DOWNLOAD EBOOKChallenges facing the implementation of an affordable tunable RF and microwave device technology are discussed in these papers from an April 2002 meeting. Materials issues and devices are examined, with information on new tunable materials, issues of preparation and optimization of bulk and think film properties, material and surface characterization, evaluation of material loss and loss mechanisms, and effects of microstructure. At the device level, phase shifters are discussed and a new device concept for variable true time delay versus phase shift is introduced. At the system level, a paraelectric lens is used to demonstrate electronic beam steering of an antenna. Tidrow is affiliated with the US Army Research Laboratory.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMicroelectromechanical systems (MEMS) can be a critical link between the macroworld and the realm of nanobiotechnology. Top-down MEMS methods and devices will likely serve as an important handle for interfacing with the bottom-up techniques and structures that typify nanobiotechnology. This volume focuses on recent advances in the fields of MEMS and BioMEMS, including microfluidics, bioanalysis, packaging, materials and fabrication methods. It is clear from these presentations that top-down semiconductor-based processing remains vital. Indeed, frontiers are expanding within this realm, with new research on materials like poly-SiGe. However, new materials, particularly polymers, and bottom-up methods such as soft lithography and chemical synthesis, are continually gaining in utility and importance. It is also apparent from this volume that microanalytical techniques continue to be advanced, including new ways of separating samples by optical, adhesion-based and dielectrophoretic methods. And sensors, always of interest, are demonstrated here by research into sensors for environmental and material analysis. Capacitance-based sensors for DNA analysis, and magnetic sensors for position sensing, are also highlighted. Finally, systems for direct interfacing with biological systems are addressed, with presentations on neural recording methods, retinal implants, and tissue engineering.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book focuses on the deliberate introduction and manipulation of defects and impurities in order to engineer desired properties in semiconductor materials and devices. In view of current exciting developments in wide-bandgap semiconductors like GaN for blue light emission, as well as high-speed and high-temperature electronics, dopant and defect issues relevant to these materials are addressed. Also featured are semiconductor nanocavities and nano-structures, with emphasis on the formation and impact of vacancy-type defects. Defect reaction problems pertaining to impurity gettering, precipitation and hydrogen passivation are specific examples of defect engineering that improve the electronic quality of the material. A number of papers also deal with characterization techniques needed to study and to identify defects in materials and device structures. Finally, papers also address issues such as interface control and passivation, application of ion implantation, plasma treatment and rapid thermal processing for creating/activating/suppressing trap levels, and device applications.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn recent years, numerical simulation and modeling of materials coupling multiple-length scales has received much attention. While challenges remain, significant advances have been made. An equally important area of materials modeling, one that has received much less attention, is the integration of multiple physical phenomena for simulation of complex materials behavior. This volume offers a review of current capabilities in materials modeling and simulation that (1) bridge length scales and time scales and (2) couple a variety of physical phenomena to either provide insight into fundamental aspects of materials structure or predict materials behavior. By bringing together the materials modeling community from around the world, the volume provides a current snapshot of the field. Topics include: multiscale modeling; mechanical properties; transport phenomena; phase transformations; microstructure and its evolution; atomistic modeling; and materials structure and properties.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis volume contains the proceedings of two symposia held at the 2002 MRS Spring Meeting in San Francisco. Molecular imprinting (MI) technology has attracted much attention and enjoyed tremendous development over the past decade. MI technology enables the preparation of materials with host sites that recognize specific guest molecules, analogous to the "lock-and-key" paradigm of antibodies and enzymes. Advantages of molecularly imprinted materials include: a degree of specificity approaching that of antibodies but with much greater temporal and thermal stability; rapid development because precise molecular design and chemical synthesis are unnecessary; and wide applicability because materials may be imprinted with almost any shape-persistent analyte of interest. Papers from Symposium M, "Molecularly Imprinted Materials, focus primarily on the fabrication of functional materials and devices based on MI materials. Studies are presented not only by experts in MI, but more importantly, by materials scientists integrating molecular imprinting with cutting-edge techniques in microfabrication and nanotechnology.
