This volume will contain about 40 invited papers and over 200 contributed papers covering all aspects of high-pressure research in physics, chemistry, materials science and biology.
The purpose of the conference was to bring together experts in research areas of science in which high magnetic fields play an important role, to critically assess the current status of research in these areas, and to discuss promising new directions in science, as well as applications which are at the forefront of these fields.
These proceedings cover topics related to Quasicrystals, including tiling descriptions, high dimensional crystallography, structure studies, metallurgy and phase diagrams, and also properties with special emphasis on dynamics, electronic and mechanical behaviour.
These proceedings focus on nanostructured and non-crystalline materials, including amorphous and multiphase systems, fine particles and granular systems, thin films, polymers and other disordered systems.
The following topics were covered: the study of renormalization group flows between field theories using the methods of quantum integrability, S-matrix theory and the thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz; impurity problems approached both from the point of view of conformal field theory and quantum integrability.
The conference promotes the theoretical and methodological development of crystallographic investigations of aperiodic crystals including modulated structures, polytypes, incommensurate misfit or composite crystals and quasi crystals.
The proceedings provide a topical survey of the static and dynamical magnetic properties of condensed matter studied by neutron scattering which has been the key technique in this field for a long time.
The applications of the use of cold neutrons for condensed matter research at accelerator-based spallation sources are less well-known than that of the use of cold neutrons at reactor sources.
The subject of the exact renormalization group started from pioneering work by Wegner and Houghton in the early seventies and, a decade later, by Polchinski, who formulated the Wilson renormalization group for field theory.
This volume continues the series of proceedings of summer schools on theoretical physics which aim at an adequate description of the structure of condensed matter in terms of sophisticated, advanced mathematical tools.
This review volume provides an up-to-date review of experimental methods and theoretical approaches in the study of dynamical processes in condensed molecular systems.
This review volume contains articles on the recent developments, new ideas, as well as controversial issues dealing with the general phenomena of hopping transport in disordered systems.
The long list of "e;spin glass materials"e; and the summary of the experimental results provided in this book emphasize the common features of spin glasses despite the diversities.
This volume concentrates on the controversy within the scientific community over how to explain, understand and describe the photophysics/photochemistry of this class of materials.
This review volume deals with recent advances in topics of importance to scientists and engineers involved in research and device development utilizing magnetic oxides and multilayers.
Polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) materials are of interest both for their potential in display technology and the fascinating science found in liquid crystals confined to small cavities.
This volume contains two chapters of direct interest for applications: The magnetic vortex states and transformations and the effects of c-axis coupling on the transport properties.
This book is aimed at advanced undergraduates, graduate students and other researchers who possess an introductory background in materials physics and/or chemistry, and an interest in the physical and chemical properties of novel materials, especially transition metal oxides.
This book discusses the unique properties of superfluid phases of 3He, the condensed matter with the outmost broken symmetry, which combine in a surprising way the properties of ordered magnets, liquid crystals and superfluids.
