Table 1. Some Large-Scale Industrial Processes Catalyzed by Surfaces of Inorganic Solids ...

When a substance is transparent to visible light, such as single crystals of simple inorganic solids which do not contain uansition metal ions, or some glasses, anotlier significant component in the thermal conductivity is the transmission of photons in the infra-red region, which becomes more important with... 

The next six chapters of this book focus on ceramics and glasses non-metallic, inorganic solids. Eive classes of materials are of interest to us here ... 

In inorganic solids, luminescence spectra can be categorized as intrinsic or extrinsic. Intrinsic luminescence, which appears at elevated temperatures as a near Gauss-ian-shaped band of energies with its peak at a photon energy is due to...

Many inorganic solids lend themselves to study by PL, to probe their intrinsic properties and to look at impurities and defects. Such materials include alkali-halides, semiconductors, crystalline ceramics, and glasses. In opaque materials PL is particularly surface sensitive, being restricted by the optical penetration depth and carrier diffusion length to a region of 0.05 to several pm beneath the surface. 

Interfaces between water and a variety of different inorganic solids have been investigated by simulation methods. In the following, a brief review of key references and findings is given. The list of references is not necessarily complete and the interested reader should consult the work cited and references therein in order to find out more about the subject.
