A large number of tungstate (AWO4) and molybdate (AMoO4), where A stands for large size divalent ions like Ca, Pb or Ba are naturally occurring crystals. Their scheelite structure is characterized by tetrahedrally coordinated (WO4)2-/(MoO4)2- group positioned at four corners of a unit cell and the divalent A2- located at bcc is octahedrally coordinated with oxygen ions. Though scheelites have been investigated for over 50 years, issues related to their luminescent emission still remained unresolved. In this thesis single crystal growth experiments on lead molybdate PbMoO4 (PMO),...

This book presents select proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Industrial and Manufacturing Systems (CIMS 2021) and discusses the applications of soft computing, modelling and optimization practices in industrial and manufacturing systems. Various topics covered in this book include advanced machining methods and performances, industrial operations, processing with hybrid manufacturing techniques, fabrication and developments in micro-machining and its applications, practical issues in supply chain, micro-structure analysis, additive manufacturing processes, reliability and...

Offers new ways of solving optimization problems related to different industrial sectors. Case studies relay how optimization methods deal with both real operative conditions in process industries and in service industries.
