"From Aristotle to Schrodinger: The Curiosity of Physics" offers a novel introduction to the topics commonly encountered in the first two years of an undergraduate physics course, including classical mechanics, thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, electromagnetism, relativity, quantum mechanics, atomic and molecular physics, and astrophysics. The book presents physics as it evolved historically; it covers in considerable depth the development of the subject from ancient Greece to the present day. Though the emphasis is on the observations, experiments, theories, and applications of...

Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) Technology: Manufacture and Applications covers SOI transistors and circuits, manufacture, and reliability. The book also looks at applications such as memory, power devices, and photonics.

The book is divided into two parts; part one covers SOI materials and manufacture, while part two covers SOI devices and applications. The book begins with chapters that introduce techniques for manufacturing SOI wafer technology, the electrical properties of advanced SOI materials, and modeling short-channel SOI semiconductor transistors. Both partially depleted...

The book starts by explaining in detail the idea of the effective Hamiltonian, and explains how renormalization can be used to understand the difference between hydrogen and oxygen molecules concerning magnetism, before addressing more sophisticated uses of renormalization for Kondo systems and superconductivity, including multiple bands and with repulsive interactions.

Emphasis is also placed on one-dimensional systems, which include Kondo impurity systems via certain mapping. The book then presents a self-contained description of the method of bosonization and...

Das vorliegende Tutorium richtet sich an alle, die endlich einmal von der Pike auf die Physik und Mathematik der Quantenmechanik verstehen wollen: Was genau ist eigentlich ein Hilbert-Raum? Was ist ein hermitescher Operator? Ein Tensorprodukt? Ein verschrankter Zustand? Inwiefern sind Wellenfunktionen Vektoren?

Das Buch behandelt den Stoff der entsprechenden Kursvorlesung im Rahmen der theoretischen Physik einpragsam und auf eine gut verstandliche Weise. Es konzentriert sich dabei auf die allgemeinen Postulate der Quantenmechanik und geht auch auf die Fragestellung hinsichtlich der...

This thesis introduces the concept of "thermal pure quantum (TPQ) states," which are pure quantum states in equilibrium. The author establishes a new formulation of statistical mechanics based on the TPQ states. This formulation allows us to obtain not only mechanical variables but also thermodynamic variables such as entropy and free energy from a single TPQ state. Furthermore, the formulation provides a new physical description in which all fluctuations including thermally driven ones are uniquely identified to be quantum fluctuations.

The use of TPQ formulation has practical...

In this monograph, group-theoretical approaches are used to build a system of hadrons and qualitatively describe the properties of chemical compounds. This serves as a complement to numerically and approximately solve the many-electron Schrodinger equation, in order to understand the behavior of chemical elements. Besides general theory, specific results are compared with experimentally measured chemical properties.

Perturbative Algebraic Quantum Field Theory (pAQFT), the subject of this book, is a complete and mathematically rigorous treatment of perturbative quantum field theory (pQFT) that doesn t require the use of divergent quantities and works on a large class of Lorenzian manifolds.

We discuss in detail the examples of scalar fields, gauge theories and the effective quantum gravity.

pQFT models describe a wide range of physical phenomena and have remarkable agreement with experimental results. Despite this success, the theory suffers from many conceptual problems. pAQFT is a...

This book explains, in simple terms, with a minimum of mathematics, why things can appear to be in two places at the same time, why correlations between simultaneous events occurring far apart cannot be explained by local mechanisms, and why, nevertheless, the quantum theory can be understood in terms of matter in motion. No need to worry, as some people do, whether a cat can be both dead and alive, whether the moon is there when nobody looks at it, or whether quantum systems need an observer to acquire definite properties. The author's inimitable and even humorous style makes the book a...

J. J. Sakurai's treatment of various elementary particle phenomena, is written for those not completely familiar with field theory who wish to gain insight into theoretical problems. Since the manuscript for his book was completed, a very important development has taken place in particle physics-the discovery of the p, w, and n mesons: in view of this development, the author has added a new section devoted exclusively to these new mesons and resonances.

Originally published in 1964.
