The research of functional materials has attracted extensive attention in recent years, and its advancement nitrifies the developments of modern sciences and technologies like green sciences and energy, aerospace, medical and health, telecommunications, and information technology. The present book aims to summarize the research activities carried out in recent years devoting to the understanding of the physics and chemistry of how the defects play a role in the electrical, optical and magnetic properties and the applications of the different functional materials in the fields of magnetism, optoelectronic, and photovoltaic etc.

This book emphasizes the importance of the fascinating atomistic insights into the defects and the impurities as well as the dynamic behaviors in silicon materials, which have become more directly accessible over the past 20 years. Such progress has been made possible by newly developed experimental methods, first principle theories, and computer simulation techniques. The book is aimed at young researchers, scientists, and technicians in related industries. The main purposes are to provide readers with 1) the basic physics behind defects in silicon materials, 2) the atomistic modeling as well as the characterization techniques related to defects and impurities in silicon materials, and 3) an overview of the wide range of the research fields involved.

Failure analysis has grown enormously in it scope and utility in recent years. Developments in materials characterization techniques have made the job of a failure analyst easier and more precise, but it still requires not only a strong background in materials science and engineering, but also practical experience--or at least a strong understandin

Treatise on Materials Science and Technology, Volume 11: Properties And Microstructure covers the parameters important to understanding microstructural effects. The book discusses the direct observation and characterization of defects in materials; the cause and effect of crystal defects in silicon integrated circuits; as well as the microstructure of some noncrystalline ceramics. The text also describes microstructural defects in the important semiconductors silicon and germanium, microstructural effects in glasses, microstructural effects on the mechanical properties of ceramics, and finally, microstructures in ferrites. Materials scientists, materials engineers, and graduate students taking related courses will find the book invaluable.
