High Temperature Electronics
by F. Patrick McCluskey Thomas Podlesak Richard GrzybowskiThe development of electronics that can operate at high temperatures has been identified as a critical technology for the next century. Increasingly, engineers will be called upon to design avionics, automotive, and geophysical electronic systems requiring components and packaging reliable to 200 °C and beyond. Until now, however, they have had no single resource on high temperature electronics to assist them.Such a resource is critically needed, since the design and manufacture of electronic components have now made it possible to design electronic systems that will operate reliably above the traditional temperature limit of 125 °C. However, successful system development efforts hinge on a firm understanding of the fundamentals of semiconductor physics and device processing, materials selection, package design, and thermal management, together with a knowledge of the intended application environments.High Temperature Electronics brings together this essential information and presents it for the first time in a unified way. Packaging and device engineers and technologists will find this book required reading for its coverage of the techniques and tradeoffs involved in materials selection, design, and thermal management and for its presentation of best design practices using actual fielded systems as examples. In addition, professors and students will find this book suitable for graduate-level courses because of its detailed level of explanation and its coverage of fundamental scientific concepts.Experts from the field of high temperature electronics have contributed to nine chapters covering topics ranging from semiconductor device selection to testing and final assembly.

High Temperature Superconductivity
by Shin-Ichi UchidaThis book presents an overview of material-specific factors that influence Tc and give rise to diverse Tc values for copper oxides and iron-based high- Tc superconductors on the basis of more than 25 years of experimental data, to most of which the author has made important contributions. The book then explains why both compounds are distinct from others with similar crystal structure and whether or not one can enhance Tc, which in turn gives a hint on the unresolved pairing mechanism. This is an unprecedented new approach to the problem of high-temperature superconductivity and thus will be inspiring to both specialists and non-specialists interested in this field. Readers will receive in-depth information on the past, present, and future of high-temperature superconductors, along with special, updated information on what the real highest Tc values are and particularly on the possibility of enhancing Tc for each member material, which is important for application. At this time, the highest Tc has not been improved for 20 years, and no new superconductors have been discovered for 5 years. This book will encourage researchers as well as graduate-course students not to give up on the challenges in the future of high- Tc superconductivity.

High Throughput Imaging Technology (Advances in Optics and Optoelectronics)
by Yutong Li Zhengjun LiuThis book highlights a comprehensive introduction to high-throughput imaging, with the focus on the principles and methods. High-throughput imaging has become a research trend in the field of optics. It combines fast imaging, super-resolution imaging and large field of view imaging, improving the performance of the imaging system in many aspects. The development of a fast and high-throughput imaging system requires integration of optics, mathematics, programming, and other related science and technology. They bridge the theory and the system and realize the software-hardware integration, finally achieving high-performance imaging. An effective evaluation criterion of high-throughput imaging is the spatio-temporal bandwidth product, which provides guidance for research. The imaging technology with better comprehensive performance is the key target of research. Nowadays, new super-resolution imaging technologies and high-throughput imaging technologies have been emerging one after another, together with a number of new technical indicators. However, the integration and cascade of various technologies is still a very difficult challenge, and different technologies are difficult to be used in combination because of differences in physical space and technical means. Creating an imaging system with fast and high-throughput imaging capability is an urgent research task, which has important economic and social benefits for practical applications such as observing the dynamic (transient) process of large-size targets and on-line detection. High-throughput imaging is one of the major research goals of global research teams in optical imaging. This book summarizes latest research advances and introduces a variety of imaging methods targeting key problems, bringing together new theories and technologies in the aspects of high resolution, large field of view and fast imaging. The book provides a handy reference and systematic handbook for graduate students, researchers, and technicians engaged in the study, research and work in optical imaging.
