8. High k Gate Dielectrics

   Edited by Michel Houssa

   Series: Series in Material Science and Engineering

   The drive toward smaller and smaller electronic componentry has huge implications for the materials currently being used. As quantum mechanical effects begin to dominate, conventional materials will be unable to function at scales much smaller than those in current use. For this reason, new...

9. High Pressure Surface Science and Engineering

   Edited by Yury Gogotsi, V. Domnich

   Series: Series in Material Science and Engineering

   In many instances of mechanical interaction between two materials, the physicalcontact affects only the outermost surface layer, with little discernible influence on the bulk of the material. The resultant high pressures in these localised regimes can induce surface structural changes such as...
