Note: A comprehensive overview on the key aspects of chemical vapour deposition processes written by practising CVD technologists who are also leading international experts, Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) involves the deposition of thin solid films from chemical precursors in the vapour phase, and encompasses a variety of deposition techniques, including a range of thermal processes, plasma enhanced CVD (PECVD), photon- initiated CVD, and atomic layer deposition (ALD). The development of CVD technology owes a great deal to collaboration between different scientific disciplines such as chemistry, physics, materials science, engineering and microelectronics, and the publication of this book will promote and stimulate continued dialogue between scientists from these different research areas. The book is one of the most comprehensive overviews ever written on the key aspects of chemical vapour deposition processes and it is more comprehensive, technically detailed and up-to-date than other books on CVD. The contributing authors are all practising CVD technologists and are leading international experts in the field of CVD. It presents a logical and progressive overview of the various aspects of CVD processes. Basic concepts, such as the various types of CVD processes, the design of CVD reactors, reaction modelling and CVD precursor chemistry are covered in the first few chapters. Then follows a detailed description of the use of a variety CVD techniques to deposit a wide range of materials, including semiconductors, metals, metal oxides and nitrides, protective coatings and functional coatings on glass. Finally and uniquely, for a technical volume, industrial and commercial aspects of CVD are also discussed together with possible future trends, which is an unusual, but very important aspect of the book. The book has been written with CVD practitioners in mind, such as the++ , chemist who wishes to learn more about CVD processes, or the CVD technologist who wishes to gain an increased knowledge of precursor chemistry. The volume will prove particularly useful to those who have recently entered the field, and it will also make a valuable contribution to chemistry and materials science lecture courses at undergraduate and postgraduate level

Content: Georg Trautnitz greift die Kontroverse über die systematischen Grundlagen der Wirtschaftsethik auf, die sich im Gegensatz zwischen der "Integrativen Wirtschaftsethik" von Peter Ulrich und der "Ethik mit ökonomischer Methode" von Karl Homann in paradigmatischer Schärfe zeigt. Nach einer kritischen Diskussion und Gegenüberstellung beider Positionen entwickelt der Autor eigenständige Prinzipien der Wirtschaftsethik. Auf Grundlage transzendentalphilosophischer Argumente wird die konstitutive Funktion des Rechtsprinzips für die Interpersonalität und damit auch für jede Form ökonomischen Denkens und Handelns nachgewiesen: Individuelle Rationalität ist ohne Recht nicht denkbar. Das Rechtsprinzip widersetzt sich dabei sowohl einer ethischen (Ulrich) als auch einer ökonomischen Reduktion (Homann). Als apriorische Bedingung menschlicher Existenz gestattet es vielmehr, das ökonomische Prinzip zu rechtfertigen und damit zugleich seine notwendigen Grenzenzu bestimmen. Im Ergebnis zeigt sich eine konstitutive Wirtschaftsethik, die auf Grundlage des Primats der praktischen Vernunft die systemische Logik der Ökonomie zugleich begründet und begrenzt

Series Statement: Global Studies

Content: Die Indigenenbewegung ist trotz ihrer enormen Diversität ein wichtiger sozialer Akteur in der ecuadorianischen Gesellschaft. Seit einer Sattelzeit zwischen Mitte der 1970er und Mitte der 1980er Jahre hat sie einen Diskurs herausgebildet, der identitäre mit klassistischen Positionen verbindet und um die politischen Begriffe indigene Nationalität, Territorialität, Plurinationalität, Interkulturalität und Gutes Leben herum aufgebaut ist. Philipp Altmann zeigt, wie sich dieser Diskurs gegen die koloniale Strukturierung der Gesellschaft und ihre Auswirkungen - wie etwa Diskriminierung und Ungleichheit - wendet und daher dekolonial zu verstehen ist

Content: The Indigenous Peoples Movement, despite its enormous diversity, is an important social player in Ecuadorian Society. Since the transitional period between the mid-1970s and mid-1980s, it has established a discourse which combines identity with class position and is structured around the political terms indigenous sovereignty, nationality, territoriality, plural nationality, interculturality, and »the good life«.Philipp Altmann shows how this discourse stands in opposition to the colonial structuring of society and its effects - such as discrimination and inequality - and is therefore to be understood as decolonial

The political economy of status and culture change policy , 'This volume is innovative in terms of its subject matter, approach, theoretical development and policy prescription. It should be read by economists and policymakers who want to understand and address significant contemporary changes in society: the growing importance of status markets for goods and their relationship with superstar markets for labour. Theodore Koutsobinas employs a pluralist approach, drawing on psychology, anthropology, sociology and philosophy in order to develop a political economy theory of culture change with respect to status.'--Sheila Dow, University of Stirling, UK. 'Global inequality represents the challenge of our age. The Political Economy of Status demonstrates that rising inequality involves profound cultural, psychological, and philosophical changes because it is interlinked with the meteoric growth of superstar markets - that is, markets for positional goods, which now permeate most economies. , Consequently, taking on inequality will require not just smart economic policies, but moral leadership.'--Gary Dymski, University of Leeds, UK. 'Consumption is a theme that many economists avoid and, after reading this important work by Koutsobinas, it should be clear why: it is a highly complex topic that can only be understood if insights from a number of different perspectives are seamlessly combined. Through a comprehensive examination of these perspectives, Koutsobinas achieves this in his book, offering a fundamental contribution to how the social sciences understand consumption.'--Wilfred Dolfsma, University of Groningen, the Netherlands. In this timely book, Theodore Koutsobinas explores the system of status markets and their social effects including inequality. He explains how media fascination with superstars and luxury consumption goods amplify positional concerns for all, distort the aspirations of the middle class and cause relative deprivation. , Building on themes first identified by Veblen and Galbraith, the author analyses extensively the behavioural evidence from modern interdisciplinary research and contributes constructively to a new genre of economic analysis. The Political Economy of Status compels us to seriously consider redistributive culture change policies targeted to assist the underprivileged. This book will be a valuable and lively reading resource for academics in various fields including economic theory, political economy, sociology, social psychology and cultural studies
