Nanostructures in Ferroelectric Films for Energy Applications
Nanostructures in Ferroelectric Films for Energy Applications: Grains, Domains, Interfaces and Engineering Methods presents methods of engineering nanostructures in ferroelectric films to improve their performance in energy harvesting and conversion and storage. Ferroelectric films, which have broad applications, including the emerging energy technology, usually consist of nanoscale inhomogeneities. For polycrystalline films, the size and distribution of nano-grains determines the macroscopic properties, especially the field-induced polarization response. For epitaxial films, the energy of internal long-range electric and elastic fields during their growth are minimized by formation of self-assembled nano-domains. This book is an accessible reference for both instructors in academia and R&D professionals.
Advances in Cryogenic Engineering
In recent years, the technology of cryogenic comminution has been widely applied in the field of chemical engineering, food making, medicine production, and particularly in recycling of waste materials. Because of the increasing pollution of waste tires and the shortage of raw rubber resource, the recycling process for waste rubber products has become important and commercially viable. This technology has shown a great number of advantages such as causing no environmental pollution, requiring low energy consumption and producing high quality products. Hence, the normal crusher which was used to reclaim materials, such as waste tires, nylon, plastic and many polymer materials at atmospheric 1...

Advances in Cryogenic Engineering Materials
All papers have been peer-reviewed. The 2007 joint Cryogenic Engineering Conference and International Cryogenic Materials Conference (CEC-ICMC) was held at the Chattanooga Convention Center in Chattanooga, TN, from July 16th through 20th. Nearly 700 attendees from 28 countries came together to enjoy the joint technical programs, industrial exhibit, and special events. There were 382 papers presented in plenary, oral, and poster sessions. Papers in the ICMC part of the conference covered the physical and mechanical properties of metals & alloys at cryogenic temperatures, insulation materials used in magnets for large-scale applications, recent developments in the conventional low-temperature superconductors, YBCO coated conductors, Bi-based superconductors, and MgB2 conductors. Conductor stability & AC losses as well as superconductor applications were also covered at this conference. ICMC papers selected after peer review process are published by AIP as Conference Proceedings Volume 986. Readers will get the latest information on materials and their properties used in cryogenic temperatures in this volume.

Nuclear Production of Hydrogen
Hydrogen has the potential to play an important role as a sustainable and environmentally acceptable source of energy in the 21st century. However, current methods for producing hydrogen are based mainly on the reforming of fossil fuels with subsequent release of greenhouse gases. This report examines new developments in the nuclear production of hydrogen, including the possibility of using heat and surplus electricity from nuclear power plants to produce hydrogen by water cracking, and the scientific and technical challenges involved.
Materials for the Hydrogen Economy
Hydrogen offers a promising alternative for supplying clean and sustainable energy to meet increasing demands worldwide. However, materials are key to transforming the technology into a viable industry. Materials for the Hydrogen Economy describes the technical challenges and the current efforts in developing materials possessing the properties required for handling each stage of the hydrogen fuel chain. Thorough coverage offers newcomers as well as experienced engineers and researchers a reliable and fully scalable foundation in this field. This book covers all seven of the current hydrogen production methods, as well as distribution, storage, and utilization technologies, particularly fuel...
High-Temperature Superconductors-Crystal Chemistry, Processing and Properties: Volume 659
Papers from a symposium held in Boston Nov. 27-Dec. 1, 2000. Contributors, representing North America, Europe, and Asia, discuss fabrication, characterization, and phase relations in both first- generation (bismuth-based) and second-generation (yttrium-based) superconductors. Topics include recent progress and status of superconductors, processing for high-current critical densities, understanding current transport, processing for development of flux- pinning centers, phase relations/equilibrium, processing/microstructure relationships, and grain boundary properties.
