Still the Iron Age: Iron and Steel in the Modern World
Although the last two generations have seen an enormous amount of attention paid to advances in electronics, the fact remains that high-income, high-energy societies could thrive without microchips, etc., but, by contrast, could not exist without steel. Because of the importance of this material to comtemporary civilization, a comprehensive resource is needed for metallurgists, non-metallurgists, and anyone with a background in environmental studies, industry, manufacturing, and history, seeking a broader understanding of the history of iron and steel and its current and future impact on society.

Material challenges, Inorganic photovoltaic solar energy
Photovoltaics (PV) is a fast growing market: the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of PV installations was 44 % during the period from 2000 to 2013. Deployment of modules is reaching a cumulative capacity of 200 GW. World record PV module efficiency is of 36.7 %, when concentrating lens are used in a four-junction solar cell, while best industrial silicon module efficiency is larger than 20%. 90% of the deployed PV modules are fabricated with silicon. Cost for PV module is less than 1$ per Watt. Energy Payback Time in the south of Europe is around one year, which – for a 20 years lifespan – means that PV can produce twenty times the energy needed to produce it. Still, there is large room for improvements in the field both on the technological level as well as on the scientific level. The book Materials Challenges: Inorganic Photovoltaic Solar Energy looks at these improvements from a material science perspective.

Semiconductor quantum dots
The fi eld of nanotechnology is growing. The tunability of nano-objects such as semiconductor quantum dots (SQDs) has spurred interest in chemical synthesis. In this regard, this book’s arrival is timely. It groups the various synthesis techniques for popular SQDs, comprised of 295 pages distributed among seven chapters and a comprehensive subject index. Preparation methods for II-VI, II-V, and IV-VI SQDs are described in the fi rst three chapters. The fi rst chapter introduces and develops various organometallic routes to the synthesis of Zn and Hg chalcogenides and anisotropic growth of Cd-based chalcogenides such as tetrapods and their alloys. Properties of Group III phosphides, nitrides, arsenides, and antimonides, which have different optical properties compared to II-VI semiconductors, are discussed in chapter 2. This chapter also reviews the tuning of SQD properties via dehalosilylation reactions and non-coordinating solvent routes.
