Physics

When an area of research is in fast growth, it often happens that no one single journal is to be found where most of the relevant publications are contained.

It is now a quarter of a century since Junge and his coworkers recovered the first sample from the sulfate aerosol layer in the stratosphere.

Crystals and polycrystals,composites and polymers, grids and multibar systems can be considered as examples of media with microstructure.

In studying the radiation-matter interaction, one can take two different approaches.

This volume contains most of the lectures presented at the meeting held in Carry-le- nd Rouet from the 2 to the 4th June 1980 and entitled "e;Numerical Methods in the Study of Critical Phenomena"e;.

The material of this volume was originally planned to be incorporated in the preceding monograph Mechanics and Energetics of Biological Transport.

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.

The Third IUTAM Symposium on Creep in Structures was held at Leicester University in September 1980 thereby continuing the tradition of a ten yearly review of progress in structural creep initiated by the previous symposia held at Stanford University in 1960 and Chalmers University in 1970.

This volume represents the Proceedings of the Oji International Seminar on the Application of High Magnetic Fields in the Physics of Semiconductors and Magnetic Materials, which was held at the Hakone Kanko Hotel, Hakone, Japan, from 10 to 13 September 1980.

In 1966, E.

No single volume has been entirely devoted to the properties of magnetic lenses, so far as I am aware, although of course all the numerous textbooks on electron optics devote space to them.

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

This is the Proceedings of the Taniguchi International Symposium on "e;Relaxation of Elementary Excitations"e; which was held October 12-16,1979, at Susono-shi (at the foot of f1t.

When, in the spring of 1979, H.

This book is based on the results of many years of experimental work by the author and his colleagues, dealing with the electronic properties of organic crystals.

This is the second book in a new series - "e;Materials Research and Engineering"e; - devoted to the science and technology of materials.

This is the first book in a new series - "e;Materials Research and Engineering"e; - devoted to the science and technology of materials.

The suggestion by Dr.

Discovery of new transport phenomena and invention of electron devices through exploitation of these phenomena have caused a great deal of interest in the properties of compound semiconductors in recent years.

Towards the end of the 1960s, a number of quite different circumstances combined to launch a period of intense activity in the digital processing of electron micro- graphs.

This phonon atlas presents a collection of phonon-dispersion and density-of- states curves of more than a hundred insulating crystals.

Synchrotron radiation as a spectroscopic research tool has undergone a most inter- esting and astonishing historical development and has now come to the stage of an exciting boom.

This Topics volume is devoted to a study of sound propagation in the ocean.

The Raman effect is a most useful tool for the study of molecular vibrations and molecular structure.

Inelastic Electron Tunneling Spectroscop~ or lETS, provides a unique technique for electronically monitoring the vibrational modes of molecul (;5 adsorbed on a metal oxide surface.

The central subject of this volume is the atomic and molecular physics of heavy par- ticles as investigated with charged particle accelerators.

The theory of relativity was created in 1905 to solve a problem concerning electromagnetic fields.

Inelastic neutron scattering is a well established and important technique for studying the dynamical properties of condensed matter at the atomic level.

Mon but n'a jamais be de m'occuper des ces matieres comme physicien, mais seulement comme /ogicien .

The model calculations considered here test the DWBA with a wide range of three-body models.

The first Symposium Transsonicum took pl.

The purpose of the Symposium was to provide a meeting place for those working in the field of s*peech perception, whose main in- terest is in the study of the perceptual processes in the deco- ding of connected speech, hence the title Dynamic Aspects of Speech Perception.

The study of stability aims at understanding the abrupt changes which are observed in fluid motions as the external parameters are varied.

Over the past ten years liquid crystals have attracted much interest and considerable progress has been made with respect to our knowledge in this field.

Since the discovery of the corpuscular nature of radiation by Planck more than fifty years ago the quantum theory of radiation has gone through many stages of development which seemed to alternate between spectacular success and hopeless frustration.

The above consideration indicates that at present many of the experi- mental facts on PS in animals can be quantitatively explained within the limits of the "e;universal"e; photoreceptor membrane concept.
