High Pressure Surface Science and Engineering

Bringing together contributions from experts in their respective subjects, High Pressure Surface Science covers experimental measurement techniques, simulation of pressure induced phase transformations, amorphization, and tribology. The first three chapters of the book describe a variety of experimental methods and simulation techniques used in the study of phase transformations. It goes on to consider phase transformations in different materials, namely semiconductors, pseudocrystals and ceramics. The remaining chapters of ... Read More

Bringing together contributions from experts in their respective subjects, High Pressure Surface Science covers experimental measurement techniques, simulation of pressure induced phase transformations, amorphization, and tribology. The first three chapters of the book describe a variety of experimental methods and simulation techniques used in the study of phase transformations. It goes on to consider phase transformations in different materials, namely semiconductors, pseudocrystals and ceramics. The remaining chapters of the book consider pressure-induced amorphization, dynamic loading, ductile regime machining and solid state transformations in tribological processes. Read Less
