Synopsis

This new game book for understanding atoms at play aims to document diffusion processes and various other properties operative in advanced technological materials. Diffusion in functional organic chemicals, polymers, granular materials, complex oxides, metallic glasses, and quasi-crystals among other advanced materials is a highly interactive and synergic phenomenon. A large variety of atomic arrangements are possible. Each arrangement affects the performance of these advanced, polycrystalline multiphase materials used in photonics, MEMS, electronics, and other applications of current and developing interest. This book is written by pioneers in industry and academia for engineers, chemists, and physicists in industry and academia at the forefront of today's challenges in nanotechnology, surface science, materials science, and semiconductors.

About the Author

Devendra Gupta, a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, joined the IBM Research Division, Thomas J. Watson Research Center at Yorktown Heights, N.Y. as a Staff Scientist in 1968. He worked concurrently at the IBM E. Fishkill facility on the Si chip and on substrate interconnection problems. He is currently an emeritus research staff member at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center in the Physical Sciences Division. Additionally, he has been an adjunct professor at the Polytechnic University of New York 1975-80 and Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pa 1994- to date. He was a visiting scientist at Stuttgart University and Max Planck Institute in Stuttgart Germany in 1997 and 1998. He is member of Sigma Xi - the Research Societies of America, The Minerals, Metals and Materials Society and fellow of the American Physical Society. Early in his career, he held the positions of Assistant Chief Industry, Planning Commission Government of India from 1963 to 1965 and Fellow in the Frederick Seitz Material Research Laboratory at the University of Illinois, Urbana- Champaign, IL from 1965 to 1968. His research interests include diffusion, mass transport and defects in solids particularly in thin films for microelectronic applications. He has written over 100 articles in this field in international refereed journals, authored or edited five books and holds a patent portfolio on thin films technology at IBM.
