Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This volume contains a selection of important papers by P.G. de Gennes (1991 Nobel Prize Winner in Physics) which have had a long-lasting impact on the understanding of condensed matter (solid state physics, liquid crystals, polymers, interfaces, wetting and adhesion). A typical example is the original article on "reptation" of polymer chains. The author has added some "afterthoughts" to the main papers (explaining their successes or weaknesses), and some current views on each special problem. Complex systems (polymers or granular matters, and so forth) are explained without heavy...

The main focus of the text is on the most important aspects of each system, making what approximations are necessary in order to proceed analytically and obtain formulae for the properties. In spite of the diversity of systems and materials, the approach to electronic structure is systematic and coherent, combining the tight-binding (or atomic) picture with the pseudopotential (or free-electron) picture.

Lecture Notes on Equilibrium Point Defects and Thermophysical Properties of Metals
ISBN: 9789810241407 / Angielski / Twarda / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Despite the significant progress in the study of point defects in metals, some important problems still do not have unambiguous solutions. One of the most practically important questions relates to equilibrium defect concentrations. There exist two opposite viewpoints: (1) defect contributions to physical properties of metals at high temperatures are small and cannot be separated from the effects of anharmonicity; the equilibrium defect concentrations at the melting points are in the range of 10-4 to 10-3; (2) in many cases, defect contributions to the specific heat of metals are much larger...

Quark Confinement and the Hadron Spectrum III
ISBN: 9789810242367 / Angielski / Twarda / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The confinement mechanism of the quarks in QCD is one of the most challenging and open problems in physics. Confinement is a nonperturbative phenomenon, and a definite way to handle it has not yet been found in field theory. There are lattice calculations that can produce the low-lying states of the spectrum and "measure" many important physical quantities, but nevertheless the development of analytical techniques is of extreme importance for understanding the physics involved in confinement. In this respect it is important to test the results obtained directly from the theory (Bethe-Salpeter...

Liquid Crystals: Fundamentals
ISBN: 9789810242503 / Angielski / Twarda / 548 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Liquid crystals are partially ordered systems without a rigid, long-range structure. The study of these materials covers a wide area: chemical structure, physical properties and technical applications. Due to their dual nature -- anisotropic physical properties of solids and rheological behavior of liquids -- and easy response to externally applied electric, magnetic, optical and surface fields liquid crystals are of greatest potential for scientific and technological applications. The subject has come of age and has achieved the status of being a very exciting interdisciplinary field of...

ISBN: 9789810243180 / Angielski / Twarda / 512 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Quantum many-body theory as a discipline in its own right dates largely from the 1950's. It has developed since then to its current position as one of the cornerstones of modern theoretical physics. The field remains vibrant and active, vigorous and exciting. Indeed, its successes and importance were vividly illustrated prior to the conference by the sharing of the 1998 Nobel Prizes in both Physics and Chemistry by three many-body theorists. Two of those Nobel laureates, Walter Kohn and Bob Laughlin, delivered invited lectures at this meeting, the tenth in the series of International...
