Materials Research Society, 2008. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. The goal is to integrate the class III-V materials directly into the single wafer that is processed into a chip when silicon-based CMOS and compound semiconductors are combined to enhance performance without increasing cost. The 41 papers describe various approaches to overcoming major lattice and thermal expansion mismatches between the systems. (©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR) ... more information

Materials Research Society, 2000. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. Fifty-nine papers from a symposium held in San Francisco in April 2000. The papers encompass topics including applications, new ideas and magnetism, ferroelectrics and related materials, transparent conductors, and film deposition methods. Significant developments in each of these areas led the organizers to repeat the general symposium topic at the group's 2001 meeting; as a new understanding of basic materials properties is being combi... more information

Materials Research Society, 2000. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. The 39 papers introduce new methods of vapor deposition, address the mechanisms and in situ characterization techniques to observe them, and explore the application of modeling techniques to simulate the growth of vapor deposited structures and in situ sensors to validate those simulations. The invited papers cover challenges and opportunities of sensing material growth within production deposition tools, and the atomic layer deposition of t... more information

Materials Research Society, 2000. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. Contains 28 papers presented at the April 2000 symposium on the epitaxial growth of metals and oxides. One particular aspect highlighted is the use of in situ characterization techniques for enhancing the efficiency of materials development. Topics include control of variants in heteroepitaxy by substrate miscut, modeling of metal(100) homoepitaxial film growth at very low temperatures, in situ study of barrier layers using spectroscopic ell... more information

U. of Hawai'i Press, 2007. Paperback. New Book. Paperback. For this collection of 14 essays exploring readings of expressions of the Asian diaspora in literature and film, Ma (English, Michigan State U.) uses the term "montage" to metaphorically indicate that the work is intended to go beyond a strict comparative paradigm of East and West and instead to see "a montage-like complementarity of East and West at cultural intersections." The papers are arranged into seven sections ("... more information
