This book describes wave propagation in magneto-dielectric materials. The text considers the magnetic state of a magnetic ion, for example, at the atomic scale, and provides a mathematical link to wave propagation at the macroscopic scale. It presents qualitative and quantitative arguments to calculate magnetic parameters from first principles.

In response to the evolution and increased interdisciplinarity and interdependency of different engineering and science fields, Electronic, Magnetic, and Optical Materials takes a necessarily critical, all-encompassing approach to introducing the fundamentals of electronic, magnetic, and optical properties of materials to students who major or minor in sciences or engineering. Written to weave the underlying science and engineering aspects, the book maintains a careful balance between fundamentals (i.e., underlying physicsrelated concepts) and technological aspects (manufacturing of devices, materials processing, etc.) to cover applications for a variety of fields, including: • • • • • • • • • •

Nanoscience Electromagnetics Semiconductors Optoelectronics Fiber optics Microelectronic circuit design Photovoltaics Dielectric ceramics Ferroelectrics, piezoelectrics, and pyroelectrics Magnetic materials

Building upon his almost 20 years of experience as a professor, Fulay integrates engineering concepts with technological aspects of materials used in the electronics, magnetics, and photonics industries. This introductory book concentrates on fundamental topics and discusses applications to numerous real-world technological examples—from computers to credit cards to optic fibers—that will appeal to readers at any level of understanding. Where most books on the subject are geared toward specialists (e.g. semiconductors), this long overdue text is a more wide-ranging overview that offers an insight into the steadily fading distinction between devices and materials. It is well-suited for junior or seniorlevel undergraduate or first-year graduate students and readers working in industry, regardless of their background or level of experience.

Corrosion

Fundamentals of Corrosion Mechanisms, Causes, and Preventative Methods

Corrosion Engineering Handbook Second Edition (Three-Volume Set)

Philip A. Schweitzer, P.E.

Consultant, York, Pennsylvania, USA

Billions of dollars are spent annually for the replacement of corroded structures, machinery, and components. Premature failure of bridges or structures due to corrosion can also result in human injury, loss of life, and collateral damage.

Corrosion can be both costly and dangerous, resulting in product contamination or loss as well as structural instability and premature failure. This handbook contains information necessary for ensuring that, regardless of the structure being built, the materials selected for construction will minimize corrosion and its consequences. Nearly twice the size of its best-selling predecessor, the Corrosion Engineering Handbook, Second Edition has been updated and expanded into a set of three self-contained volumes. Each individual book offers detailed coverage tailored to specialists in the field. Taken together, this handbook set is the most comprehensive and authoritative reference in the field.

Written by an authority in corrosion science, Fundamentals of Corrosion: Mechanisms, Causes, and Preventative Methods comprehensively describes the causes of corrosion—and the means to limit or prevent it. Engineers, designers, architects, and all those involved with the selection of construction materials will relish a reference that provides such a thorough yet basic illustration of the causes, prevention, and control of corrosion. This reference explores: • Mechanisms and forms of corrosion • Methods of attack on plastic materials • Causes of failure in protective coatings, linings, and paints • Development of new alloys with corrosionresistant properties Exposure to the atmosphere is one of the largest problems and biggest causes of corrosion that engineers and designers face in construction. It has been further estimated that the cost of protection against atmospheric corrosion accounts for approximately half the total cost of all corrosion protection methods. This book places special emphasis on the topic and presents vital information regarding the design of structures, automobiles, household plumbing, manufacturing equipment, and other entities, as well as the effects of de-icing chemicals on highways and bridges. Catalog no. 67702, January 2010, 416 pp. ISBN: 978-1-4200-6770-5, $129.95 / £82.00

The handbook examines all the aspects necessary for understanding and mitigating potential corrosion problems. It covers mechanisms of corrosion and corrosion-resistant properties of various materials. It also contains detailed coverage of proper fabrication and installation techniques, methods for preventing corrosion, and techniques for testing and monitoring corrosion and processing conditions.

Metals & Alloys New!

Mechanisms of Diffusional Phase Transformations in Metals and Alloys H.I. Aaronson Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA

M. Enomoto Ibaraki University, Hitachi city, Japan

J.K. Lee Michigan Technological University, Houghton, Michigan, USA

Developed by the late metallurgy professor and master experimentalist Hubert I. Aaronson, this collection of lecture notes details the fundamental principles of phase transformations in metals and alloys upon which steel and other metals industries are based. Mechanisms of Diffusional Phase Transformations in Metals and Alloys is devoted to solid-solid phase transformations in which elementary atomic processes are diffusional jumps, and these processes occur in a series of so-called nucleation and growth through interface migration. Instead of relying strictly on a pedagogical approach, it documents the evolution of phase transformation concepts. The authors present topics by describing a phenomenon and then following up with a corresponding hypothesis or alternative explanation. In this way, the book also shows how the field continues to evolve and meet new challenges. Integrated with information from a number of key papers and review articles, this volume reflects this revered and influential instructor’s unique and passionate way of introducing wellestablished theories and knowledge in a systematic way, at the same time introducing, in great detail, how a new idea or interpretation of a phenomenon has emerged, evolved, and gained its current status. If the published version of a theory or a model was too condensed, Aaronson worked the problem out in painstaking detail so that graduate students could follow the derivations. This collection is full of such unique “Aaronsonian idiosyncrasies,” which add immense value as a powerful tool for learning in this challenging materials field.

Hiroaki Masuda, Ko Higashitani, and Hideto Yoshida The Powder Technology Handbook, Third Edition provides a comprehensive guide to powder technology while examining the fundamental engineering processes of particulate technology. The book offers a well-rounded perspective on powder technologies that extends from particle to powder and from basic problems to actual applications. Providing comprehensive coverage of powder/particle handling methods and unit operations, this handbook prepares the reader for solving new problems using an integrated approach. By presenting problems in wet processes and particles in liquids alongside those encountered with dry powder processes, it offers strategies for finding the optimal solutions to problems in any context. The handbook contains sections on particle motion in fluids, design and formulation of composite particles, combustion and heating, electrostatic powder coating, attrition of a particle, breakage of aggregates, and the particle motion, rheology, and electrical properties of a powder bed. It also discusses recently developed areas of study such as simulation, surface analysis, and nanoparticles.
