Informationen zum Autor English\, Klappentext In Materials Modelling: From Theory to Technology, a distinguished collection of authors has been assembled to celebrate the 60th birthday of Dr. R. Bullough, FRS and honor his contribution to the subject over the past 40 years. The volume explores subjects that have implications in a wide range of technologies, focusing on how basic research can be applied to real problems in science and engineering. Linking theory and technology, the book progresses from the theoretical background to current and future practical applications of modeling. Accessible to a diverse audience, it requires little specialist knowledge beyond a physics degree. The book is useful reading for postgraduates and researchers in condensed matter, nuclear engineering, and physical metallurgy, in addition to workers in R&D laboratories and the high technology industry. Zusammenfassung A series of papers honouring the 60th birthday of Dr Ron Bullough, FRS, providing an overview of the development and applications of materials modelling in the following areas: observation of crystal defects, radiation damage in materials, modelling fracture and sensors' electronic behaviour. Inhaltsverzeichnis Theory and observation of crystal defects; Radiation damage in materials; Modelling fracture; Sensors and electronic behaviour; Subject index; Author index.
