Atomic scale properties of these materials are different from single crystalline material, for example, extraordinary mechanical properties, electrical and thermal transport properties, and electronic structure. This book presents topical research in the study of quasicrystals, including vacancies in quasicrystals; the formation of quasicrystals in bulk metallic glasses and their effects on mechanical behaviour; the electrical transport observed in Al-Pd-Mn quasicrystals; logarithmic periodicity in quasicrystals; and, positron annihilation studies of quasicrystals. 410 0$aMaterials science and technologies series. 606 $aQuasicrystals 606 $aCrystals 615 0$aQuasicrystals. 615 0$aCrystals. 676 $a530.4/1 701 $aPuckermann$b Beth E$01871737 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910965967103321 996 $aQuasicrystals$94480670 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03694nam 22005654a 450 001 9911006605103321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-281-04934-4 010 $a9786611049348 010 $a0-08-048020-9 035 $a(CKB)1000000000336835 035 $a(EBL)294313 035 $a(OCoLC)437181510 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000225795 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11198406 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000225795 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10233236 035 $a(PQKB)11433773 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC294313 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000336835 100 $a20030102d2003 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aPractical handbook of photovoltaics $efundamentals and applications /$fedited by Tom Markvart and Luis Castaner 210 $aNew York $cElsevier Advanced Technology$dc2003 215 $a1 online resource (1015 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a1-85617-390-9 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (p.

The Handbook of Photovoltaics will be a 'benchmark' publication for those involved in the design, manufacture and use of these devices. The Handbook covers the principles of solar cell function, the raw materials, photovoltaic systems, standards, calibration, testing, economics and case studies. The editors have assembled a cast of internationally-respected contributors from industry and academia.
