Diffusion and Defects in Ni3Al
- A Compilation -
Ed. D.J. Fisher
Defect and Diffusion Forum Vol. 340
The nickel aluminide intermetallic is a particularly useful alloy for use at high
temperatures because, unlike most materials, it exhibits the unusual property of
becoming stronger with increasing temperature: depending upon the minor alloy-
ing additions, the 0.2% yield strength peaks at between 600 and 800C. The reason
for this anomalous behaviour can be traced to the effect of the superlattice structure
upon diffusional mass transfer and defect motion. The present volume contains a
compilation (350 items, 176 pages) of data specifically covering the known diffu-
sion and defect properties of this material.

Diffusion and Defects in TiO2
- A Compilation -
Ed. D.J. Fisher
Defect and Diffusion Forum Vol. 342
Zinc oxide, already used millennia ago as a medicine and as an adjunct to brass
production, has assumed a new importance in the modern world because of its na-
tive n-type semiconducting properties. The present compilation comprises nearly
500 accounts of research on the diffusional behaviour of dopants and on the defects
present in the wurtzite or zincblende structures. It is hoped that this handy compen-
dium of data will be of value to those working on the tailoring of ZnO properties;
especially with regard to the controversies concerning its doping behaviour.

Radiation Damage Effects in Solids
Ed. Hardev Singh Virk
Defect and Diffusion Forum Vol. 341
Public interest and concern about radiation damage effects has increased during
recent times. Nuclear radiation proved to be a precursor for the study of radiation
damage effects in solids. In general, all types of radiation, e.g. X-ray, gamma ray,
heavy ions, fission fragments and neutrons produce damage effects in materials.
Radiation damage latent tracks in solids find applications in nuclear and elementary
particle physics, chemistry, radiobiology, earth sciences, nuclear engineering, and
a host of other areas such as nuclear safeguards, virus counting, ion track filters,
uranium exploration and archaeology. Radiation dosimetry and reactor shielding
also involve concepts based on radiation damage in solids. This special volume
consists of ten Chapters, including Review and Research Papers on various topics
in this field.
