Product Description: This book is the first comprehensive treatment of hydrogen embrittlement of metallic materials, mainly of steels. The subject is increasingly important with regard to recent requirements for hydrogen energy equipment. Recent progress in revealing the nature of hydrogen embrittlement is remarkable, and this book provides students and researchers engaging in hydrogen problems with a comprehensive view of hydrogen embrittlement covering basic behaviors of hydrogen in materials and their various manifestations in degradation of mechanical properties...read more

Product Description: With the increasing world-energy demand there is a growing necessity for clean and renewable energy. The sun being one of the most abundant potential sources accounts for less than 1% of the global energy supply. The market for solar cells is one of the most strongly increasing markets, even though the prize of conventional solar cells is still quite high...read more

Product Description: Hermann Sicius beschreibt die Eigenschaften und Eigenheiten der Elemente der ersten Hauptgruppe (Wasserstoff und Alkalimetalle). Wasserstoff wurde vor 250 Jahren, die Metalle Lithium, Natrium und Kalium vor 200 Jahren entdeckt. Rubidium und Cäsium folgten 50 Jahre später, und Francium, dessen Isotope alle extrem kurzlebig sind, wurde 1939 erstmals beschrieben...read more

Product Description: This multi-author edited volume reviews the recent developments in boron chemistry, with a particular emphasis on the contribution of computational chemistry. The contributors come from Europe, the USA and Asia. About 60% of the book concentrates on theoretical and computational themes whilst 40% is on topics of interest to experimental chemists...read more

Product Description: Natalija van Well fokussiert in ihrer Studie auf die Kristallzüchtung mit unterschiedlichen Parametern und die Charakterisierung der Kristalle des Mischsystems Cs2CuCl4–xBrx. Durch Synthese, Züchtung und Charakterisierung von solchen Materialien werden Erkenntnisse über die Systematik der Veränderung ihrer physikalischen Eigenschaften gewonnen...read more

Product Description: Dieses Essential bietet eine prägnante und umfassende Übersicht über die Elemente der dritten Hauptgruppe des Periodensystems, auch Borgruppe oder Erdmetalle genannt. Alle Elemente dieser Gruppe, mit Ausnahme des vor etwa zehn Jahren erstmals erzeugten Ununtriums, wurden erst im 19...read more
