Materials / States of matter

Although it has changed considerably in both coverage and length, this book originated from lecture courses at the Ecole Poly technique.

The need to predict, understand, and optimize complex physical and c- mical processes occurring in and around the earth, such as groundwater c- tamination, oil reservoir production, discovering new oil reserves, and ocean hydrodynamics, has been increasingly recognized.

Modern physics is confronted with a large variety of complex spatial patterns.

The idea of editing the present volume in the Lecture Notes in Physics series arosewhileorganizingthe"e;ConferenceonIrreversibleQuantumDynamics"e;that took place at The Abdus Salam International Center for Theoretical Physics, Trieste, Italy, from July 29 to August 2, 2002.

The ?

"e;Granular Gases"e; are diluted many-particle systems in which the mean free path of the particles is much larger than the typical particle size, and where particle collisions occur dissipatively.

A knowledge of the mechanical behaviour of both naturally occurring materials, such as soils and rocks, and artificial materials such as concrete and industrial granular matter, is of fundamental importance to their proper use in engineering and scientific applications.

The International Workshop on Holography in Medicine and Biology was held in MUnster, Federal Republic of Germany, on March 14th and 15th, 1979, at the Clinic of Otorhinolaryngology of the Westfalische Wilhelms-Universitat within the frame of the Symposium 79 of the Sonderforschungsbereich 88 "e;Teratology and Rehabilitation of Patients with Multiple Handicaps' of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.

Inelastic scattering of X-rays with very high energyresolution has finally become possible thanks to a newgeneration of high-intensity X-ray sources.

It is with great pleasure that we present this completely revised English e- tion of our book How Does MRI Work?

This book is devoted to the problem of inelastic light scattering in semiconductors, i.

This volume is written for those who desire a comprehensive analysis of the latest developments in infrared detector technology and a basic insight into the fundamental processes which are important to evolving detection techniques.

Density functional theory (DFT) is by now a well-established method for tackling the quantum mechanics of many-body systems.

This volume contains the edited lectures of the fourth Mittelwihr school on 'Magnetismand Synchrotron Radiation'.

Based on the method of canonical transformation of variables and the classical perturbation theory, this innovative book treats the systematic theory of symplectic mappings for Hamiltonian systems and its application to the study of the dynamics and chaos of various physical problems described by Hamiltonian systems.

Springer Handbook of Condensed Matter and Materials Data provides a concise compilation of data and functional relationships from the fields of solid-state physics and materials in this 1200 page volume.

Complex plasmas are dusty plasmas in which the density and electric charges of the dust grains are sufficiently high to induce long-range grain-grain interactions, as well as strong absorption of charged-plasma components.

The ability to understand and control the unique properties of interfaces has created an entirely new field of magnetism, with profound impact in technology and serving as the basis for a revolution in electronics.

Addressing graduate students and researchers, this book gives a very detailed theoretical and computational description of multiple scattering in solid matter.

Dieses Buch untersucht das Potenzial von magnetischen Supraleitern in Speichersystemen, wobei der Fokus auf supraleitenden magnetischen Energiespeichersystemen (SMES) liegt und das spanische Stromnetz, das von Red Electrica de Espana (REE) kontrolliert wird, als Beispiel dient.

This book covers the latest advancements and applications of nonlinear dynamics in various fields of science and engineering, presenting a curated selection of peer-reviewed contributions at the 2nd International Conference on Nonlinear Dynamics and Applications (ICNDA 2024) at Sikkim Manipal Institute of Technology (SMIT).

This book provides a model description for the electromagnetic response of topological nodal semimetals and summarizes recent experimental findings in these systems.

This book comprehensively presents an unconventional quantum criticality caused by valence fluctuations, which offers theoretical understanding of unconventional Fermi-liquid properties in cerium- and ytterbium-based heavy fermion metals including CeCu2(Si,Ge)2 and CeRhIn5 under pressure, and quasicrystal -YbAlB4 and Yb15Al34Au51.

This comprehensive guide invites nations worldwide to embark on a transformative journey, implementing independent third-party verification systems that ensure medical devices comply with both international and national regulations.

Precision Nanometrology describes the new field of precision nanometrology, which plays an important part in nanoscale manufacturing of semiconductors, optical elements, precision parts and similar items.
