R1,521 Discovery Miles 15 210 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Oxide materials are good candidates for replacing Si devices, which are increasingly reaching their performance limits, since the former offer a range of unique properties, due to their composition, design and/or doping techniques. The author introduces a means of selecting oxide materials according to their functions and explains metal/oxide interface physics. As he demonstrates, material development is the key to matching oxide materials to specific practical applications. In this book, the investigation and intentional control of metal/oxide interface structure and electrical properties using data obtained with non-destructive methods such as x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and x-ray reflectometry (XRR) are discussed. Further, it shows how oxide materials can be used to support the development of future functional devices with high-k, ferroelectric, magnetic and optical properties. In closing, it explains optical sensors as an application of metal Schottky contact and metal/oxide resistive random access memory structure.

Electromagnetic Well Logging - Models for MWD/LWD Interpretation and Tool Design (Hardcover): W Chin Electromagnetic Well Logging - Models for MWD/LWD Interpretation and Tool Design (Hardcover)
W Chin
R5,036 Discovery Miles 50 360 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Mathematically rigorous, computationally fast, and easy to use, this new approach to electromagnetic well logging gives the reservoir engineer a new dimension to MWD/LWD interpretation and tool design Almost all publications on borehole electromagnetics deal with idealizations that are not acceptable physically. On the other hand, exact models are only available through detailed finite element or finite difference analysis, and more often than not, simply describe case studies for special applications. In either case, the models are not available for general use and the value of the publications is questionable. This new approach provides a rigorous, fully three-dimensional solution to the general problem, developed over almost two decades by a researcher familiar with practical applications and mathematical modeling. Completely validated against exact solutions and physics-based checks through over a hundred documented examples, the self-contained model (with special built-in matrix solvers and iteration algorithms) with a plain English graphical user interface has been optimized to run extremely fast seconds per run as opposed to minutes and hours and then automatically presents all electric and magnetic field results through integrated three-dimensional color graphics. In addition to state-of-the-art algorithms, basic utility programs are also developed, such as simple dipole methods, Biot-Savart large diameter models, nonlinear phase and amplitude interpolation algorithms, and so on. Incredibly useful to oilfield practitioners, this volume is a must-have for serious professionals in the field, and all the algorithms have undergone a laborious validation process with real use in the field. This groundbreaking new volume contains: * A general three-dimensional electromagnetic model for nondipolar transmitters in layered anisotropic media with dip, developed for MWD/LWD well logging and tool design, offering accurate solutions in seconds as opposed to minutes or hours * An approach that helps readers explore new transmitter and receiver concepts and designs * Information on model steel mandrels, charge radiation from layer interfaces, large coil and thin layer effects, anisotropic media and low resistivity pay, borehole eccentricity and invasion, with a new and powerful model developed from first principles * A new approach that removes physical limitations associated with dipole, integral equation, Born, geometric factor or hybrid techniques and explains how these problems are overcome, building on advances from aerospace computational fluid mechanics * Mathematical and programming details as well as ready-to-use software with integrated three-dimensional color graphics for those needing immediate answers

Nassir H. Sabah
R1,468 Discovery Miles 14 680 Ships in 9 - 17 working days

Electronics: Basic, Analog, and Digital with PSpice does more than just make unsubstantiated assertions about electronics. Compared to most current textbooks on the subject, it pays significantly more attention to essential basic electronics and the underlying theory of semiconductors. In discussing electrical conduction in semiconductors, the author addresses the important but often ignored fundamental and unifying concept of electrochemical potential of current carriers, which is also an instructive link between semiconductor and ionic systems at a time when electrical engineering students are increasingly being exposed to biological systems. The text presents the background and tools necessary for at least a qualitative understanding of new and projected advances in microelectronics. The author provides helpful PSpice simulations and associated procedures (based on schematic capture, and using OrCAD (R) 16.0 Demo software), which are available for download. These simulations are explained in considerable detail and integrated throughout the book. The book also includes practical, real-world examples, problems, and other supplementary material, which helps to demystify concepts and relations that many books usually state as facts without offering at least some plausible explanation. With its focus on fundamental physical concepts and thorough exploration of the behavior of semiconductors, this book enables readers to better understand how electronic devices function and how they are used. The book's foreword briefly reviews the history of electronics and its impact in today's world. ***Classroom Presentations are provided on the CRC Press website. Their inclusion eliminates the need for instructors to prepare lecture notes. The files can be modified as may be desired, projected in the classroom or lecture hall, and used as a basis for discussing the course material.***

The field of "microelectromechanical systems," or "MEMS," has gradually evolved from a "discipline" populated by a small group of researchers to an "enabling technology" supporting a variety of products in such diverse areas as mechanical and inertial sensors, optical projection displays, telecommunications equipment, and biology and medicine. Critical to the success of these products is the ability to design them, and this invariably involves detailed modeling of proposed designs. Over the past twenty years, such modeling has become increasingly sophisticated, with full suites of MEMS-oriented computer-aided-design tools now available worldwide. But there is another equally important side to the design process In my own book, Microsystem figuring out what to build in the first place. Design, I chose to emphasize the modeling aspect of design. The task of figuring out what to build was defined by a vague step called "creative thinking." I used practical product examples to illustrate the many subtle characteristics of successful designs, but I made no attempt to systematize the generation ofdesign proposals or optimized designs. That systemization is called "synthesis," which is the subjectofthis book."
