Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This book provides an introductory overview of warm dense matter research for new postgraduate students entering the field. Author David Riley, based at the Centre for Plasma Physics at Queen's University Belfast, covers a broad range of topics with an emphasis on experimental techniques. The text begins with an introduction to the basic physics of warm dense matter and its important features, then moves on to discuss the principal techniques for creating warm dense matter and approaches to diagnosing it. Topics covered include the generation of warm dense matter via laser driven shocks and X-ray sources, explosives, gas guns and ion beams, as well as X-ray free electron lasers. Principal optical and X-ray diagnostics are also discussed. The book concludes with an overview of the large-scale facilities that are most commonly used for warm dense matter research and the technologies they employ. Key Features - Written by a leading expert in the field. - Includes discussion of the principal methods for creating and diagnosing warm dense matter. - Covers recent advances in the field and new technologies. - Provides an overview of research facilities currently in use and under development.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Biophysics of the Senses (Second Edition) connects fundamental properties of physics to biological systems, relating them directly to the human body. It includes discussions of the role of charges and free radicals in disease and homeostasis, how aspects of mechanics impact normal body functions, human bioelectricity and circuitry, forces within the body, and biophysical sensory mechanisms. This is an exciting view of how sensory aspects of biophysics are utilized in everyday life for students who are curious but struggle with the connection between biology and physics. Updates to the first edition include two new chapters covering the mechanics of sound and hearing and power tools. Key Features - Bridges the gap between physics and biology. - Easy to follow for those that are new to the field. - Highlights real-world applications of physics. - Includes step-by-step examples.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This book aims to present a concise introduction, for graduate students and researchers, to powerful techniques and important concepts in condensed matter physics. Key conceptual elements include the fluctuation-dissipation theorem, the theory of critical phenomena (both classical and quantum) and the renormalization group. The book focuses on the Green's functions method and the real space renormalization group (RG). The Green's function method has been used extensively to study a large variety of problems in physics. The authors present a generalized version of the Green's Function method that allows one to use perturbation theory including time dependent perturbations. This can be used to treat a variety of new fundamental problems in condensed matter, such as quantum and topological phase transitions. The real space renormalization group is a highly intuitive method to introduce main concepts in statistical mechanics and the theory of phase transitions. The book discusses the notion of scale invariance, stable and unstable fixed points, flow in parameter space, crossover and relevant and irrelevant perturbations. These will be illustrated with several examples. The book illustrates that the real space RG is very useful for treating problems such as percolation and localized magnetism as described, for example, by the Ising model.The book considers problems in both pure and disordered condensed matter systems and discusses the new effects introduced by the latter. The book presents the solutions of some fundamental problems in condensed matter physics using the methods and tools introduced in the chapters. The calculations will be carried out with step-by-step details to help readers master the techniques. Finally, the book explores how the Green's functions and real space RG techniques detailed can be used to study modern problems arising from the consideration of topological aspects of condensed matter. Key Features: - Provides a generalization of the Green's function method that allows for the treatment of a much larger variety of problems, which should encourage people to study and use it. - Suitable for readers who want to learn about real space renormalization group (RG), whilst avoiding Feynman diagrams and perturbation expansions. The ideas and methods will be introduced by considering different examples. - Contains material that can be covered within a semester and is therefore not too long. - Provides the reader with the tools to tackle their own problems. - Considers actual problems in condensed matter physics such as; quantum phase transition, topological aspects of condensed matter and the effect of disorder on physical properties.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The book is dedicated to the study of theoretical tools in spin models in magnetism. The book presents the basic tools to treat spin models in magnetic systems such as: spin waves, Schwinger bosons formalism, Self-consistent harmonic approximation, Kubo theory, Perturbation theory using Green's function. Several examples where the theory is applied in modern research, are discussed. Some important areas of interest in magnetism today are spin liquids and magnon topological insulators. Both of these subjects are discussed in the book. The book has been written to help graduate students working in the area of spin models in magnetic systems. There are a lot of books that lead with Green's function, but a student has to study almost the whole book to grasp some idea of the theme. The same is true for the linear response theory and spin liquids. The author believes this book will enable students to start doing research in spin models without the need for extensive reading of the literature. Key Features - Presents several kinds of spin wave theories. - Extensively discusses Schwinger bosons. - Includes studies of linear response theory, the Kubo formalism and several kinds of Green's function. - Provides an introduction to spin liquids and the magnon quantum Hall effect. - Provides worked examples of how the theories are applied to spin models. …

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Though the use of various spectroscopic methods and sensor technology is routine in water quality evaluation. Coupled with artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning methods are opening a new era of quality monitoring and predictive analysis. This book acquaints experienced readers with recent advances and how these techniques are finding applications in water analysis for sectors including environmental protection, industry, agriculture, and drinking water provision. Taking a bottom-up approach the work is also suited for an interdisciplinary readership who may not have direct experience in a particular technique. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of data with the help of observed data is included, as are case studies.…
