This unique book provides important guidelines and examples of ways STEM (e. g., science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) faculty and administration can collaborate towards goals of recruiting, mentoring, and promoting leadership to academic women faculty. Based on the experiences of faculty across five Florida universities, including one national laboratory, each chapter highlights one aspect of a multi-institutional collaboration on an NSF ADVANCE-PAID grant dedicated to achieving these three goals. Highlighting the importance of coordination, integration, and flexibility, each chapter details strategies and challenges of establishing a multi-site collaboration, assessing climate...

The MRS Symposium Proceeding series is an internationally recognised reference suitable for researchers and practitioners. This book is a snapshot of the state of the art in nanoindentation and nanotribology, and highlights emerging topics including the development of new methods for characterizing nanoscale mechanical and tribological properties.
Interest in wide-bandgap semiconductors for high-power/high-temperature electronics remains prominent. For such applications, SiC is by far the most mature semiconductor material. GaN and diamond, however, have also become prime candidates. While diamond has several advantages over the other two materials, producing large single crystals, as well as the inability to achieve n-type doping, have limited device fabrication. For GaN, recent advances in crystal growth and processing capabilities, as well as excellent transport properties, have yielded a great deal of device development, yet thermal conduction remains an issue. SiC has excellent thermal conductivity, high-breakdown voltages, and well-developed substrates and processing techniques. This book deals with a wide range of technical activity in the area of wide-bandgap high-power/high-temperature electronic devices and covers topics including the fabrication and performance of GaN-based and SiC-based devices, as well as issues related to growth, characterization, and processing of wide-bandgap materials. Several summaries of the current status of the field are provided.
Topics in this volume include: antenna beamforming using optical processor; novel optical techniques for phased-array processing; and optically-controlled phased array radar receiver using SLM switched real time delays.
Advances in silicon carbide materials, processing and device design have recently resulted in implementation of SiC-based electronic systems and offer great promise in high-voltage, high-temperature and high-frequency applications. This volume focuses on new developments in basic science of SiC materials as well as rapidly maturing device technologies. The challenges in this field include understanding and decreasing defect densities in bulk SiC crystals, controlling morphology and residual impurities in epilayers, optimization of implant activation and oxide-SiC interfaces, and developing novel device structures. This book brings together the crystal growers, physicists and device experts needed to continue the rapid pace of silicon-carbide-based technology. Topics include: epitaxial growth; characterization/defects; MOS technology; SiC processing and devices.
