This book was released on 1994 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume represents a record of the proceedings of the Symposium on Materials for Smart Systems which was held in conjunction with the 1994 Materials Research Society Fall Meeting in Boston, Massachusetts. The Symposium revolved primarily around the use of ferroelectrics, magnetostrictive materials, and shape memory materials in the design of compact sensors and actuators. Productive joint sessions were also held in the areas of ferroelectric films-based transducers and chemical sensors. Ninety-six oral presentations were scheduled over the course of three days, including twelve in a joint session with the Symposium on Ferroelectric Thin Films IV, and ten with the Symposium on Chemical Perspectives of Microelectronics Materials. In addition, 35 poster presentations were scheduled during one of the lively evening poster sessions. Of the seventy-three papers in this volume, twenty-five (or roughly 35%) came from outside the U.S. In the ferroelectric sections that follow, innovative work on new antiferroelectric- based actuators, SAW-based actuators and ferroelectric composites is presented. In addition, fundamental studies on the behavior of well-established piezoelectric compositions under severe mechanical or electrical drive conditions are discussed. Several papers highlight the incorporation of ferroelectric actuators into commercial products, including gyroscopes, actively damped automobile suspensions, and medical diagnostic equipment. jg p.11.

Several papers highlight the incorporation of ferroelectric actuators into commercial products, including gyroscopes, actively damped automobile suspensions, and medical diagnostic equipment. Among the magnetostrictive materials covered are the high-power magnetostrictive materials, namely the rare-earth and rare-earth-iron alloys, which exhibit large strain from cryogenic temperatures to 250'C.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The advent of lasers has made possible a number of optical-based systems and applications such as the compact disc (CD), laser printers, fiber optic communications, laser surgical instruments, etc. Unfortunately, while lasers permit these diverse applications, safety concerns must be addressed. A solution being pursued is the development of optical limiter materials that transmit at low intensities while changing their optical characteristics, e.g. absorption or index of refraction, when exposed to the laser's higher irradiances. Topics covered in this book relate directly to the computational design and synthesis of new optical molecules. Research on the design of limiter devices is also featured. Materials addressed include liquid crystals, organic polymers, organic dyes, C60, colloidal arrays and suspensions, transition metal oxides, semiconductors and photorefractive oxides. Topics include: modelling and solid state optical limiters; thin film and solid state optical limiters; saturable and reverse-saturable absorbers; liquid optical limiters and liquid crystalline and other optical limiters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interfacial science has rapidly expanded beyond the original realm of chemistry to include physics, mechanical and chemical engineering, biology, materials science, and other specialized sub-fields. All of these scientific disciplines come together in this book to share viewpoints and bridge gaps among the different approaches and methods presented. Discussions focus on how ultrasmall geometries can force a system to behave in ways significantly different than it behaves in bulk, how this difference affects molecular properties, and how it is probed. Topics include: probing confined systems; structure and dynamics of thin films; nanorheology; diffusion in porous systems; adsorption and phase transitions; and reaction dynamics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This long-standing proceedings series is highly regarded as a premier forum for the discussion of microelectronics reliability issues. In this fifth book, emphasis is on the fundamental understanding of failure phenomena in thin-film materials. Special attention is given to electromigration and mechanical stress effects. The reliability of thin dielectrics and hot carrier degradation of transistors are also featured. Topics include: modeling and simulation of failure mechanisms; reliability issues for submicron IC technologies and packaging; stresses in thin films/lines; gate oxides; barrier layers; electromigration mechanisms; reliability issues for Cu metallizations; electromigration and microstructure; electromigration and stress voiding in circuit interconnects; and resistance measurements of electromigration damage.
