The first section considers the fundamental and applied crystal growth studies of silicon, III-V and II-VI compounds, and magnetic garnets. This section also describes the structure of autoepitaxial diamond films and the morphology of single crystals grown from the vapor phase. The second section deals with nucleation and crystal growth kinetic studies of whiskers and the fabrication of solar cells. This section further surveys the equilibrium, kinetics, and epitaxy in the chemical vapor deposition of silicon compounds.

    • English
    Organosilicon Chemistry: 2 provides information pertinent to the fundamental aspects of organosilicon chemistry. This book discusses the organosilicon substituents in anionic rearrangements as well as examines the production of tetrakis allene from a large number of aliphatic and aromatic polyhalogenated compounds. Organized into 14 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the use of organosilyl groups as migrating substituents. This text then examines the development in the chemistry of organosilicon cyclic compounds. Other chapters consider the evidence supporting the intermediacy of silylenes and the general picture of the chemistry of organosilylenes. This book discusses as well the two major approaches for the silylation of polyhalogenated compounds, including the direct reaction of polyhalogenated compounds and the metalation or halogen-metal exchange between the halogenated aromatic compounds and organolithium reagents. The final chapter deals with the importance of hydrosilation. This book is a valuable resource for chemists, scientists, and research workers.

  • Orbital Symmetry

    A Problem-Solving Approach
    • 1st Edition
    • Roland E. Lehr + 1 more
    • English
    Orbital Symmetry: A Problem-Solving Approach was born of the necessity to present to students Woodward and Hoffmann's approach to pericyclic reactions. Hence the tone is introductory, and the book is addressed primarily to an audience of advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students. The text seeks to familiarize the readers with several of the more often encountered methods of analyzing pericyclic reactions, and these methods should enable the analysis of virtually all of them. Problem solving is the foundation of the approach. Both the introductory and theory sections include problems to prepare the reader for the more extensive chapters of problems that follow. All problems (except those in Chapter VII) are answered in the text and are fully referenced where appropriate. Many of the problems require the use of molecular models if they are to be appreciated. Prentice-Hall's ""Framework Molecular Models"" and Benjamin's ""Maruzen Models"" are best suited for the construction of the highly strained molecules often encountered in the problems, and their use is recommended.

    Liquids and Liquid Mixtures, Third Edition explores the equilibrium properties of liquids and liquid mixtures and relates them to the properties of the constituent molecules using the methods of statistical thermodynamics. Topics covered include the critical state, fluid mixtures at high pressures, and the statistical thermodynamics of fluids and mixtures.

The discussion then turns to the thermodynamics of and inequalities at the critical point; measurement of thermodynamic functions in the critical region; experimental values of the critical exponents; and scaling of the free energy. The change of thermodynamic functions with composition is the subject of the next two chapters, followed by an analysis of fluid mixtures at high pressures. The final chapter is devoted to the statistical thermodynamics of fluids and mixtures, paying particular attention to the thermodynamic properties in terms of the forces between the molecules; the balance of intermolecular potentials between like and unlike molecules; and phase behavior. This monograph will be of interest to students and researchers in the fields of chemistry and chemical engineering.
