Entdecken Sie ein Wunder der Natur - eigentlich altbekannt und doch immer noch voller Ratsel. Wissenschaftler aus den verschiedensten Fachbereichen fuhren Sie auf eine faszinierende Zeitreise durch die Wissenschaftsgeschichte. Am Beispiel des Naturwunders "Diamant" wird der Fortschritt der menschlichen Erkenntnis uber die Jahrhunderte hinweg eindrucksvoll deutlich - von den legendenumwobenen Anfangen und nebulosen Vorstellungen bis hin zur modernen wissenschaftlichen Analytik.

This book presents theoretical as well as experimental articles focused on recent new results in high temperature superconductivity. All contributors are high ranking scientists who have done major work to enhance the understanding of this phenomenon. A few articles deal with ferroelectricity and its applications. The book is dedicated to Prof. Dr. K. Alex Muller on his 80th birthday. During his scientific career he made major advances in the understanding of ferroelectricity.

Crystal structure analysis from powder diffraction data has attracted considerable and ever growing interest in the last decades. X-ray powder diffraction is best known for phase analysis (Hanawalt files) dating back to the 30s. In the late 60s the inherent potential of powder diffraction for crystallographic problems was realized and scientists developed methods for using powder diffraction data at first only for the refinement of crystal structures. With the development of ever growing computer power profile fitting and pattern decomposition allowed to extract individual intensities from...

Coal Combustion Byproducts and Environmental Issues addresses the major implications and critical issues surrounding coal combustion products and their impact upon the environment. It provides essential information for scientists conducting research on coal and coal combustion products, but also serves as a valuable reference for a wide variety of researchers and other professionals in the energy industry and in the fields of public health, engineering, and environmental sciences. The ultimate goal of this volume is to benefit both our economy and our environment as humanity enters the...

This revised and extended6 volume handbook set is the most comprehensive and voluminous reference work of its kind in the field of nuclear chemistry. The Handbook set covers all of the chemical aspects of nuclear science starting from the physical basics and including such diverse areas as the chemistry of transactinides and exotic atoms as well as radioactive waste management and radiopharmaceutical chemistry relevant to nuclear medicine. The nuclear methods of the investigation of chemical structure also receive ample space and attention.

The international team of authors consists...
