The Coming of Materials Science both covers the discipline of materials science, and draws an impressionistic map of the present state of the subject.The first chapter examines the emergence of the materials science concept, in both academe and industry. The second and third chapters delve back into the prehistory of materials science, examining the growth of such concepts as atoms, crystals and thermodynamics, and also examine the evolution of a number of neighbouring disciplines, to see what helpful parallels might emerge. The book contains numerous literature references. Many refer to the earliest key papers and books, while others are to sources, often books, offering a view of the prese...
Electrical and Electronics Components using Copper (Cu) and Aluminium (Al) as a conducting material for many decades. This work presents the use of Carbon Nano Tubes (CNT) material to replace the traditional electrical and electronics conductive material. Also this work extensively reviewed the use of CNTs for the applications such as transformers, inductors, cables, connectors and motors which can considerably reduce the size and weight of the electrical components. Also, CNTs can be used as a electrical interconnect and bond wire material in electronics semiconductor devices. CNTs are promising conductive material for next generation electrical and electronics devices
Computational molecular and materials modeling has emerged to deliver solid technological impacts in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and materials industries. It is not the all-predictive science fiction that discouraged early adopters in the 1980s. Rather, it is proving a valuable aid to designing and developing new products and processes. People create, not computers, and these tools give them qualitative relations and quantitative properties that they need to make creative decisions. With detailed analysis and examples from around the world, Applying Molecular and Materials Modeling describes the science, applications, and infrastructures that have proven successful. Computational quantum chemistry, molecular simulations, informatics, desktop graphics, and high-performance computing all play important roles. At the same time, the best technology requires the right practitioners, the right organizational structures, and - most of all - a clearly understood blend of imagination and realism that propels technological advances. This book is itself a powerful tool to help scientists, engineers, and managers understand and take advantage of these advances.
Computational chemistry is increasingly used in most areas of molecular science including organic, inorganic, medicinal, biological, physical, and analytical chemistry. Researchers in these fields who do molecular modelling need to understand and stay current with recent developments. This volume, like those prior to it, features chapters by experts in various fields of computational chemistry. Two chapters focus on molecular docking, one of which relates to drug discovery and cheminformatics and the other to proteomics. In addition, this volume contains tutorials on spin-orbit coupling and cellular automata modeling, as well as an extensive bibliography of computational chemistry books. FRO...
The MRS Symposium Proceeding series is an internationally recognised reference suitable for researchers and practitioners.
Perovskites form a large class of materials, deceptively simple in basic structure but immensely complex in compositional variations, symmetry changes, and physical properties. They include ferroelectrics, magnetoresistive materials, oxide ion and proton conductors, superconductors, and an abundant phase in the Earth's lower mantle. This volume brings together researchers operating in diverse areas with the common goal of understanding perovskite's intrinsic and extrinsic properties and their potential use. A recurring theme is the interplay of theory and experiment in understanding and predicting properties. Sessions on theory and modeling are featured, emphasizing phase changes and elasticity of Earth materials such as MgSiO3, and CaSiO3, and underscoring new magnetic and ferroelectric materials, including thin films and multilayers. These are complemented by experimental studies of the synthesis of new families of perovskites and property measurements. The volume shows the diversity of materials, measurements, and ideas being studied at present.
