Electronic Materials and Fungi

Fungi in used bedding materials.

Few workers have been concernied with the occurrence of bacteria and fungi withini used beddinig, bedding materials, anid upholstered furniture. Such organisms may be present in the raw materials, added during normal use and storage, multiply under certaiin conditions of humidity, and may be transferred to new felt when new and used materials are garnetted. Conant et al. (1935) studied the mold...

Electronic Structure of Crystalline Materials

Electrochromic materials for electronic paper

Electrochromic materials have the possibility to change their colour reversibly when they are transformed in a differently charged state. By applying an external voltage, charged molecules move towards the electrodes where they accept or donate an electron, and obtain a different colour. When the external voltage is switched off, they return to their initial colour. Recently electrochromism has...

Electronic materials theory: Interfaces and defects

An overview of developments in materials theory is presented, with an emphasis on first-principles calculations. Examples are given from the fields of heterojunction interfaces and point defects in semiconductors. Predictive theories of materials are shown to be increasingly important for understanding but also designing materials and structures. © 2003 American Vacuum Society. @DOI: 10.1116/1....

Strongly Correlated Electronic Materials : Present and Future

1037 Abstract In complex transition-metal oxides, the interactions between the electronic spins, charges, and orbitals produce a rich variety of electronic phases. The competition and/or cooperation among these correlated-electron phases can lead to the emergence of surprising electronic phenomena and functionalities and form the basis for a new type of electronics. Strongly Correlated Electron...
