Phase Diagrams and Physical Properties of Nonequilibrium Alloys

Introduction.- Data chapters for multi-component amorphous alloys from Ag-Al-Cu-Hf to Au-Cu-Ti-Zr with the following properties: Physical properties (Density, Volume, Thermal Properties, Characteristic Temperatures, Heat Capacity and Heat Effects), Mechanical Properties (Elastic Moduli and Strain as well as plastic features including Tensile Strength, Compressive Strength, Hardness and Strain values, Fatigue Strength, etc.), Magnetic Properties (Curie Temperature, Coercive Force, Remanence, Permeability, Saturation Magnetization, Magnetostriction, Mössbauer Spectroscopy, etc.), Electrical Properties (Resistivity, Hall Effect, Thermoelectric Power, Superconductivity, etc.), and some Chemical Properties (Corrosion Behaviour).

Prof. Dr. Yoshiyuki Kawazoe (chief editor) is a Senior Research Fellow and Professor Emeritus in New Industry Creation Hatchery Center, Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan. He also has his position in SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai, India as an A.P.J. Abudl Kalam Distinguished Professor. He is the author of over 1,000 ISI journal papers with more than 20,000 citations (h-index 65), over 50 books, and 10 patents. He is the founder of ACCMS (Asian Consortium on Computational Materials Science) with the history of 20 years, and has served hard/soft computer resources to researchers in developing countries. He also contributed to start Japan Nano-Science and -Engineering Society 15 years ago and was the President. These societies are now matured and spread out attracting more members. He has been a Mega-grant Leader in Russian Academy of Science from 2012 to 2015 on gas hydrate research. He holds a number of positions in Japan and worldwide; an MRS India honorable member, Advisor Professor of Fudan University, China, Director of ICT Center of VietNam, President of NPO Center for Interdisciplinary Sciences, Advisor to Japan Gene Research Laboratory, and more. He has been invited by a number of research/teaching organizations, including Max-Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics, University of California in Berkeley, Kuwait Institute of Science and Technology, and The University of Tokyo.
