Atomic Diffusion In Disordered Materials, Theory And Applications

Download or read book Atomic Diffusion In Disordered Materials, Theory And Applications written by Minko Balkanski and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1998-02-24 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes a body of work whose ultimate goal is to optimize the design of microbatteries. It focuses on the fundamental properties of the structure and atomic diffusion in glassy materials which optimize the properties of the electrolyte. Experimental results and their phenomenological description of lithium borate glasses are extensively covered. Other chapters discuss the effects of barriers between the electrodes and the electrolyte and the book culminates with a description of actual progress in making applications of these materials to batteries, sensors and other devices.
