Sommario/riassunto

By the close of the 19th century, the United States was no longer a continental power, but had become a nation with interests that spanned the globe from the Caribbean to China. Consequently, the country faced a new set of strategic concerns, ranging from enforcing the Monroe Doctrine to defending the Philippines.As a result of the United States' new geostrategic environment, the armed services had to establish a system for the creation of war plans to defend the country's interests against possible foreign aggression. A Joint Army and Navy Board, established in 1903, ordered the creation

Sommario/riassunto

"This collection of fourteen essays enriches digital humanities research by examining various Canadian cultural works and the advances in technologies that facilitate these interdisciplinary collaborations. Fourteen essays in English and French survey the helix of place and space: While contributors to Part 1 chart new archival and storytelling methodologies, those in Part 2 venture forth to explore specific cultural and literary texts. Cultural Mapping and the Digital Sphere will serve as an indispensable road map for researchers and those interested in the digital humanities, women's writing, and Canadian culture and literature."--

Nota di contenuto

Diffusion and point defects in silicon materials -- Density functional modeling of defects and impurities in silicon materials -- Electrical and optical defect evaluation techniques for electronic and solar grade silicon -- Intrinsic point defect engineering during single crystal Si and Ge growth from a melt -- Computer simulation of crystal growth for CZ-Si single crystals and Si solar cells -- Oxygen precipitation in silicon -- Defect characterization by electron beam induced current and cathode luminescence methods -- Nuclear methods to study defects and impurities in Si materials using heavy ion accelerators -- Defect Engineering in silicon materials.

Sommario/riassunto

This book emphasizes the importance of the fascinating atomistic insights into the defects and the impurities as well as the dynamic behaviors in silicon materials, which have become more directly accessible over the past 20 years. Such progress has been made possible by newly developed experimental methods, first principle theories, and computer simulation techniques. The book is aimed at young researchers, scientists, and technicians in related industries. The main purposes are to provide readers with 1) the basic physics behind defects in silicon materials, 2) the atomistic modeling as well as the characterization techniques related to defects and impurities in silicon materials, and 3) an overview of the wide range of the research fields involved.
