Synopsis

This Handbook compiles advanced methods for materials measurement and characterization from the macroscopic to the nano-scale. Materials professionals need not only handbooks of materials data but clear guidelines and standards for how to measure the full spectrum of materials characteristics of new materials ans systems. Since materials science forms a bridge between the more traditonal fields of physics, engineering, and chemistry, unifying the varying perspectives and covering the full gamut of properties also serves a useful purpose. This handbook is the first dedicated to these practical and important considerations.

About this title

About the Author

Dr. Horst Czichos is Professor of Mechatronics at the University of Applied Sciences, Berlin, Germany. He graduated with a degree in Precision Engineering and worked as a design engineer in the optical industry. He holds Dipl.-Phys. and Dr.-Ing (Materials Science) degrees from the Free and Technical Universities of Berlin and a Dr. h.c. from KU Leuven. He was President of the German Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) from 1992 to 2002 and President of the European Federation of National Associations of Measurement, Testing and Analytical Laboratories, EUROLAB (1999 – 2003), and is now its Delegate for the International Affiliates.

Dr. Saito is currently Senior Adviser Emeritus at the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) and Chairman of ISO/TC164 (Mechanical Testing of Metals). He received his Dr.-Eng from the University of Tokyo in 1978 and since has held various positions at the National Research Institute for Metals, including Director of Materials Evaluation Division and Deputy Director-General of the Institute.

After retirement from his position as Director of the Materials Science and Engineering Laboratory of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Dr. Leslie Smith is a Research Associate at NIST. He received B.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Case Institute of Technology and the Catholic University of America in physical-organic chemistry and conducted research primarily on the adsorption of polymers and the degradation of polyesters.

This Springer Handbook of Materials Measurement Methods compiles advanced methods for materials measurement and characterization from the macroscopic to the nanometer scale. Materials science and its industrial applications require the highest level of accuracy and reliability in the measurement of the properties of materials and the assessment of their safety and reliability. Major technological nations fund large laboratories for testing and measurements that set standards, assess the safety and reliability of materials, and oversee the use of dangerous materials. Behind and beyond the data themselves are the underlying methods whose sophistication and proper use are absolutely necessary to achieve the accuracy, reliability, and safety required by modern technologies. Additionally, the acceleration of the design and creation of new materials via techniques such as molecular modeling and simulation, especially on the nanometer scale, makes the measurement of new materials properties and their characterization ever more critical.

Materials professionals will find clear guidelines and standards for how to measure the full spectrum of materials characteristics of new materials and systems. Since materials science forms a bridge between the more traditional fields of physics, engineering, and chemistry, unifying the varying perspectives and covering the full gamut of properties also serves a useful purpose. This Springer Handbook is the first dedicated to these practical and important considerations.

Reviews

本書は、巨視的スケールからナノスケールまでの材料の測定および評価のための先進的な手法を収集している.材料科学およびその産業界への応用では、材料の特性の測定ならびにその安全性と信頼性の評価において、最高水準の正確さと信頼度を要求している.実際、主要な技術国家は、標準を定め、材料の安全性と信頼性を評価し、危険材料の使用を監視するような試験や測定のための大きな研究所に資金を提供している.しかし、そのデータ自身の裏側やそれを超えたところに、現代のテクノロジーによって必要とされる正確さ、信頼度、安全性を達成するためにその洗練と適切な使用が絶対的に必要な、基礎をなす手法が存在する.さらに、とりわけナノスケール上での分子のモデリングやシミュレーションといった技法を通じての新たな材料の設計および生成のスピードが増していることによって、新たな材料の特性の測定およびそれらの評価はこれまでになく重大なものとなっている.したがって、材料の専門家には材料データのハンドブックだけでなく、新たな材料およびシステムの材料特性の完全なスペクトルをどのように測定するかに対する明確なガイドラインや基準も必要とされる.材料科学は物理学、工学、化学というもっと伝統的な分野の間の橋渡しを形成しているため、異なる視点を一体化して全ての範囲をカバーすることも有用な目的の役割を果たすこととなる.本書は、これらの実際的な要件に対する初めての専門書である.
