Electricity, electromagnetism and magnetism

Why study relativistic particle physics?

Geometrical optics is no longer fashionable.

The geomagnetic field observed on the surface of the earth has been an important source of information on the dynamic behavior of the magnetosphere.

The quantum theory of magnetism is a well-developed part of contemporary solid-state physics.

This book was originally published in Japanese in honour of Professor S.

This volume contains the proceedings of the ffiM Japan International Sympo- sium on Strong Correlation and Superconductivity, which was held in Keidan- ren Guest House at the foot of Mt.

This volume is the proceedings of the Tsukuba Institute '87 on Fermi Surface Effects, which was held August 27-29, 1987, at Tsukuba Science City in Japan.

Starting with a historical introduction to the study of magnetism - one of the oldest sciences known to man - before considering the most modern theories and observations (magnetic bubbles and soap films, effects of magnetic impurities in metals and spin glasses), this book develops the concepts and the mathematical expertise necessary to understand contemporary research in this field.

This volume deals with physical properties of electrically one-dimensional conductors.

The Sixth Annual Conference of the Center for Nonlinear Studies at the Los Alamos National Laboratory was held May 5-9, 1986, on the topic "e;Nonlinearity in Condensed Matter: Lessons from the Past and Prospects for the Future.

High magnetic fields have been an important tool in semiconductor physics for a long time.

The present volume contains the courses given at a Summer School on "e;Magne- tic Phase Transitions"e; held at the Ettore Majorana Centre for Scientific Culture, at Erice (Trapani), Italy in July 1983 under the auspices of the Condensed Matter Division of the European Physical Society in their series on Materials Science and Technology.

The popularity of the First Edition of this book has been very gratifying.

Speech by Toyosaburo Taniguchi Welcome my friends to the Third International Symposium, Division on the Theory of Condensed Matter, of the Taniguchi Foundation.

When I was a student, in the early fifties, the properties of gratings were generally explained according to the scalar theory of optics.

When, in the spring of 1979, H.

The image taken by a moving camera changes with time.

WAVE TURBULENCE is a state of a system of many simultaneously excited and interacting waves characterized by an energy distribution which is not in any sense close to thermodynamic equilibrium.

Many novel cooperative phenomena found in a variety of systems studied by scientists can be treated using the uniting principles of synergetics.

Since the discovery by Bednorz and Muller of Cu-O alloys displaying high temperature superconductivity, great energy has been put into research in this field.

From an engineering perspective, Electrodynamics is the province of two cul- tures.

The field of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) has developed at a fascinating pace during the last decade.

Electrical conductivity is a parameter which characterizes composition and physical state of the Earth's interior.

Caustics, Catastrophes and Wave Fields in a sense continues the treatment of the earlier volume 6 "e;Geometrical Optics of Inhomogeneous Media"e; in the present book series, by analysing caustics and their fields on the basis of modern catastrophe theory.

During the last decades the knowledge of the magnetic properties of the d transition elements and of their metallic alloys and compounds has increased widely.

This book reviews the current understanding of electronic, optical and magnetic properties of conjugated polymers in both the semiconducting and metallic states.

The aim of this book is to describe and discuss the aurora as an optical phenomenon, one which can be observed by the naked eye as well as with more sensitive optical detectors.

159 elements only between states which differ in one of the single-electron wave functions, in short, HeR induces only one-electron transitions.

will be "e;asymptotically integrable"e;, that is to say, if we displace a vector parallel to itself along a closed curve whose total length is proportional to r, then, as we remove the curve to infinity, the change of the vector that results from the circuit about the curve will tend to zero.

The physics of strongly interacting matter in an external magnetic field is presently emerging as a topic of great cross-disciplinary interest for particle, nuclear, astro- and condensed matter physicists.

This book describes theoretical aspects of the metallic magnetism from metals to disordered alloys to amorphous alloys both at the ground state and at finite temperatures.

This multi-authored textbook addresses graduate students with a background in physics, mathematics or computer science.

The field of highly frustrated magnetism has developed considerably and expanded over the last 15 years.

The renormalization group (RG) has nowadays achieved the status of a meta-theory, which is a theory about theories.
