In recent years topology has firmly established itself as an important part of the physicist's mathematical arsenal.

The present book is not merely an elaboration of the 1982 text Quantum Chromodynamics: An Introduction to the Theory of Quarks and Gluons.

Simple random walks - or equivalently, sums of independent random vari- ables - have long been a standard topic of probability theory and mathemat- ical physics.

The Monte Carlo method is now widely used and commonly accepted as an important and useful tool in solid state physics and related fields.

In these days of specialization it is important to bring together physicists working in diverse areas to exchange and share their ideas and excitement.

I think it is expedient here to clearly specify the readership for whom this book is intended.

Due to new technological progress in the development of ionsources and accelerators interesting kinds of beams are nowavailable.

High resolution helium atom scattering can be applied tostudy a number of interesting properties of solid surfaceswith great sensitivity and accuracy.

The idea for this book stemmed from a remark by Philip Jennings of Murdoch University in a discussion session following a regular meeting of the Australian Surface Science group.

Ever since its invention in 1929 the Dirac equation has played a fundamental role in various areas of modern physics and mathematics.

This book is a revised and up-dated translation of Denki DendOsei Sankabutsu (Electronic Conduction in Oxides) published by Shokabo in Tokyo in 1983 as the second volume of the Material Science Series, which was edited for postgraduate students by T.

Materials processing with lasers is a rapidly expanding field which is increasingly captivating the attention of scientists, engineers and manufacturers alike.

In this edition the second and main part of the book has been considerably expanded as to cover important applications of the formalism.

The idea for this book originated from an International Conference on Mag- netic Structures in Superconductors organized by John R.

In this book the author carefully analyses the role of the concept of causality in Quantum Electrodynamics.

The first edition of this book was written as a text and has been used many times in a one-year graduate quantum mechanics course.

There are many ways to write a book on shells.

This book introduces the concept of crystallographic non-rigidity and asymmetry of the transition elements as centralatoms organometallic compounds.

"e;Quantum Dynamics"e; is a major survey of quantum theory based on Walter Greiner's long-running and highly successful courses at the University of Frankfurt.

Physics of New Materials starts from basic science,specially solid-state physics, and then moves into theresearch and development of advanced materials.

This textbook provides a comprehensive overview of biomimetics and biologically inspired materials, capturing the essence of innovation that draws inspiration from nature.

This book highlights the properties of nanocomposite material, especially with inputs from the interphase effects, which are crucial for their diverse applications.

In the past 10 to 15 years, the quantum leap inunderstanding of nonlinear dynamics has radically changedthe frame of reference of physicists contemplating suchsystems.

Diverse areas of physics and its applications deal with wave scattering at rough surfaces: optics, acoustics, remote sensing, radio astronomy, physics of solids, diffraction theory, radio and wave-propagation techniques, etc.

This book is aimed at enabling the reader to obtain a working knowledge of the nuclear shell model and to understand nuclear structure within the framework of the shell model.

The book has evolved from the author's continuing teaching of the subject and from two editions of a text of the same title.

The initial impetus for the search for an organic superconductor was the proposal of the existence of a polymer superconductor with a high critical temperature (Tc).

This textbook is intended as an introduction to surface science for graduate students.

Quantum chemistry and solid-state theory are two importantrelated fields ofresearch that have grown up with almost nocross communication.

While the first two volumes on Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) and its related scanning probe (SXM) methods have mainly concentrated on intro- ducing the experimental techniques, as well as their various applications in different research fields, this third volume is exclusively devoted to the theory of STM and related SXM methods.

The second edition of this book again enjoyed a very positive reception from both uni- versity teachers and students.

Graduate students who want to become familiar with advanced computational strategies in classical and quantum dynamics will find here both the fundamentals of a standard course and a detailed treatment of the time-dependent oscillator, Chern-Simons mechanics, the Maslov anomaly and the Berry phase, together with many worked examples throughout the text.

In crystals as diverse as sodium chloride, silicon dioxide,sold xenon, pyrene, arsenic triselenide, and silverchloride, the fundamental electronicexcitation (exciton) islocalized within its own lattice distortion field veryshortly after its creation.

Now in its 2nd edition, Quantum Mechanics on the PC presents the most up-to-date approach to elementary quantum mechanics.

Scanning Tunneling Microscopy II, like its predecessor,presents detailed and comprehensive accounts of the basicprinciples and broad range of applications of STM andrelated scanning probe techniques.

Scanning Tunneling Microscopy I provides a unique introduction to a novel and fascinating technique that produces beautiful images of nature on an atomic scale.

Quantum chemistry and solid-state theory are two important related fields of research that have grown up with almost no cross communication.

Four years aga Walter Thirring suggested to me that it would be desirable to have a book describing recent results of the "e;algebraic approach"e; to quantum field theory and statistical mechanics.

This fourth edition contains a few additional figures.

This book aims at providing graduate students and researchers with funda- mental knowledge indispensable for entering the new field of "e;microclus- 3 ters"e;.

Laser-Assisted Microtechnology deals with laser applications to a wide variety of problems in microelectronic design and fabrication.
