Written by recognized leaders in this dynamic and rapidly expanding field, Indium Nitride and Related Alloys provides a comprehensive summary of the present state of knowledge in indium nitride (InN) research. It elucidates and clarifies the often confusing and contradictory scientific literature to provide valuable and rigorous insight into the structural, optical, and electronic properties of this quickly emerging semiconductor material and its related alloys. Drawing from both theoretical and experimental perspectives, it provides a thorough review of all data since 2001, when the band gap of InN was first identified as 0.7 eV. Explores the challenges and potential in this growing field The superior transport and optical properties of InN and its alloys offer tremendous potential for a wide range of device applications, including high-efficiency solar cells and chemical sensors. However, with unsolved problems including high free electron density, difficulty in characterizing p-type doping, and the lack of a lattice-matched substrate, indium nitride remains perhaps the least understood III-V semiconductor. Covering the epitaxial growth, experimental characterization, theoretical understanding, and device potential of this semiconductor and its alloys, this book is essential reading for established researchers and those new to the field.

Supported by extensive analytical evidence, this book details what rubber friction is and why it behaves the way it does. With numerous figures and quantitative examples, it illustrates how to analyze rubber friction in an accurate, predictive manner. The author reveals that the laws of metallic friction do not apply to rubber and presents a scientifically-based unified theory for the behavior of rubber friction. He also demonstrates the existence of a fourth basic rubber friction force (surface deformation hysteresis) and addresses the design and analysis of specific rubber products.

In surface engineering, the Kelvin probe is considered the most powerful non-destructive technique used to understand active and passive surfaces and interfaces. This volume is the first complete source of information on the Kelvin probe. While the equipment can be easily fabricated, until now engineers have lacked ready access to what this text provides: systematic documentation on design and fabrication. Just as significantly, this authoritative volume also explains how to interpret Kelvin probe data. It guides readers through the basics of design and builds their capacity for analysis through the use of case studies.
Highlighting mechanical properties and failure mechanisms, this book covers the availability and processing of natural fiber polymer composites and their structural, thermal, mechanical, and tribological properties. It discusses sources of natural fibers and the thermal, structural, mechanical, spectroscopic, and morphological properties of unmodified and chemically modified natural fibers. The author introduces the tribology of polymer composites and describes how reinforcement and fillers modify their tribological properties. He then covers the chemical composition, physical structure, mechanical properties, and tribological behavior of polymer reinforced composites.
