Know about the book -

Beam Processing and Laser Chemistry is written by I.W. Boyd and published by Elsevier. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0444596658 (ISBN 10) and 9780444596659 (ISBN 13).

This volume discusses both the practical and theoretical aspects of energy beam materials processing. It highlights the recent advances in the use of beams and incoherent light sources to enhance or modify chemical processes at solid surfaces. Special attention is given to the latest developments in the use of ion, electron and photon beams, and on laser-assisted process chemistry. Thin film and surface and interface reactions as well as bulk phase transformations are discussed. Practical technological details and the criteria for present and future applications are also reviewed. The papers collected in this volume reflect the continuing strong interest and variety of development in this field.
