Mass Transport Phenomena in Ceramics [antikvár]

PREFACE The Eleven th University Conference on Ceramic Science held at Case Western Reserve University frcm June 3-5, 1974 was devoted to the subject of Mass Transport Phenomena in Ceramics. This book follows closely the form of the conference. While the active participation at the meeting was not recorded, it is clear that many of the contributors have benefited frcm the remarks, suggestions, and criticisms of the participants. Furthermore, the session chairmen - Delbert Day (Univ. of Missouri) , Wm. IaCourse (Alfréd Univ.), W. Richárd Ott (Rutgers Univ.), A.L. Eriedberg (Univ. of Illinois) , V. Stubican (Penn. State Univ.), and R. Loehman (Univ. of Florida) - successfully kept the meeting to a reasonable Schedule, but alsó stimulated the lively discussion. The book divides naturally into four sections, focus ing on correlation and coupling effects in diffusion in ionic materials, understanding of fast ion transport, diffusion and electrical conductivity in crystalline and glassy oxides and applications of diffusion to oxidation and other processes of current interest. The editors have benefited frcm the cheerful help and assistance of many people. Mrs. Karyn Pletka typed the entire manuscript with unusual accuracy and tolerance. Mr. Makmod ElLeil, Ajit Sone, Leslie JVkjor and Ms. Jenny Sang provided the subject index. The authors have been cooperative and understanding and we acknowledge our enjoyment in working with them. The conference received financial assistance frcm U.S. Army Research Office, Durham, N.C., Air Force Office of Scientific Research, Arlington, Va., and Aerospace Research Laboratory, Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, Ohio. This support made it possible to bring together the distinguished group of contributors to this volume. Cleveland, Ohio March, 1975 A. R. Cooper A. H. Heuer
