Springer Applications of the Isotopic Effect in Solids: 70 (Springer Series in Materials Science)

Product Description Readers intent on mastering the basics should start by reading the first few overview chapters and then delve into the descriptions of specific current applications to see how they actually work. Important future applications are also outlined, including information storage, materials for computer memories, quantum computers, isotopic fibers, isotopic optoelectronics, and quantum electronics. Review From the reviews: "This is the first book in world literature devoted to applications of the isotopic effects in solids. … 625 references and a detailed index are given at the very end. … The main aim of this book to familiarize readers with present and some future applications in isotopic science and engineering was successful. … This carefully written and edited book can be recommended both as a tutorial and as reference to physicists, chemists, electronic engineers, and material scientists alike." (Reinhold Haberlandt, Isotopes in Environmental and Health Studies, Vol. 41 (2), 2005) From the Back Cover This is the first book devoted to applications of the isotope effect in solids.
