The peer-reviewed papers brought together, in this special issue of Solid State Phenomena, are the outcome of the 16th International Conference on Internal Friction and Mechanical Spectroscopy, ICIFMS-16, held on the 3rd to 8th July 2011, in Lausanne, Switzerland. These proceedings aim to attract newcomers to this exciting field of research and lead them to appreciate the potential of anelastic methodologies in the investigation of advanced materials and new phenomena. Scientist who are already involved in the field will also find within new ideas which will stimulate their interest in developing new experiments and theories.

Selected, peer reviewed papers from the 2013 2nd International Conference on Materials Science & Technology (ICMST 2013), April 11-12, 2013, Hong Kong, China

The design and study of materials is a pivotal component to new discoveries in the various fields of science and technology. By better understanding the components and structures of materials, researchers can increase its applications across different industries. Materials Science and Engineering: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications is a compendium of the latest academic material on investigations, technologies, and techniques pertaining to analyzing the synthesis and design of new materials. Through its broad and extensive coverage on a variety of crucial topics, such as nanomaterials, biomaterials, and relevant computational methods, this multi-volume work is an essential reference source for engineers, academics, researchers, students, professionals, and practitioners seeking innovative perspectives in the field of materials science and engineering.

Special topic volume with invited peer-reviewed papers only

Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters BCI (WoS). Innovation in Materials Science - 2 reinforces the adage of John Dismukes that, “Scientific Technology” has progressively displaced “Empirical Technology”, as the primary driver and basis for increasing economic development over the last four centuries. Technical inventions, and innovations based upon technical ideas, remain the basic drivers for wealth-creation. However, the areas of current materials research have changed considerably between 2008, when the first volume was published, and now (2012). The collection of articles in Volume 2 reflects this change. An index of the articles published in the earlier collection, Innovation in Materials Science (2008 doi:10.4028/www.scientific.net/KEM.380) is also provided in order to comprehend the considerable changes which have occurred in the landscape of materials research over the past four years.

These are the fully refereed proceedings of the International Conference on Materials Science and Information Technology (MSIT 2011), held during the 16-18 September 2011 in Singapore. The main goal of the event was to provide an international scientific forum for the exchange of new ideas in a number of fields by permitting in-depth interaction via discussions with peers from around the world. Core areas of materials science and information technology, plus multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary aspects are covered. Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).

This book provides an up to date survey of the state of the art of research into the materials used in information technology, and will be bought by researchers in universities, institutions as well as research workers in the semiconductor and IT industries.
