It is essential to any scientist in the field as well as to any student engaged in a course of fundamental atomic physics. ... Read more

Product Description
The Seventeenth International Conference on the Physics of Electronic and Atomic Collisions was held in Brisbane, Australia, on 10-16 July 1991. This volume contains the invited papers presented at ICPEAC XVII by leading international researchers, including the opening lecture by R W Crompton on the early development of atomic collision physics in Australia. The proceedings are divided into a number of sections based on the various interactions, photoionization and detachment, clusters and exotic systems reflecting the broad scope of the conference. Seven papers were selected for inclusion in the hot topics section which concluded the conference. This volume is an exceptional reference work which provides an invaluable summary of the present state-of-the-art research. The book of abstracts of the contributed papers from ICPEAC XVII is also available from Adam Hilger, the book imprint of IOP Publishing. ... Read more

Product Description

The main goal of this book is to review at the nano and atomic scale the very complex scientific issues that pertain to the use of advanced high dielectric constant (high-k) materials in next generation semiconductor devices. One of the key obstacles to integrate this novel class of materials into Si nano-technology are the electronic defects in high-k dielectrics. It has been established that defects do exist in high-k dielectrics and they play an important role in device operation. The unique feature of this book is a special focus on the important issue of defects. The subject is covered from various angles, including silicon technology, processing aspects, materials properties, electrical defects, microstructural studies, and theory. The authors who have contributed to the book represents a diverse group of leading scientists from academic, industrial and governmental labs worldwide who bring a broad array of backgrounds (basic and applied physics, chemistry, electrical engineering, surface science, and materials science). The contributions to this book are accessible to both expert scientists and engineers who need to keep up with leading edge research, and newcomers to the field who wish to learn more about the exciting basic and applied research issues relevant to next generation device technology.

Product Description
The physical basis and applications of intense resonant interactions of laser light with matter are dealt with in this volume. For senior students and researchers working experimentally or theoretically in the domain of intense resonant interactions, the course gives a broad survey and detailed treatment of the topic using modern mathematical methods which are put into clear physical form. Similarities and differences in the various interaction processes are outlined, and each chapter begins with a qualitative description of the phenomenon under study. All phenomena are considered from one general view- point, requiring knowledge only of basic quantum mechanics. ... Read more
