Electromagnetic complex media are artificial materials that affect the propagation of electromagnetic waves in surprising ways not usually seen in nature. Because of their wide range of important applications, these materials have been intensely studied over the past twenty-five years, mainly from the perspectives of physics and engineering. But a body of rigorous mathematical theory has also gradually developed, and this is the first book to present that theory.

Designed for researchers and advanced graduate students in applied mathematics, electrical engineering, and physics, this book introduces the electromagnetics of complex media through a systematic, state-of-the-art account of their mathematical theory. The book combines the study of well posedness, homogenization, and controllability of Maxwell equations complemented with constitutive relations describing complex media. The book treats deterministic and stochastic problems both in the frequency and time domains. It also covers computational aspects and scattering problems, among other important topics. Detailed appendices make the book self-contained in terms of mathematical prerequisites, and accessible to engineers and physicists as well as mathematicians.

Mit der fortschreitenden Entwicklung der Kolloidchemie sind deren Bezie hungen zur physikalischen Chemie der molekulardispersen Systeme immer mehr hervorgetreten, ist der rein quantitative Charakter der bestehenden Unterschiede immer deutlicher geworden. Das gilt nicht nur fUr das Gebiet der molekular kinetischen Erscheinungen, sondern auch in besonderem MaBe von einem ihrer wichtigsten Abschnitte, der Elektrochemie der Kolloide. Wir haben in diesem Buche den Versuch unternommen, die Prinzipien der modernen elektrolytischen Losungstheorie, welche vor allem durch die auf die Erkenntnis der interionischen Krafte gegriindete Theorie der starken Elektrolyte und den aus ihr hervorgegangenen Ausbau der Vorstellungen von der elektrischen Doppelschicht, sowie durch die Lehre von den Dipolen und von der Polarisier- und Orientierbarkeit der Molekiile eine machtige Ausgestaltung erfahren hat, zu einer moglichst einheitlichen und geschlossenen Darstellung einer Elektrochemie der Kolloide zu verwenden. In hohem MaBe wurde hierbei die Moglichkeit bedeutungsvoll, das Gleichgewicht der Oberflachen reaktionen als einen besonderen und durchsichtigen Fall des Massenwirkungs gesetzes zu behandeln. Die innigen Wechselbeziehungen zwischen der Elektro chemie der anorganischen Kolloide und Proteine, auf welche schon seit langen J ahren von dem einen von uns hingewiesen wurde und die die Methoden und Ergebnisse der letzteren vielfach auf die ersteren auszudehnen gestatteten, kommen auch in dem Buche in einer entsprechenden Beriicksichtigung der Proteine zum Ausdruck. So hoffen wir, daB dasselbe nicht allein dem Chemiker, sondern auch dem Biologen von Interesse sein wird."

Das vorliegende B"uch entspringt einer Gedankenrichtung, die ich fruher als Pharmakologe bei Beschaftigung mit theoretisch-medizinischen Fragen, jetzt in der Klinik bei der Erfassung von Krankheitsbildern verfolgt habe. - DaJ3 die Elektrolyte eine hervorragende Rolle bei der Zellfunktion spielen, ist durch die Arbeiten der letzten Jahrzehnte erwiesen worden. Gefordert wurde die Erforschung der Elektrolytwirkung insbesondere durch die Ein fiihrung der physikalisch- bzw. kolloidchemischen Betrachtungsweise in die Biologie. Dieses Buch stellt den Versuch dar, auf Grund des vorhandenen Tat sachenmaterials und eigener Untersuchungen den Elektrolyten ihren Platz im Rahmen des Gesamtzellgeschehens anzuweisen. Auch solI es dazu bei tragen, die Grundlagen fur eine funktionelle Betrachtungsweise der Lebens vorgange auszubauen. DaJ3 dies notwendig ist, wird wohl von niemand mehr bezweifelt; denn immer deutlicher erkennen wir, daJ3 die rein morpho logische Betrachtungsweise der Zelle keineswegs ausreicht, um das Wesen der physiologischen und pathologischen Zellvorgange in befriedigender Weise analysieren zu konnen.

Daher moegen sie namentlich auch fur den Unterricht brauchbar erscheinen, sowie endlich fur die physikalischen und chemischen UEbungen mannigfachen Stoff bieten. Freilich darf man von auf Messungen ankommt, denjenigen Versuchen, bei denen es keine all zu sicheren Ergebnisse erwarten, denn zu exakteren Zahlenresultaten sind feinere Instrumente erforderlich, welche nur in den wissenschaftlichen Laboratorien zur Verfugung stehen, zu Demonstrationszwecken aber in der Regel nicht geeignet sind.

