Defect engineering has come of age. That theme is well documented by both the academic and industrial research communities in this book from MRS. Going beyond defect control, the book explores the engineering of desired properties in semiconductor materials and devices through the deliberate introduction and manipulation of defects and impurities. Papers are grouped around ten distinct topics covering materials, processing and devices. Topics include: grown-in defects in bulk crystals; grown-in defects in thin films; gettering and related phenomena; hydrogen interaction with semiconductors; defect issues in widegap semiconductors; defect characterization; ion implantation and process-induced defects; defects in devices; interfaces, quantum wells and superlattices; and defect properties, reaction, activation and passivation.

The field of magnetic ultrathin films continues to be an exciting and rapidly expanding one, as demonstrated by recent advances in giant magnetoresistance (GMR), exchange-coupled structures, and magnetic anisotropies. New GMR materials, such as Mn perovskites, have been developed, and new effects, such as exchange coupling through semiconducting interlayers, non-Heisenberg-type coupling, perpendicular GMR, and hot electron spin-valve effects, have been discovered. This book from MRS offers an international perspective on the expanding activity, and features developments in both fundamental and applied areas. Topics include: novel magnetic nanostructures and applications; growth, structure and interfaces; interlayer coupling; magnetic anisotropy; ultrathin films, magnetic domains; giant magnetoresistance; colossal magnetoresistance; spectroscopies, magneto-optical properties and granular nanostructures.

It is clear that concern for the preservation of the environment is growing. The IC industry is reputed to be a clean one, and the introduction of electronic systems has played a pivotal role in developing technologies that help to protect the environment. However, it must also be realized that the electronic industry consumes huge amounts of energy, chemicals, technical gases and even water. This book provides an overview of the available scientific information on environmentally benign IC production. A broad range of topics is addressed including work on resource reduction for chemicals, gases and DI water, reuse or recycling of chemicals, waste treatment strategies, environmentally friendly alternative technologies and analytical technologies for environmental studies. Undoubtedly, environmental concerns are leading to drastic changes in state-of-the-art processing, and new technologies are emerging from the strive towards lowering the environmental impact of the IC industry.

This book provides an international and interdisciplinary forum for the discussion of advances in the research of nanophase and nanocomposites. The term 'nanophase' refers to nanoscale particles of one phase, whereas the term 'nanocomposite'refers to a composite of more than one Gibbsian solid phase where at least one dimension is in the nanometer range. The book, the second in a series, features reports showing that bulk materials with nanostructure (‹ 0.5µm) often have enhanced and unique properties when compared to their coarse-structured (›1µm) equivalents. A wide range of science and engineering disciplines are represented, with topics ranging from synthesis and processing, to properties and applications. Topics include: nanophase oxides; nanophase metals, alloys and non-oxides; nanophases - simulation studies; magnetic and metal nanocomposites; oxide, non-oxide and oxide-metal nanocomposites; organic-inorganic and sol-gel nanocomposites; and nanocomposites of layered and mesoporous materials.

Many advances in research and development have been made since the first MRS symposium on high-temperature ordered intermetallic alloys was held in 1984. That conference demonstrated a resurgence of interest in potential uses of intermetallic alloys for structural applications. Blossoming research in the field brings us to this book which has focused specifically on processing and microstructural control, alloy design, mechanical properties and industrial applications. Examples of structural applications of the 'mature' intermetallics, TiAl and Ni3Al are also featured. Evidence also suggests that high-melting-temperature refractory or platinum group metal-based intermetallics, still in the 'exotic' category, may yet represent the best potential for a breakthrough in high-temperature performance. Topics include: processing; titanium aluminides; creep and fatigue of titanium aluminides; iron aluminides; nickel aluminides; refractory metal-based and other intermetallics and composites.

The primary goal of a materials scientist is a predictive understanding of materials properties and that requires a clear picture of the role played by electrons in determining the materials' behavior. Only then can one hope to design and build new materials with desired physical, chemical and engineering characteristics. Research is carried out on the basis of quantum mechanics, through solution of the so-called single-particle Schrödinger equation that describes the behavior of electrons in a solid. This book describes one formal approach to solving the Schrödinger equation developed within the framework of multiple scattering theory (MST). It offers a comprehensive and welcome entrée to the field of electronic structure of solids and should serve as a treatise for advanced undergraduates, graduate students and researchers in the field. Topics Include: concepts and formalism; periodic solids and impurities; substitutional alloys; surfaces and interfaces; transport; phonons and photons and formal Green-function theory.

Symposium II, 'Ion Beams - New Applications from Mesoscale to Nanoscale', was held at the 2011 MRS Spring Meeting, April 25-29, in San Francisco, California. This symposium welcomed presentations on ion-beam engineering and characterization of materials properties, structure, topography and functionality, spanning dimensions from the mesoscale to the nanoscale. While the unique capabilities of ion-beam techniques in the diverse emerging fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology are fast becoming critical for many new applications, the flexibility of ion-beam techniques now enables the development of tools that can integrate tailoring of nanoscale patterns and structures with unique in-situ imaging and analysis. This recent evolution has energized new programs, both basic and applied, in fast-developing areas ranging over advanced semiconductor integration, information storage, sensors, plasmonics, molecular engineering, biomaterials and many aspects of the development of alternative energy resources. We should pause occasionally and review the overall state of the field, its emerging opportunities and challenges.

For almost two decades now, the carbon nanomaterial (CNM) system has persistently provided researchers the opportunity for spectacular new discoveries, significant advances in fundamental and applied science, and the development of disruptive technologies and applications. The rich allotropicity of carbon bonding can explain the broad use of carbon-based materials such as carbon nanotubes (CNT), diamond, fullerenes, and more recently graphene. Today's research community continues to discover and harness new low-dimensional carbon allotropes, perhaps at a historically unprecedented rate. These exciting developments and others are covered in this volume and will be relevant and useful when carrying out fundamental research in the areas of carbon nanoscience and 2D systems.
