| Title | Disorder and Strain-Induced Complexity in Functional Materials |
| Author(s) | Kakeshita, Tomoyuki;Fukuda, Takashi;Saxena, Avadh;Planes, Antoni |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2012. |
| Description | XVI, 308 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book brings together an emerging consensus on our understanding of the complex functional materials including ferroics, perovskites, multiferroics, CMR and high-temperature superconductors. The common theme is the existence of many competing ground states and frustration as a collusion of spin, charge, orbital and lattice degrees of freedom in the presence of disorder and (both dipolar and elastic) long-range forces. An important consequence of the complex unit cell and the competing interactions is that the emergent materials properties are very sensitive to external fields thus rendering these materials with highly desirable, technologically important applications enabled by cross-response |

| Title | Microstructuring of Glasses |
| Author(s) | H??lsenberg, Dagmar;Harnisch, Alf;Bismarck, Alexander |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2008. |
| Description | XX, 326 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | As microstructured glass becomes increasingly important for microsystems technology, the main application fields include micro-fluidic systems, micro-analysis systems, sensors, micro-actuators and implants. And, because glass has quite distinct properties from silicon, PMMA and metals, applications exist where only glass devices meet the requirements. The main advantages of glass derive from its amorphous nature, the precondition for its - theoretically - direction-independent geometric structurability. Microstructuring of Glasses deals with the amorphous state, various glass compositions and their properties, the interactions between glasses and the electromagnetic waves used to modify it. Also treated in detail are methods for influencing the geometrical microstructure of glasses by mechanical, chemical, thermal, optical, and electrical treatment, and the methods and equipment required to produce actual microdevices |

| Title | Dispersion Stability, Microstructure and Phase Transition of Anisotropic Nanodiscs |
| Author(s) | Pujala, Ravi Kumar |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2014. |
| Description | XVI, 154 p. 95 illus., 26 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This thesis explores the dispersion stability, microstructure and phase transitions involved in the nanoclay system.??It describes the recently discovered formation of colloidal gels via two routes: the first is through phase separation and second is by equilibrium gelation and includes the first reported experimental observation of a system with high aspect ratio nanodiscs. The phase behavior of anisotropic nanodiscs of different aspect ratio in their individual and mixed states in aqueous and hydrophobic media??is investigated. Distinct phase separation, equilibrium fluid and equilibrium gel phases??are observed in nanoclay dispersions with extensive aging.??The work then??explores solution behavior, gelation kinetics, aging dynamics and temperature-induced ordering in the individual and mixed states of these discotic colloids. Anisotropic ordering dynamics induced by a water-air interface, waiting time and temperature in these dispersions were studied in great detail along with aggregation behavior of nanoplatelets in hydrophobic environment of alcohol solutions |

| Title | Boron Rich Solids : Sensors, Ultra High Temperature Ceramics, Thermoelectrics, Armor |
| Author(s) | Orlovskaya, Nina;Lugovy, Mykola |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 2011. |
| Description | XVIII, 330 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The objective of this book is to discuss the current status of research and development of boron-rich solids as sensors, ultra-high temperature ceramics, thermoelectrics, and armor. Novel biological and chemical sensors made of stiff and light-weight boron-rich solids are very exciting and efficient for applications in medical diagnoses, environmental surveillance and the detection of pathogen and biological/chemical terrorism agents. Ultra-high temperature ceramic composites exhibit excellent oxidation and corrosion resistance for hypersonic vehicle applications. Boron-rich solids are also promising candidates for high-temperature thermoelectric conversion. Armor is another very important application of boron-rich solids, since most of them exhibit very high hardness, which makes them perfect candidates with high resistance to ballistic impact. The following topical areas are presented: ???boron-rich solids: science and technology; ???synthesis and sintering strategies of boron rich solids; ???microcantilever sensors; ???screening of the possible boron-based thermoelectric conversion materials; ???ultra-high temperature ZrB2 and HfB2 based composites ???magnetic, transport and high-pressure properties of boron-rich solids; ???restrictions of the sensor dimensions for chemical detection; ???armor |

