is intended to serve as a compendium on reactive metals. Specifically, this book concentrates on zirconium, hafnium, molybdenum, niobium, beryllium, and titanium. Covering different aspects of extraction and recovery, metal refining, processing, and current and potential applications of these metals, this volume serves as a valuable reference source on reactive metals.
Nanostructure Science and Technology
Timely information on scientific and engineering developments occurring in laboratories around the world provides critical input to maintaining the economic and technological strength of the United States. Moreover, sharing this information quickly with other countries can greatly enhance the productivity of scientists and engineers. These are some of the reasons why the National Science Foundation (NSF) has been involved in funding science and technology assessments comparing the United States and foreign countries since the early 1980s. A substantial number of these studies have been conducted by the World Technology Evaluation Center (WTEC) managed by Loyola College through a cooperative ...
Bachelet: high temp- erature mater
Themes reflect the work carried out within the framework of COST-501 and of COST-505 the latter being concerned with materials for steam turbines and the first results of the concerted action COST-501/II 'High temperature materials for power engineering' initiated in 1988.
Electron Microbeam Analysis
This supplement of Mikrochimica Acta contains selected papers from the Second Workshop of the European Microbeam Analysis Society (EMAS) "Modern Developments and Applications in Microbeam Analysis", on which took place in May 1991 in Dubrovnik (Yugoslavia). EMAS was founded in 1987 by members from almost all European countries, in order to stimulate research, applications and development of all forms of microbeam methods. One of the most important activities EMAS is the organisation of biannual workshops for demonstrating the current status and developing trends of microbeam methods. For this meeting, EMAS chose to highlight the following topics: electron-beam microanalysis (EPMA) of thin fi...
Metal-Ceramic Interfaces
As engineering materials and structures often contain a metal or metallic alloy bonded to a ceramic, the resultant interface must be able to sustain mechanical forces without failure. They also play an important role in oxidation or reduction of materials. The workshop on 'Bonding, Structure and Mechanical Properties of Metal/Ceramic Interfaces' was held in January 1989 within the Acta/Scripta Metallurgica conference series. It drew together an international collection of 70 scientists who discussed a wide range of issues related to metal-ceramic interfaces. The sessions were divided into 7 categories: structure and bonding, chemistry at interfaces, formation of interfaces, structure of inte...
