Transparent Conductive Oxides

  • 1st Edition
  • February 1, 2023

  • English
Although transparency and electrical conductivity are inherently conflicting, transparent conductive oxides (TCOs) feature both properties simultaneously to some extent. TCOs are very useful materials that find applicability in a large number of fields, especially solar energy harvesting. The goal of Transparent Conductive Oxides is to provide the reader the most important information regarding the fundaments of TCOs, their chemical and physical characteristics. Conditions that enable the development of novel TCOs following the principles of the materials design are discussed. Experimental methods for synthesizing and growing TCOs and characterization techniques are reviewed, Finally, state of the art achievements in TCOs and current challenges are debated. To achieve this aim, the book contains three main parts; the first part covers the fundamentals, the second part addresses fabrication and characterization methods, and the last part includes an overview the actual state of TCOs development and establishes the goals for research in the future.Transparent Conductive Oxides is suitable for those in academia and industry in the disciplines of materials science, physics, and chemistry.

Wetzel’s Limnology: Lake and River Ecosystems, Fourth Edition, presents a fully updated revision of the classic textbook Limnology: Lake and River Ecosystems - last published in 2001. The coverage has been thoroughly updated with recent research and theoretical developments. Each chapter of this edited volume has been written by an expert, or team of experts, providing a comprehensive and global perspective, with the editors working closely with the authors to maintain continuity within and between the chapters. This is not only an essential textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in limnology but also a standard reference book for seasoned limnologists and other scientists.  

BLDC Machines

  • 1st Edition
  • February 1, 2023
  • Marcin Baszynski
  • English
BLDC Machines comprehensively reviews the governing principles and operational implementation of this popular drive system, particularly focusing on rotor design and control system implementation in DSP and FPGA. The book exhaustively reviews the structure, principles of operation and the mathematical modeling of BLDC motors. It reviews current methods to connect windings, including star, delta and open-end winding, and discusses the relevant control methods involved. For each winding connection, their influence on the engine's properties is discussed in-depth. Thereafter, methods of detection points of commutation are discussed for both sensor and sensorless motors.Finally, the problem of rotational speed estimation and methods of implementing a closed control system are evaluated.

Physics and Ecology in Fluids: Modeling and Numerical Experiments develops mathematical and numerical modeling methodologies for coupled biological-hydrodynamic problems with a focus on process studies.  The modeling is presented in a way that discusses mathematical background but does not depend on a large body of mathematical pre-requisites or experience.  Models are built up from simple, to complex.  This includes discussion of approximations and shortcuts commonly made by large computational models for natural bodies of water. Computational approaches are presented using conceptual explanations and pseudo-code along with well-documented, open-source code.  Over a dozen codes that run locally on the reader’s laptop provide hands on experience with various aspects of the modeling process and its scientific results.  One large-scale code for basin scale modeling based on the Discontinuous Galerkin methodology is presented, along with a self-contained discussion of theoretical background and implementation details. Physics and Ecology in Fluids is written for graduate students, academic researchers and government scientists.  Professors can use the book as a stand-alone resource for a one term graduate course, or to supplement teaching of their own graduate courses.  All readers may also use the book as background/user’s guide for the software included with the book.
