Nitrides and Oxynitrides: Proceedings of the 2nd International Symposium on Nitrides, Held in Limerick, Ireland June 1998 (Materials Science Forum, V. 325-326)

This interdisciplinary book presents the state-of-the-art in the fields of nitrides and oxynitrides, and covers all aspects of the application of nitrides in ceramics, metallic alloys, glasses, composites, coatings, sensors, catalysts and electronic thin films. The role played by nitrogen in improving and modifying the properties is discusses, from both the theoretical and practical points of view. Particular attention is paid to novel applications.
