This book explores the spectrum of light and electromagnetic radiation, detailing how our eyes perceive visible light while being unaware of infrared and ultraviolet rays. It discusses the implications of these energies in everyday life, from sunburns to x-rays, illustrating the vast range of photons that exist beyond our visual capabilities.
Focusing on the physics and materials science, this book delves into ion implantation and ion beam modification, essential in silicon integrated circuit technology. It explores critical processes like controlled doping, ion-solid interactions, and shallow-junction formation. The text also addresses practical applications such as improving corrosion resistance and surface hardening. Key topics include ion ranges, lattice disorder, ion-beam mixing, and stresses, providing a comprehensive understanding of how ion implantation enhances materials properties.
The Cultural Revolution in China generated a cascade of commentaries and interpretations on the development and meaning of the upheaval. Many students and researchers have found it difficult to locate and identify literature on the period. This bibliography, first published in 1976, corrects this situation. It lists all books, monographs and journal articles in English on the Cultural Revolution, each annotated to show its relevance – a vital reference source.
