Indium Nitrideand RelatedAlloysEdited by

T.D. Veal and C.F. McConvilleUniversity of Warwick, Coventry, UK

W.J. SchaffCornell University, Ithaca, New York, USA

Written by recognized leaders in this dynamicand rapidly expanding field, Indium Nitride andRelated Alloys provides a clear and comprehen-sive summary of the present state of knowledgein indium nitride (InN) research. It elucidatesand clarifies the often confusing and contradic-tory scientific literature to provide valuable andrigorous insight into the structural, optical, andelectronic properties of this quickly emergingsemiconductor material and its related alloys.Drawing from both theoretical and experimen-tal perspectives, it provides a thorough review ofall data since 2001 when the band gap of InNwas identified as 0.7 eV. The superior transport and optical properties ofInN and its alloys offer tremendous potential fora wide range of device applications, includinghigh-efficiency solar cells and chemical sensors.Indeed, the now established narrow band gapnature of InN means that the InGaN alloys coverthe entire solar spectrum and InAlN alloys spanfrom the infrared to the ultraviolet. However,with unsolved problems including high freeelectron density, difficulty in characterizing p-type doping, and the lack of a lattice-matchedsubstrate, indium nitride remains perhaps theleast understood III-V semiconductor. Covering the epitaxial growth, experimentalcharacterization, theoretical understanding, anddevice potential of this semiconductor and itsalloys, this book is essential reading for bothestablished researchers and those new to thefield.

Coatings & Thin Films

MagnetoLuminousChemical VaporDepositionHirotsugu YasudaUniversity of Missouri-Columbia,USA

Series: Green Chemistry andChemical Engineering

The magneto luminous chemical vapor deposi-tion (MLCVD) method is the perfect example ofthe "front-end green process." It employs anentirely new process that expends the minimumamount of materials in gas phase, yields virtual-ly no effluent, and therefore requires no envi-ronmental remediation. Unlike the "back-endgreen process," which calls for add-on processesto deal with effluent problems, the newerMLCVD approach is a completely different phe-nomenon that has never been adequatelydescribed, until now.Dispelling previous misconceptions and reveal-ing new areas for investigation, MagnetoLuminous Chemical Vapor Deposition describesthe key process of dielectric breakdown of gasmolecules under the influence of a magneticfield. It emphasizes behavioral distinctionsbetween molecular gasses that cause plasmapolymerization (such as methane and trimethyl-silane) and mono-atomic gases (e.g., heliumand argon) when dealing with the dielectricbreakdown of the gas phase under low pressure.The author also reveals his minimum perturba-tion theory of biocompatibility. This is based onthe realization that nanofilms prepared usingMLCVD have unique, stable interfacial charac-teristics necessary to achieve a surface that canbe tolerated in various biological environments. The author presents alternating views based onNASA’s recent discovery that a magnetic fieldburst from the earth triggers the inception of theaurora borealis. Detailing similarities betweenthis phenomenon and the inception of the mag-neto luminous gas phase described in this book,the author proposes that proof of the one occur-rence could shed light on the other. Expandingon the author’s previous works, this book intro-duces new discoveries, highlights the newfounderrors of previous assumptions, and juxtaposesmany alternative views and anomalies associatedwith the field.

Materials Processing

Tribology ofInterface LayersHooshang HeshmatMohawk Innovative Technology,Inc., Albany, New York, USA

Many tribological devices act as viable bearingsin contrast to basic hydrodynamic theory.Similarly, powder films possess quasi-hydrody-namic features that enable them to act as con-ventional fluid film bearings. These phenomenahave led to a novel definition of lubricants asintermediate layers, which are detailed in thisbook. It illustrates that the various lubricationmodes, from dry to hydrodynamic to powderlubrication, overlap to such a degree that theyexist on a tribological spectrum. Based on exper-imental and theoretical work, this text showshow the interdependence of powder and hydro-dynamic lubrication exemplify this continuum intribological processes.

