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.
Inelastic neutron scattering is a well established and important technique for studying the dynamical properties of condensed matter at the atomic level.
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.
Since the first edition of "e;Scanning 'funneling Microscopy I"e; has been pub- lished, considerable progress has been made in the application of STM to the various classes of materials treated in this volume, most notably in the field of adsorbates and molecular systems.
Quantum Optics VI documents the most recent theoretical and experimental developments in this field, with particular emphasis on atomic optics and interferometry, which is a new and rapidly developing area of research.
Over the last two decades, the search for a compact, high-power semiconductor source has produced many designs and concepts for monolithic diode-laser arrays and optical amplifiers.
This volume summarizes the papers presented at the First Osaka University Macromolecular Symposium OUMS'93 on "e;Ordering in Macromolecular Systems"e;, which was held at Senri Life Science Center, Osaka, Japan, on June 3 through June 6, 1993.
The current book describes the chemical and physical behavior of polymers and biopolymers that form highly associating structures in equilibrium solution.
Nanostructures and Quantum Effects documents the most recent developments in the field of quantum effects in semiconductor nanostructures such as quantum wires and boxes.
Laser Ablation provides a broad picture of the current understanding of laser ablation and its many applications, from the views of key contributors to the field.
Adsorption on Ordered Surfaces of Ionic Solids and ThinFilms introduces to a new and topical field of surfacescience for which rather little experience is available atpresent.
In this text experts review experimental studies thatdirectly reveal the relationship between the atomicstructure and physical behavior of high-Tc superconductors.
As the role of computer simulations began to increase in importance, we sensed a need for a "e;meeting place"e; for both experienced simulators and neophytes to discuss new techniques and results in an evironment which promotes extended discussion.
This introduction to classical theoretical physics emerged from a course for students in the third and fourth semester, which the authors have given several times at the University of Freiburg (Germany).
Applying fractal geometry to science is bringing about a breakthrough in our understanding of complex systems in nature that show self-similar or self-affine features.
The 30 contributions of this volume cover the main European regions for oil and gas exploration: the North Sea and adjacent areas, the central and eastern Mediterranean including offshore Albania, central and eastern Europe including Poland, Hungary, the Russian platform and offshore Bulgaria.
