| Title | First Principles Modelling of Shape Memory Alloys : Molecular Dynamics Simulations |
| Author(s) | Kastner, Oliver |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2012. |
| Description | XVI, 176 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Materials sciences relate the macroscopic properties of materials to their microscopic structure and postulate the need for holistic multiscale research. The investigation of shape memory alloys is a prime example in this regard. This particular class of materials exhibits strong coupling of temperature, strain and stress, determined by solid state phase transformations of their metallic lattices. The present book presents a collection of simulation studies of this behaviour. Employing conceptually simple but comprehensive models, the fundamental material properties of shape memory alloys are qualitatively explained from first principles. Using contemporary methods of molecular dynamics simulation experiments, it is shown how microscale dynamics may produce characteristic macroscopic material properties. The work is rooted in the materials sciences of shape memory alloys and?? covers?? thermodynamical, micro-mechanical?? and crystallographical aspects. It addresses scientists in these research fields and their students |

| Title | Magnetic Nanoparticles : A Study by Synchrotron Radiation and RF Transverse Susceptibility |
| Author(s) | Figueroa, Adriana I |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2015. |
| Description | XI, 165 p. 85 illus., 2 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | ??Magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) are finding their place in many modern technologies such as electronics (memory or spintronic devices) and medicine (contrast media, electromagnetic thermal therapy) to name just a few examples. The application of modern techniques based on synchrotron radiation, in particular X-ray spectroscopies, as well as an rf transverse susceptibility probe, built ad hoc, allowed the author to investigate several classes of magnetic NPs with diverse applications. For example, the interesting anisotropic properties of CoW and CoPt NPs revealed new magnetic behaviour and phases. Gold NPs prepared on a biological template from Sulfolobus acidocaldarius S-layer, were shown to possess intrinsic magnetism caused by the electron exchange with the sulfur atoms of the template. Silica and oleic acid coated magnetite NPs showed excellent human compatibility while preserving the bulk magnetic figures of merit. Both macroscopic and microscopic properties of all these NPs, hitherto unexplained, have been revealed for the first time |

| Title | Factors Governing Tin Whisker Growth |
| Author(s) | Crandall, Erika R |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2013. |
| Description | XII, 136 p. 92 illus., 65 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Tin (Sn) whiskers are electrically conductive, single crystal eruptions that grow from Sn film surfaces. Their high aspect ratio presents reliability problems for the electronics industry due to bridging and metal arcing, leading to malfunctions and catastrophic failures in many electronic systems (including satellite and defense sectors). Due to legislation in the EU, Japan, and the U.S., mandating a gradual shift from lead (Pb)-based to lead-free solders and board finishes, there has been a reemergence of Sn whiskers. Continuing reports of Sn whisker induced failures coupled with the lack of an industry-accepted understanding of whisker growth and/or test methods to identify whisker prone products has made pure/high Sn substitutes a risky proposition in high reliability systems. This thesis is designed to clarify and control the fundamental mechanisms that govern whisker formation. The research focuses on reproducible "laboratory" created whiskers under a variety of rigorously controlled environmental factors such as film thickness, film stress, substrate material, gas environment, and humidity exposure, which are known to play a significant role in whisker production. The ultimate question of how to impede and/or prevent whisker growth is also addressed and shows that whisker prevention is possible via hard metal capping films, which are impenetrable by whiskers |

| Author(s) | Kakehashi, Yoshiro |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2013. |
| Description | IX, 345 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book describes theoretical aspects of the metallic magnetism from metals to disordered alloys to amorphous alloys both at the ground state and at finite temperatures. The book gives an introduction to the metallic magnetism, and treats effects of electron correlations on magnetism, spin fluctuations in metallic magnetism, formation of complex magnetic structures, a variety of magnetism due to configurational disorder in alloys as well as a new magnetism caused by the structural disorder in amorphous alloys, especially the itinerant-electron spin glasses. The readers will find that all these topics can be understood systematically?? by means of the spin-fluctuation theories based on the functional integral method |