• Shows how submicron powder lubricantsshare similar characteristics with conventionalfluid films

• Explains how, instead of being harmful,debris produced by wear can actually bemade to act as a lubricant

Series: Manufacturing Engineering and Materials Processing

A comprehensive treatise on the hot working of alu-minum and its alloys, Hot Deformation andProcessing of Aluminum Alloys details the possiblemicrostructural developments that can occur withhot deformation of various alloys, as well as the kindof mechanical properties that can be anticipated.The authors take great care to explain and differenti-ate hot working in the context of other elevatedtemperature phenomena, such as creep, superplas-ticity, cold working, and annealing. They also payparticular attention to the fundamental mechanismsof aluminum plasticity at hot working temperatures. Using extensive analysis derived from polarized lightoptical microscopy (POM), transmission electronmicroscopy (TEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD) scanningelectron-microscopy with electron backscatter imag-ing (SEM-EBSD), and orientation imagingmicroscopy (OIM), the authors examine thosemicrostructures that evolve in torsion, compression,extrusion, and rolling. Further microstructural analy-sis leads to detailed explanations of dynamic recov-ery (DRV), static recovery (SRV), discontinuousdynamic recrystallization (dDRX), discontinuous stat-ic recrystallization (dSRX), grain defining dynamicrecovery (gDRV) (formerly geometric dynamicrecrystallization, or gDRX), and continuous dynamicrecrystallization involving both a single phase(cDRX/1-phase) and multiple phases (cDRX/2-phase).A companion to other works that focus on modeling,manufacturing involving plastic and superplasticdeformation, and control of texture and phase trans-formations, this book provides thorough explana-tions of microstructural development to lay the foun-dation for further study of the mechanisms of ther-momechanical processes and their application.

Physical Metallurgy of Direct Chill Casting of Aluminum AlloysDmitry G. EskinBrunel University, Uxbridge, United Kingdom

Series: Advances in Metallic Alloys

Pulling together information previously scatteredthroughout numerous research articles into onedetailed resource, Physical Metallurgy of Direct ChillCasting of Aluminum Alloys connects the funda-mentals of structure formation during solidificationwith the practically observed structure and defectpatterns in billets and ingots. The author examinesthe formation of a structure, properties, and defectsin the as-cast material in tight correlation to thephysical phenomena involved in the solidificationand the process parameters.

The book draws on the author’s advanced researchto provide a unique application of physical metallur-gy to direct chill (DC) casting technology. He exam-ines structure and defect formation—includingmacrosegregation and hot tearing. Each technology-centered chapter provides historical backgroundbefore reviewing current developments. The authorsupports his conclusions with computer simulationresults that have been correlated with highly pro-gressive experimental data. He presents a logical sys-tem of structure and defect formation based on thespecific features of the DC casting process. He alsodemonstrates that the seemingly controversialresults reported in literature are, in fact, caused bythe different ratio of the same mechanisms.

Compiling recent results and data, the book discuss-es the fundamentals of solidification together withmetallurgical and technological aspects of DC cast-ing. It gives insight and perspective into DC castingresearch.

• Provides historical overviews of the developmentand materials science behind various aspects ofDC casting

• Defines the links among process parameters,structure features, and defect formation

• Discusses different mechanisms for defect formation during DC casting, includingmacrosegregation and hot tearing

Contractsfor Engineers: Intellectual Property, Standards,and Ethics is a tool to enhance their ability tocommunicate contractual issues to lawyers—and then better understand the legal advice theyreceive.Building on its exploration of contracts, thisbook expands discussion to:

• Patents, copyrights, trademarks, tradesecrets, and other intellectual property issues

• Development of standards and the bodiesthat govern them, as well as conformityassessment and accreditation

• Ethics at both the micro and macro levels—aconcept under major scrutiny after severalmajor disasters, including the Gulf of Mexicooil spill, the collapse of Boston’s Big Dig, anda coal-mining accident that resulted in manydeaths

With a brief introduction to common law con-tracts and their underlying principles, includingbasic examples, the book presents a sample ofthe Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) regardingthe sale of goods. It evaluates elements of thedifferent contracts that engineers commonlyencounter, such as employee and associatedconsulting agreements and contracts involved inconstruction and government. Approaching intellectual property from a con-tract perspective, this reference focuses on themany different types of patents and their role incommerce. It touches on the application oftrademarks and recent developments in the useof copyright as a form of contract and explainsthe process of obtaining patents, including therationale for investing in them. Ethical standardsreceive special attention, which includes areview of several prominent professional codesof ethics and conduct for both organizationsand individual engineers, particularly officersand higher-level managers.
