Fundamentals of Electron Emission Physics
An authoritative and accurate guide to the physics of research- and technology-relevant phenomena of electron emission In Fundamentals of Electron Emission Physics, distinguished research physicist, Dr. Kevin Jensen, delivers a practice-oriented introduction to the physics of electron emission. The book uses a physical intuition approach based on many years of research instead of heavy-handed mathematical formalism. The author explores and explains the fundamentals of electron emission and the basis for successful performance and interpretation of experiments conducted at lab- and large-scale electron sources. He addresses the most common stumbling blocks that students and researchers who are new to the field often run into when confronted with the intricacies of the physics of electron emission. * Thorough introductions to semiconductors, canonical emission models, and modern physics methods * Comprehensive explorations of tunneling and transmission, the thermal-field-photoemission model, three-step models of photo- and secondary emission, and space charge * Practical discussions of mathematical methods and specialized functions (e.g., Gamma function, Riemann Zeta function, orthogonal polynomials) * A mathematical appendix, as well as sample problems and solutions to help explain the topics discussed in the book Perfect for advanced undergraduate and doctoral students in solid state physics, materials science, electron transport, and beam physics, Fundamentals of Electron Emission Physics will also benefit users and developers of electron sources and practicing academics and researchers.

Aging of Industrial Polymers, Volume 1
Polymers and composites are omnipresent in our daily lives, enabling the lightening of structural materials and food packaging. Their performance not only depends on their chemical structure, synthesis, architecture and forming process, but also evolves over time under the effect of processes that modify - sometimes slowly but irreversibly - the structure of the material. As a result, users need to consider the maximum duration of use during which these materials will retain acceptable levels of properties. This questioning is even more crucial as it responds to societal requirements linked to limiting end-of-life waste flows and preserving the resources necessary for their production.
