Silicon carbide (SiC) is a robust semiconductor material being actively developed for high-power and high-temperature applications, especially in the field of power electronics and sensors for harsh environments. This book, the fifth in a continuing series, focuses on SiC growth, defects, and devices.

Nonvolatile memories are becoming an increasingly important electronic component, due to the ever-increasing need for data storage in multimedia and other mobile applications where electronic components are replacing magnetic hard drives. This book covers recent research on new concepts for nonvolatile memories, for which new developments in materials science and technology are key.

The goal of this book is to elevate the laser remote sensing field to a technological level that can allow low-cost and reliable instruments for a wide range of scientific, commercial, military and space applications. Topics include: laser remote sensing instruments; fiber optic and semiconductor lasers; photodetection devices; and nanocrystal and photonic structures and devices.

Life-cycle analyses (LCA), vital in detailing the range of a technology's effects upon the environment and human health, afford us solid information for judiciously selecting those that provide the least damage. This book bring us a major step forward in generating well-balanced, accurate assessments of the environmental impacts of new energy conversion and storage technologies.
