has announced the addition of the "Structural
and Chemical Characterization of Metal Alloys and Compounds - 2011:
Volume 1372. MRS Proceedings" report to their offering.
This Materials Research Society Proceedings contains papers presented at
Symposium 3 'Structural and Chemical Characterization of Metals, Alloys
and Compounds' of the XX International Materials Research Congress. This
event is intended as a forum for the dissemination of research results
on materials science. The volume covers several aspects of the
structural and chemical characterisation of the materials in the
following areas: metals, alloys, ceramics, steels, composites, polymeric
compounds, welding, nanomaterials and surface coatings, among others.
They are amorphous, crystalline, powders, fibres, thin films, etc. which
were prepared with different techniques. The structural characterisation
techniques included scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray
diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force
microscopy (AFM), optical microscopy (OM), mechanical characterisation,
atomic absorption, luminescence, thermoluminescence, energy transfer,
photorefractive effect, birefringence, photo catalysis,
photoconductivity, birefringence, laser emission and so on. Theoretical
models from these properties are included as well.
