2. Renewable Solar Energy: Has the Sun Finally Risen on Photovoltaics?

   23 Feb 2009 | | Contributor(s):: Mark R. Pinto

   After a review of the overall renewable energy landscape, including the central role of economics, we present here the case that PV is on the verge of becoming a major source of electrical power through a principle similar to that which underlies the 50 year progress of IC technology - the...

3. Energy and Nanoscience A More Perfect Union

   27 Mar 2009 | | Contributor(s):: Mark Ratner

   Huge problems of energy and sustainability confront the science/engineering community, mankind, and our planet. The energy problem comes in many dimensions, including supply, demand, conservation, transportation, and storage. This overview will stress the nature of these problems, and offer a few...

5. Functional Graded Materials architectures applied at nanoscale: thin PVD nanograded and layered coatings

   out of 5 stars 

   09 Oct 2008 | | Contributor(s):: Vasco Teixeira

   Functionally graded materials (FGM’s) are designed to achieve levels of performance superior to that of homogeneous materials by combining the desirable properties of each constituent phase. FGM’s are composite materials where the composition or the microstructure is locally varied so that a...
