Quartz crystal-a technology that changed the tide of World War II Some of the defining leaps in technology in the twentieth century occurred during the Second World War, from radar to nuclear energy. Often left out of historical discussions are quartz crystals, which proved to be just as pivotal to the Allied victory-and to post-war development-as other technologies. Quartz crystals provided the U.S. military, for the first time, with reliable communication on the front lines, and then went on to become the core of some of the most basic devices of the post-war era, from watches, clocks, and color televisions, to cell phones and computers. In Crystal Clear, Richard Thompson relates the story of the quartz crystal in World War II, from its early days as a curiosity for amateur radio enthusiasts, to its use by the United States Armed Forces. It follows the intrepid group of scientists and engineers from the Office of the Chief Signal Officer of the U.S. Army as they raced to create an effective quartz crystal unit. They had to find a reliable supply of radio-quality quartz; devise methods to reach, mine, and transport the quartz; find a way to manufacture quartz crystal oscillators rapidly; and then solve the puzzling "aging problem" that plagued the early units. Ultimately, the development of quartz oscillators became the second largest scientific undertaking in World War II after the Manhattan Project. Bringing to light a little-known aspect of World War II, Crystal Clear offers a glimpse inside one of the most significant efforts in the annals of engineering.
Silicon, as a single-crystal semiconductor, has sparked a revolution in the field of electronics and touched nearly every field of science and technology. Though available abundantly as silica and in various other forms in nature, silicon is difficult to separate from its chemical compounds because of its reactivity. As a solid, silicon is chemically inert and stable, but growing it as a single crystal creates many technological challenges.Crystal Growth and Evaluation of Silicon for VLSI and ULSI is one of the first books to cover the systematic growth of silicon single crystals and the complete evaluation of silicon, from sand to useful wafers for device fabrication. Written for engineers and researchers working in semiconductor fabrication industries, this practical text:Describes different techniques used to grow silicon single crystalsExplains how grown single-crystal ingots become a complete silicon wafer for integrated-circuit fabricationReviews different methods to evaluate silicon wafers to determine suitability for device applicationsAnalyzes silicon wafers in terms of resistivity and impurity concentration mappingExamines the effect of intentional and unintentional impuritiesExplores the defects found in regular silicon-crystal latticeDiscusses silicon wafer preparation for VLSI and ULSI processingCrystal Growth and Evaluation of Silicon for VLSI and ULSI is an essential reference for different approaches to the selection of the basic silicon-containing compound, separation of silicon as metallurgical-grade pure silicon, subsequent purification, single-crystal growth, and defects and evaluation of the deviations within the grown crystals.
The New York Times bestselling author Lisa Kleypas returns with another winning Friday Harbor Novel, Crystal Cove One woman who has been cursed never to find love . . . One man without a soul who wants her more than life itself . . . They meet in a small island town in the pacific northwest, where magic is in the air and fate is a force too powerful to defy. . . .

Follow Kaedo and Jink as they travel across the continent to unlock an ancient magic buried beneath Illdaite's capital city. Meet sorcerers, cyborgs, and magical creatures along the way in this world where fantasy forests and sci-fi cities coexist.
The universe is a very strange place. As smart as we think we are, we cannot begin to explain what we see around us in great detail. The best we can do is theorize and hope somebody smarter comes along who figures out how to prove what we surmised. That's a pretty funny way to do things. But, then again, we are a very funny species. Never is this more evident than in the perusings of Barry Hopkins and his abundant wit and sideways view of things. Dive in and see what does not make the universe tick, but tickles your funnybone just the same. I double dog dare ya No geese were eaten in the making of this book cover. Two satellites and an asteroid were roasted in wine and served with asparagus.