| Title | Heterogeneous Ferroelectric Solid Solutions : Phases and Domain States |
| Author(s) | Topolov, Vitaly |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2012. |
| Description | XIV, 158 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The book deals with perovskite-type ferroelectric solid solutions for modern materials science and applications, solving problems of complicated heterophase/domain structures near the morphotropic phase boundary and applications to various systems with morphotropic phases. In this book domain state???interface diagrams are presented for the interpretation of heterophase states in perovskite-type ferroelectric solid solutions. It allows to describe the stress relief in the presence of polydomain phases, the behavior of unit-cell parameters of coexisting phases and the effect of external electric fields. The novelty of the book consists in (i) the first systematization of data about heterophase states and their evolution in ferroelectric solid solutions (ii) the general interpretation of heterophase and domain structures at changing temperature, composition or electric field (iii) the complete analysis of interconnection domain structures, unit-cell parameters changes, heterophase structures and stress relief |

| Title | Grain Boundaries : From Theory to Engineering |
| Author(s) | Priester, Louisette |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 2013. |
| Description | XXII, 442 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Grain boundaries are a main feature of crystalline materials. They play a key role in determining the properties of materials, especially when grain size decreases and even more so with the current improvements of?? processing tools and methods that allow us to control various elements in a polycrystal. This book presents the theoretical basis of the study of?? grain boundaries and aims to open up new lines of research in this area. The treatment is light on mathematical approaches while emphasizing practical examples; the issues they raise are discussed with reference to theories. The general approach of the book has two main goals: to lead the reader from the concept of ???ideal??? to ???real??? grain boundaries; to depart from established knowledge and address the opportunities emerging through "grain boundary engineering",?? the control of morphological and crystallographic features that affect material properties. The book is divided in three parts:?? I ???From interganular order to disorder??? deals with the concept of the perfect grain boundary, at equilibrium, and questions the maintenance of its crystalline state.?? II ???From the ideal to the real grain boundary??? deals with the concept of the faulted grain boundary. It attempts to reveal the influence of the grain boundary structure on its defects, their formation and their accommodation.?? III ???From free to constrained grain boundaries??? is devoted to grain boundary ensembles starting from the triple junction (the elemental configuration) to real grain boundary networks in polycrystals This part covers a new and topical development in the field. It presents for the first time an avenue for researchers working on macroscopic aspects,??to approach the scale of description of grain boundaries. Audience: graduate students, researchers and?? engineers in Materials Science and all those scientists pursuing grain boundary engineering in order to improve??materials performance |

| Title | Physics of Ferroelectrics : A Modern Perspective |
| Author(s) | Rabe, Karin M;Ahn, Charles H;Triscone, Jean-Marc |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2007. |
| Description | XII, 388 p. 123 illus., 36 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | During the past two decades, revolutionary breakthroughs have occurred in the understanding of ferroelectric materials, both from the perspective of theory and experiment. First principles approaches, including the Berry phase formulation of ferroelectricity, now allow accurate, quantitative predictions of material properties, and single crystalline thin films are now available for fundamental studies of these materials. In addition, the need for high dielectric constant insulators and nonvolatile memories in semiconductor applications has motivated a renaissance in the investigation of these materials. This book addresses the paradigmatic shifts in understanding brought about by these breakthroughs, including the consideration of novel fabrication methods of single crystalline ferroelectric thin films and nanoscale applications of these materials, and new theoretical methods such as the effective Hamiltonian approach and density functional theory. A book for practicing scientists as well as graduate students |

| Title | Materials Chemistry |
| Author(s) | Fahlman, Bradley D |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 2011. |
| Description | XI, 736 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The 2nd edition of Materials Chemistry builds on the strengths that were recognized by a 2008 Textbook Excellence Award from the Text and Academic Authors Association (TAA). Materials Chemistry addresses inorganic-, organic-, and nano-based materials from a structure vs. property treatment, providing a suitable breadth and depth coverage of the rapidly evolving materials field. The 2nd edition continues to offer innovative coverage and practical perspective throughout. After briefly defining materials chemistry and its history, seven chapters discuss solid-state chemistry, metals, semiconducting materials, organic "soft" materials, nanomaterials, and materials characterization. All chapters have been thoroughly updated and expanded with, for example, new sections on ???soft lithographic??? patterning, ???click chemistry??? polymerization, nanotoxicity, graphene, as well as many biomaterials applications. The polymer and ???soft??? materials chapter represents the largest expansion for the 2nd edition. Each chapter concludes with a section that describes important materials applications, and an updated list of thought-provoking questions. The appendices have also been updated with additional laboratory modules for materials synthesis and a comprehensive timeline of major materials developments. Appropriate for junior/senior undergraduate students, as well as first-year graduate students in chemistry, physics, or engineering. Materials Chemistry may also serve as a reference to industrial researchers. |