| Title | The Vitreous State : Thermodynamics, Structure, Rheology, and Crystallization |
| Author(s) | Gutzow, Ivan S;Schmelzer, J??rn W.P |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2013. |
| Description | XXII, 553 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book summarizes the experimental evidence and modern classical and theoretical approaches in understanding the vitreous state, from structural problems, over equilibrium and non-equilibrium thermodynamics, to statistical physics. Glasses, and especially silicate glasses, are only the best known representatives of this particular physical state of matter. Other typical representatives include organic polymer glasses, and many other easily vitrifying organic and inorganic substances, technically important materials, amidst them vitreous water and vitrified aqueous solutions, and also many metallic alloy systems. Some of these systems only form glasses under particular conditions, e.g. through ultra-rapid cooling. This book describes the properties and the formation of both every-day technical glasses and especially of such more exotic forms of vitreous matter. It??is a unique source of knowledge and new ideas for materials scientists, engineers and researchers working on condensed matter. The new edition emphasizes latest experimental findings and modern theories, explaining the kinetics of glass formation, the relaxation and stabilization of glasses and their crystallization in terms of new models, derived from the framework of the thermodynamics of irreversible processes. It shows how the properties of common technical glasses, window glass, or the vitreous ice kernel of comets can be used to develop a new understanding of the existence of matter in various, unusual??forms. The developed theoretical models??can find application even in the description of lasers and in unusual processes in the universe |

| Title | Multifunctional Polycrystalline Ferroelectric Materials : Processing and Properties |
| Author(s) | Pardo, Lorena;Ricote, Jes??s |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 2011. |
| Description | XXIII, 782 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book presents selected topics on processing and properties of ferroelectric materials that are currently the focus of attention in scientific and technical research. Ferro-piezoelectric ceramics are key materials in devices for many applications, such as automotive, healthcare and non-destructive testing. As they are polycrystalline, non-centrosymmetric materials, their piezoelectricity is induced by the so-called poling process. This is based on the principle of polarization reversal by the action of an electric field that characterizes the ferroelectric materials. This book was born with the aim of increasing the awareness of the multifunctionality of ferroelectric materials among different communities, such as researchers, electronic engineers, end-users and manufacturers, working on and with ferro-piezoelectric ceramic materials and devices which are based on them. The initiative to write this book comes from a well-established group of researchers at the Laboratories of Ferroelectric Materials, Materials Science Institute of Madrid (ICMM-CSIC). This group has been working in different areas concerning thin films and bulk ceramic materials since the mid-1980s. It is a partner of the Network of Excellence on Multifunctional and Integrated Piezoelectric Devices (MIND) of the EC, in which the European Institute of Piezoelectric Materials and Devices has its origin |

| Title | Relaxation and Diffusion in Complex Systems |
| Author(s) | Ngai, K.L |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 2011. |
| Description | XXI, 835 p. 325 illus., 159 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Relaxation and Diffusion in Complex Systems comprehensively presents a variety of experimental evidences of universal relaxation and diffusion properties in complex materials and systems. The materials discussed include liquids, glasses, colloids, polymers, rubbers, plastic crystals and aqueous mixtures, as well as carbohydrates, biomolecules, bioprotectants and pharmaceuticals. Due to the abundance of experimental data, emphasis is placed on glass-formers and the glass transition problem, a still unsolved problem in condensed matter physics and chemistry. The evidence for universal properties of relaxation and diffusion dynamics suggests that a fundamental physical law is at work. The origin of the universal properties is traced to the many-body effects of the interaction, rigorous theory of which does not exist at the present time. However, using solutions of simplified models as guides, key quantities have been identified and predictions of the universal properties generated. These predictions from Ngai???s Coupling Model can qualitatively as well as quantitatively explain the experimentally observed dynamic properties of different complex interacting materials and systems in many cases, essentially from the strength of the interaction. Change of relaxation and diffusion dynamics when dimension of the material is reduced to nanometer scale are consistent with the predictions. The success of the Coupling Model provides some measure of understanding the relaxation properties of complex interacting systems and also paves the way for the construction of rigorous theories in the future. Relaxation and Diffusion in Complex Systems describes advances that affect many different areas of research, and will be of particular interest to those working in the fields of materials science, nanotechnology, energy and medicine |

| Title | Structural Studies of Liquids and Glasses Using Aerodynamic Levitation |
| Author(s) | Farmer, Thomas |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2015. |
| Description | XIV, 113 p. 54 illus., 30 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This thesis presents neutron scattering data that contribute to the understanding of four distinct areas of condensed matter physics, including iso-compositional liquid-liquid phase transitions and the glass formation in rare earth doped BaTi2O5. In situ aerodynamic levitation with laser heating was combined with neutron scattering in order to study both liquid-liquid phase transitions in (Y2O3)x(Al2O3)1-x, and the atomic and magnetic ordering in liquid Invar.??Among several significant results, obtained in this case from small angle neutron scattering, was??the absence of a phase transition across a range of temperatures and compositions in the yttria aluminates.?? As these are a principal system in which liquid-liquid phase transitions have been hypothesized, this is an important contribution in a contentious area |
