Characterization of Technological Materials

Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters BCI (WoS).The study of materials in terms of their effectiveness/usefulness in device application is important to the technological development of a country: countries which concentrate on the growth and characterization of technologically important materials become developed countries. Hence, the growth and characterization of new materials is very important to many countries. This especially topical volume on the Characterization of Technological Materials reports on the technology and characterization of important technological materials. The systems covered include thermo-electric materials, thin films, nano sensor materials and semiconductors.This volume will help to enhance understanding of the various materials and encourage new means for the further development and utilization of these materials.Physicists and materials scientists mostly from India but also Japan and China summarize the literature on methods of characterizing material important in current technology. Their topics include thermoelectric energy conversion and ceramic thermoelectics, material properties and preparation techniques of zinc oxide and gallium zinc oxide films, the synthesis and electron density of stannic oxide nanometer particles, removing malachite green and Bismark brown dyes by adsorption onto activated carbons.
