This handbook addresses the development of energy-efficient, environmentally friendly solid-state light sources, in particular gallium nitride (GaN)-based and related wide bandgap semiconductor light emitting diodes (LEDs) and other solid-state lighting (SSL) devices. It reflects the vast growth of ..

This advanced text provides a detailed introduction to high-field electrodynamics, from its fundamentals to some of its important modern applications. The author describes a broad collection of theoretical techniques, and where possible, approaches derivations by at least two different routes to yie..

Written by Uichiro Mizutani, a renowned authority on Hume-Rothery rules, this book focuses on the stability mechanism of structurally complex phases, beginning with the history, development, and final approach to the goal. It begins with a description of the history of the establishment of the Hume-..

This book consolidates the older and more recent concepts on weakly-interacting fermions where traditional many-body techniques are adequate. Targeting primarily the advanced undergraduates and graduates, the author has included plenty of examples and problems from contemporary topics of research...

A publication of the French Society of Microscopies, this book is devoted to an important aspect of electron diffraction. The description of convergent-beam electron diffraction and of LACBED is preceded by several preparatory chapters, in which the principles of diffraction and the nature of electr..

Designed to complement existing books on materials science theory, metallurgy, and electron microscopy, this resource focuses on the microstructure of metals and alloys. It details the steps involved in the microstructure development of metallic materials under external influences. The volume contai..

This text demonstrates the role and abilities of fluctuation in semiconductor physics, providing a comprehensive account of current results and addressing problems which have not previously been covered in Western literature...

A comprehensive review, this book details the basic structures and properties of one- and two-dimensional fluids and the nature of phase transitions. Beginning with an overview of one- and two-dimensional fluids, it goes on to consider the basic structures of these materials and their dynamical and ..
