L'interet que portait Henri Poincare (1854-1912) a des questions d'ordre physique a ete durable et profond; elle couvre presque toute sa carriere, et marque l'histoire de la physique tout au long du 20^eme siecle. Sa correspondance avec cinquante-et-un physiciens, quatre chimistes, et cinq ingenieurs commence des 1879, lorsqu'il s'engage activement dans la recherche scientifique. Elle est rythmee par des grandes decouvertes d'ordre experimental, instrumental, et theorique.

This book provides an overview of many of the dramatic recent developments in the fields of astronomy, cosmology and fundamental physics. Topics include observations of the structure in the cosmic background radiation, evidence for an accelerating Universe, the extraordinary concordance in the fundamental parameters of the Universe coming from these and other diverse observations, the search for dark matter candidates, evidence for neutrino oscillations, space experiments on fundamental physics, and discoveries of extrasolar planets. This book will be useful for researchers and graduate...

Il volume si propone lo scopo di fornire al lettore i concetti fisici fondamentali che stanno alla base della spettroscopia atomica e dei processi di emissione e assorbimento della radiazione nei plasmi di laboratorio e astrofisici, coprendo argomenti fondamentali quali gli spettri atomici di atomi a uno o piu elettroni, la quantizzazione del campo elettromagnetico, l'interazione fra materia e radiazione (trattata sia dal punto di vista classico che quantistico), le transizioni radiative, i fenomeni di equilibrio e non-equilibrio nei plasmi, la teoria del trasporto radiativo, l'emissione...

This treatment of Solid State Physics offers modern coverage of the theory and related experiments. Integrated throughout are developments from the newest semiconductor devices. The book is structured to accommodate a two-semester course.

Application of the concepts and methods of topology and geometry have led to a deeper understanding of many crucial aspects in condensed matter physics, cosmology, gravity and particle physics. This book can be considered an advanced textbook on modern applications and recent developments in these fields of physical research. Written as a set of largely self-contained extensive lectures, the book gives an introduction to topological concepts in gauge theories, BRST quantization, chiral anomalies, sypersymmetric solitons and noncommutative geometry. It will be of benefit to postgraduate...

This is a book about representing symmetry in quantum mechanics. The book is on a graduate and/or researcher level and it is written with an attempt to be concise, to respect conceptual clarity and mathematical rigor. The basic structures of quantum mechanics are used to identify the automorphism group of quantum mechanics. The main concept of a symmetry action is defined as a group homomorphism from a given group, the group of symmetries, to the automorphism group of quantum mechanics. The structure of symmetry actions is determined under the assumption that the symmetry group is a Lie...

Of interest to scientists working in the field of optics or nonlinear physics, this book gives an overview of current developments in nonlinear photorefractive optics. It dicusses exciting discoveries, with special emphasis on transverse effects such as spatial soliton formation and interaction, spontaneous pattern formation and pattern competition in active feedback systems. Different aspects of potential applications, such as wave guiding in adaptive photorefractive solitons and techniques for pattern control for information processing, are also described. The author Professor Denz...

This book defines the turbulence inverse problem and offers a solution technique. It also explains normal burning transition, and the turbulence inverse problem is set and solved as applied to plasma channels created by laser Besselian beams.

This book unveils and formulates the principal features that govern myriads of the molecular self-organization processes in micro-, nano-, and macro-dimensions from the following key representatives such as liquid water and aqueous solutions, and molecular liquids, nanodots, nanoparticles including gold, solitons, biomolecules such as DNA and proteins, biopolymers and biosensors, catalysis, molecular modeling, molecular devices, and thin films, and to offer another, more advanced directions in computational, experimental, and technological areas of nano- and bioscience towards engineering...

Semiconductors are at the heart of modern living. Almost everything we do, be it work, travel, communication, or entertainment, all depend on some feature of semiconductor technology. Comprehensive Semiconductor Science and Technology captures the breadth of this important field, and presents it in a single source to the large audience who study, make, and exploit semiconductors. Previous attempts at this achievement have been abbreviated, and have omitted important topics. Written and Edited by a truly international team of experts, this work delivers an objective yet cohesive global...
