Materials classification

In completing these remarks, a quick examination of hydrogen is worthwhile. Superconductivity with T = 17 K is observed in the metallic state of silane, SiH4, with a hexagonal close-packed structure at 96GPa (Eremets et al., 2008). 

Superconducting materials can be classified in different ways. One common classification is based on their response to a high magnetic field, whereby pure metals with an almost perfect crystal lattice (except for V, Tc, and Nb) belong to type I superconductors. The magnetic flux lines are unable to penetrate the material, and above a critical magnetic field. Be, the superconductivity suddenly disappears 

One different way of considering superconductors is related to their compliance with the classic BCS theory. Hence conventional (i.e., BCS-compatible) and unconventional (i.e., BCS-incompatible) materials exist. The common scientific language therefore distinguishes also between ITS (low-temperature superconductors) and HTS (high-temperature superconductors). In general, ITS are electron-doped (n-type), while HTS are hole-doped (p-type) phases.

Table 21-5 indicates screw-conveyor performance on the basis of material classifications as listed in Table 21-4 and defined in Table 21-3. Table 21-6 gives a wide range of capacities and power requirements for various sizes of screws handling 801 kg/m (50 lb/ fU) of material of average conveyabihty. Within reasonable limits, values from Tables 21-5 and 21-6 can be interpolated for preliminary estimates and designs. 

The 10 volumes in the Series on characterization of particular materials classes include volumes on silicon processir, metals and alloys, catalytic materials, integrated circuit packaging, etc. Characterization is approached from the materials user s point of view. Thus, in general, the format is based on properties, processing steps, materials classification, etc., rather than on a technique. The emphasis of all volumes is on surfaces, interfaces, and thin films, but the emphasis varies depending on the relative importance of these areas for the materials class concerned. Appendixes in each volume reproduce the relevant one-page summaries from the Encyclopedia and provide longer summaries for any techniques referred to that are not covered in the Encyclopedia.

The relaxation of the stress resulting from a step strain can be observed experimentally and we can see that it is the result of diffusive motion of the microstructural elements. Although we can have a mechanistic picture, what does this mean in terms of our measurements We have the very striking result that our material classification must depend on the time t, i.e. the experimental or observation time. Hence, we can usefully classify material behaviour into three categories ...

Figure 7.7 Classification results for nine turquoise samples. Left digital image right combined VIS/NIR material classification result. Samples a, e and f are true, massive turquoises, sample b is turquoise set in silicate bedrock, h is a true turquoise with different ionic dopants and hence a different colour, sample d is true turquoise powder pressed with a polymeric binder, g is an artificially produced turquoise and c and i are other minerals that look superficially similar to turquoise and are frequently used in counterfeits.

It has been known for a century or more, however, that some condensed-phase materials are neither simple liquids nor simple crystalline solids, and thus they do not fall readily within the classical scheme of materials classification. These complex fluids possess mechanical properties that are intermediate between ordinary liquids and ordinary solids. Specification of a viscosity or an elastic modulus does not even begin to describe the mechanical properties of such a substance. In many cases, the relationship between stress and deformation for a complex fluid is nonlinear, is unknown, or is under dispute. The number of recognizably different kinds of complex fluids has gradually increased throughout this century, so that it is now possible to find materials that possess to an intermediate degree almost any of the properties that distinguish classical solids and liquids. 

In this review, nanoporous dielectric materials have been presented. The preparation techniques, methods of pore generation, and materials classification were discussed. Inorganic, organic, and hybrid films were also discussed. The nanoporous dielectric films were classified by preparation method, which includes block copolymer, solvent as porogen approach, surfactant templating, and sol-gel approach. This is still a very active field of research because no one film has satisfied all the stringent requirements in semiconductor device processing. 

Attention should be paid to classification of clean area requirements taking into account the possible high degree of initial microbial contamination of herbal materials. Classification of premises as applied to sites for the production of other pharmaceutical substances may not be applicable to processing of herbal materials. Specific and detailed requirements should be developed to cover microbial contamination of equipment, air, surfaces and personnel, and also for rest rooms, utilities, ancillary and supporting systems (e.g. water and compressed air).

The first immunoassay performed in a capillary driven system was reported in 1978 [67]. Based on this technique, the commonly known over-the-counter pregnancy test was introduced into the market in the middle of the 80 s. Today, this microfluidic platform is commonly designated as a lateral flow test (LAT) [14]. Other terms are test strip , immunochromatographic strip , immunocapillary tests or sol particle immunoassay (SPIA) [68]. Astonishingly, hardly any publications from a microfluidic point of view or in terns of material classification exist, and apparently many company secrets are kept unpublished [69].

The extremely wide range of materials of concern, including foods, feeds, clinical, geological, atmospheric, metals, alloys and industrial products can be surmised from an example of a material classification scheme presented in Table 2.1. The emphasis is on naturally occurring materials (mostly biological), but there is a cross-over between environmental and anthropogenic materials in the listing. 

In this chapter, recent progress in several key areas is reviewed. These areas are catagorized by material classification rather than by end-use application (1) bulk silica optics (2) optically active doped silica glasses (3) gel-polymer composites (4) organically modified silicates (ormosils) and (5) gradient-index glasses. These represent the five most significant developments in the area of bulk optical materials by the sol-gel process to date.
