Infos

This book provides solutions and answers to physical problems in solid-state physics that have eluded scientific explanation for decades. Examples of such unsolved physics problems are:• Why are there simple metals with positive thermopower, although according to classical theory the thermopower of simple metals should always be negative?• What are the reasons for the different structures in sputtered, respective evaporated, thin films: amorphous, granular or fractal structures depending on the composition of the film alloys? • Why can amorphous metal layers exist at all, although the crystalline state is the more stable? • What is the secret of good adhesion of thin metal films to insulator substrates? • Why does the electrical conductivity σ of a thin metal layer decrease exponentially with decreasing layer thickness? • Is there a finite minimum metallic conductivity? • What is the cause of the phenomenon of the “Giant Hall Effect” in metal insulator layers?• What is the reason for Mooij's correlation? This text is intended for physicists, chemists, materials scientists, nano- and biotechnologists, students and interested laymen.

Autor

Dr. Joachim Sonntag is a retired physicist. He studied physics at the Technical University of Dresden. From 1972 until 1989 he worked at the IFW Dresden (formerly the Zentralinstitut für Festkörperphysik und Materialforschung), specializing in electron structure in metallic alloys. He then moved to Dortmund and worked for HL-Planartechnik GmbH as a developer for temperature and radiation sensors. He specializes in radiation physics, multi-phase alloys and nanomaterials. His most important scientific works related to the subject of this book are: Disordered electronic systems: I. concentration dependence of the dc conductivity in amorphous transition-metal - metalloid alloys (metallic regime), Disordered electronic systems. II. Phase separation and the metal-insulator transition in metal-metalloid alloys, Disordered electronic systems. III. Thermoelectric power in alloys with phase separation, Composites to Produce a Material with Zero Absolute Thermopower S = 0 or a Thermopower Switch between S = 0 and S ≠ 0.