In Advanced ULSI interconnects - fundamentals and applications we bring a comprehensive description of copper-based interconnect technology for ultra-lar- scale integration (ULSI) technology for integrated circuit (IC) application. In- grated circuit technology is the base for all modern electronics systems. You can ?nd electronics systems today everywhere: from toys and home appliances to a- planes and space shuttles. Electronics systems form the hardware that together with software are the bases of the modern information society. The rapid growth and vast exploitation of modern electronics system create a strong demand for new and improved electronic circuits as demonstrated by the amazing progress in the ?eld of ULSI technology. This progress is well described by the famous "Moore's law" which states, in its most general form, that all the metrics that describe integrated circuit performance (e. g. , speed, number of devices, chip area) improve expon- tially as a function of time. For example, the number of components per chip d- bles every 18 months and the critical dimension on a chip has shrunk by 50% every 2 years on average in the last 30 years. This rapid growth in integrated circuits te- nology results in highly complex integrated circuits with an increasing number of interconnects on chips and between the chip and its package. The complexity of the interconnect network on chips involves an increasing number of metal lines per interconnect level, more interconnect levels, and at the same time a reduction in the interconnect line critical dimensions.

Wastewater treatment technology is undergoing a profound transformation due to the fundamental changes in regulations governing the discharge and disposal of h- ardous pollutants. Established design procedures and criteria, which have served the industry well for decades, can no longer meet the ever-increasing demand. Toxicity reduction requirements dictate in the development of new technologies for the treatment of these toxic pollutants in a safe and cost-effective manner. Fo- most among these technologies are electrochemical processes. While electrochemical technologies have been known and utilized for the tre- ment of wastewater containing heavy metal cations, the application of these p- cesses is only just a beginning to be developed for the oxidation of recalcitrant organic pollutants. In fact, only recently the electrochemical oxidation process has been rec- nized as an advanced oxidation process (AOP). This is due to the development of boron-doped diamond (BDD) anodes on which the oxidation of organic pollutants is mediated via the formation of active hydroxyl radicals.

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are promising electrochemical power generation devices that can convert chemical energy of a fuel into electricity in an efficient, environmental-friendly, and quiet manner. Due to their high operating temperature, SOFCs feature fuel flexibility as internal reforming of hydrocarbon fuels and ammonia thermal cracking can be realized in SOFC anode. This book first introduces the fundamental principles of SOFCs and compares SOFC technology with conventional heat engines as well as low temperature fuel cells. Then the latest developments in SOFC R&D are reviewed and future directions are discussed. Key issues related to SOFC performance improvement, long-term stability, mathematical modelling, as well as system integration/control are addressed, including material development, infiltration technique for nano-structured electrode fabrication, focused ion beam - scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM) technique for microstructure reconstruction, the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) simulation at pore scale, multi-scale modelling, SOFC integration with buildings and other cycles for stationary applications.

My Way to Lithium-Ion Batteries Yoshio Nishi I have been engaged in research and development (R&D) on novel materials for electronic appliances for 40 years since I joined Sony Corporation in 1966. I started my scientific career in Sony as a researcher of zinc-air batteries. After 8 years in R&D on electrochemistry, my research field was shifted against my will to el- troacoustic materials, specifically diaphragm materials for electroacoustic tra- ducers including loudspeakers, headphones, and microphones. My R&D work also extended to cabinet materials for speaker systems. This about-face was uncomfo- able for me at first, but it forced me to devote myself to the investigation of various classes of materials unfamiliar to me, covering pulp and paper, metals (i. e. , Ti, Al, Be), ceramics (B4C, TiN, BN, SiC), carbonaceous materials (carbon fibers, intr- sic carbon, artificial diamond), reinforcing fibers for FRP (carbon fibers, aromatic polyamide fibers, glass fibers, SiC fibers, superdrawn polyethylene fibers), organic polymers (polyamides, polyethylene, polypropylene, polymethylpentene, poly- ides, polysulfones, polyetherimides, polyethersulfones, PET), boards (plywood, particle board), resin composites (bulk molding compounds, resin concretes, arti- cial marble), and so on. I also was engaged in development of piezoelectric lo- speakers employing poly(vinylidene difluoride) (PVdF). The remarkably successful output from my R&D activities in those days were organic polymer whiskers and bacterial cellulose. The former was the first organic whisker in the world disc- ered by M. Iguchi,1 which is composed of polyoxymethylene (POM).
