Multiscale Modelling of Diffusion-Controlled Phenomena in Condensed Matter
Special topic volume with invited peer reviewed papers only
Tuning electronic properties of transition metal oxides at nanoscale by means of redox processes
The climate crisis that we are facing has galvanized the scientific and engineering communities and has led to the rapid development of new, efficient, environmentally-friendly devices. One of the most promising classes of materials for such applications are transition metal oxides. This is due to the fact that by controlling the oxygen content in these crystals by means of reduction and oxidation, the material properties can be tuned in a wide range of values. Thus, the transition metal oxides, such as the model crystals, titanium dioxide (TiO2) and strontium titanate (SrTiO3), find use in so many different fields, from photocatalysis, to energy storage (solid oxide fuel cells), information...

Diffusion in Nanoporous Materials, 2 Volumes
Atoms and molecules in all states of matter are subject to continuous irregular movement. This process, referred to as diffusion, is among the most general and basic phenomena in nature and determines the performance of many technological processes. This book provides an introduction to the fascinating world of diffusion in microporous solids. Jointly written by three well-known researchers in this field, it presents a coherent treatise, rather than a compilation of separate review articles, covering the theoretical fundamentals, molecular modeling, experimental observation and technical applications. Based on the book Diffusion in Zeolites and other Microporous Solids, originally published in 1992, it illustrates the remarkable speed with which this field has developed since that time. Specific topics include: new families of nanoporous materials, micro-imaging and single-particle tracking, direct monitoring of transient profiles by interference microscopy, single-file diffusion and new approaches to molecular modeling.
Reconstructive Phase Transitions
This book deals with the phenomenological theory of first-order structural phase transitions, with a special emphasis on reconstructive transformations in which a group-subgroup relationship between the symmetries of the phases is absent. It starts with a unified presentation of the current approach to first-order phase transitions, using the more recent results of the Landau theory of phase transitions and of the theory of singularities. A general theory of reconstructive phase transitions is then formulated, in which the structures surrounding a transition are expressed in terms of density-waves, providing a natural definition of the transition order-parameters, and a description of the corresponding phase diagrams and relevant physical properties. The applicability of the theory is illustrated by a large number of concrete examples pertaining to the various classes of reconstructive transitions: allotropic transformations of the elements, displacive and order-disorder transformations in metals, alloys and related structures, crystal-quasicrystal transformations.
