Description
This book is a compilation of papers from a 4th Oxford-Kobe materials seminar. It covers nanocrystalline materials, novel and magnetic nanomaterials, and their applications.
Nanocrystalline materials, featuring structures of the order 1-100 nm, exhibit remarkable structural, electrical, magnetic and optical properties, which can be exploited in a wide variety of structural and non-structural applications. Potential uses have been identified in the automotive, electronic, aerospace, clothing, chemical, fuel and lubrication industries, with applications ranging from flat panel displays to medical implants. Nanocrystalline Alloys, Novel and Magnetic Nanomaterials presents a comprehensive overview of this fast moving field, considering nanocrystalline and amorphous alloys; novel nanomaterials, including nanocomposites and nanotubes; and magnetic nanomaterials and their applications. Based on the 4th Oxford-Kobe materials seminar, this book brings together contributions from leading researchers in academia and industry throughout Europe and Japan.
