Zeev Valy Vardeny University of Utah, Salt Lake City, USA
A valuable asset in determining the present state of knowledge of indium nitride (InN), this comprehensive reference provides insight into its growth, structural, optical, and electronic properties. It combines all data since the 2001 discovery of 0.7 eV as the accepted value of the band gap of InN. Drawing from both theoretical and experimental perspectives, the expert authors cover the temperature insensitive transport properties of InN and apply InN to a wide range of device applications. They also discuss the high free electron density and the lack of a lattice-matched substrate -- two problems a user needs to know.
Organic spintronics have flourished in the area of organic magneto-transport. Reflecting the main avenues of advancement in this arena, this volume explores spin injection and manipulation in organic spin valves, the magnetic field effect in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), and the spin transport effect in relation to spin manipulation. It also examines organic magnets as spin injection electrodes in organic spintronics devices, the coherent control of spins in organic devices using electronically detected magnetic resonance, and the possibility of using organic spin valves as sensors.

Multiphase Polymer-Based Materials
Technical University of Lodz, Poland
An Atlas of Phase Morphology at the Nano and Micro Scale
This atlas contains over 500 microscopy pictures of micro and nanopolymer blends, micro and nanocomposites, micro and nano phases in copolymers, and thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs).
Copiously illustrated, this book provides a comprehensive survey of the fundamental processes occurring in the conception, spread, and extinguishment of a flame. Taking readers through the stages of combustion, the expert contributors visually display, mathematically explain, and clearly theorize on important physical topics of combustion, such as flammability limits, instability, and quenching. They examine both the historical and present understanding of several fundamental problems of combustion. An accompanying CDROM presents numerous color photographs which reveal various combustion phenomena.
