Chromic Phenomena
Author: Peter Bamfield
Publisher: Royal Society of Chemistry
ISBN: 1849731039
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 583
Book Description
"Chromic phenomena, or those produced by materials which exhibit colour in response to a chemical or physical stimulus, have increasingly been at the heart of 'high-tec' developments in a variety of fields in the last decade. Many of the newer technologies, which are at the cutting edge of research, are multi-disciplinary, involving researchers from areas as diverse as physics, biology, materials science and electronic engineering. Chromic Phenomena covers five main areas: * Colour change materials, such as photochromic, thermochromic and electrochromic materials * Materials which absorb and reflect light - the classical dyes and pigments * Luminescent phenomena, including phosphorescence, fluorescence and electroluminescence * Materials which absorb light and transfer energy, eg photosensitisers, infra-red absorbers and laser-addressable compounds * Phenomena involving the manipulation of light by chemicals, such as liquid crystals, lustre pigments, optoelectronics and photonics Providing an entry point both for new researchers and for established ones, this book, with its emphasis on the technological applications of these chromic phenomena, develops and investigates new applications for colour chemistry. It will be of interest to industrialists and professionals in the biological, medicinal, electronics/telecommunications and colorant industries, as well as academics in these fields."

Principles of Chemical Vapor Deposition
Author: Daniel Dobkin
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9781402012488
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
Principles of Chemical Vapor Deposition provides a simple introduction to heat and mass transfer, surface and gas phase chemistry, and plasma discharge characteristics. In addition, the book includes discussions of practical films and reactors to help in the development of better processes and equipment. This book will assist workers new to chemical vapor deposition (CVD) to understand CVD reactors and processes and to comprehend and exploit the literature in the field. The book reviews several disparate fields with which many researchers may have only a passing acquaintance, such as heat and mass transfer, discharge physics, and surface chemistry, focusing on key issues relevant to CVD. The book also examines examples of realistic industrial reactors and processes with simplified analysis to demonstrate how to apply the principles to practical situations. The book does not attempt to exhaustively survey the literature or to intimidate the reader with irrelevant mathematical apparatus. This book is as simple as possible while still retaining the essential physics and chemistry. The book is generously illustrated to assist the reader in forming the mental images which are the basis of understanding.
