Quantum Liquids: Bose Condensation and Cooper Pairing in Condensed-Matter Systems
ISBN: 9780198526438 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Starting from first principles, this book introduces the closely related phenomena of Bose condensation and Cooper pairing, in which a very large number of single particles or pairs of particles are forced to behave in exactly the same way, and explores their consequences in condensed matter systems. Eschewing advanced formal methods, the author uses simple concepts and arguments to account for the various qualitatively new phenomena which occur in Bose-condensed and Cooper-paired systems, including but not limited to the spectacular macroscopic phenomena of superconductivity and...

Micropalaeontology in Petroleum Exploration
ISBN: 9780198526476 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 452 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Many papers have noted the association between micropaleontology and petroleum exploration, but no book has ever provided a comprehensive and thematic treatment. This book attempts to do just that. It begins with an overview of pure micropaleontology, then treats the principles and practice of applied micropaleontology and sequence stratigraphy; case studies of applications in various geographic, geologic, and stratigraphic settings are given. The final section deals with applications outside petroleum exploration, with sections on environmental monitoring, coal mining, mineral exploration...

Crystallography of Modular Materials
ISBN: 9780198526643 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This is the first book to provide a comprehensive treatment of theories and applications in the rapidly expanding field of the crystallography of molecular materials. Molecules are the natural modules from which molecular crystalline structures are built. Most inorganic structures, however are infinite arrays of atoms and some kinds of surrogate modules, e.g. coordination polyhedra, are usually used to describe them. In recent years, the attention has been focused on complex modules as the basis for a systematic description of polytypes and homologous/polysomatic series (modular structures)....

Newton's Principia for the Common Reader
ISBN: 9780198526759 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 624 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Representing a decade's work from one of the world's most distinguished physicists, this major publication is, as far as is known, the first comprehensive analysis of Newton's Principia without recourse to secondary sources. Chandrasekhar analyses some 150 propositions which form a direct chain leading to Newton's formulation of his universal law of gravitation. In each case, Newton's proofs are arranged in a linear sequence of equations and arguments, avoiding the need to unravel the necessarily convoluted style of Newton's connected prose. In almost every case, a modern version of the...

Liquid Crystal Elastomers
ISBN: 9780198527671 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Liquid crystals are fluids with directionality defined. Polymers are long molecules with a shape that can be changed. As a network, polymers form rubber-a soft solid that is locally liquid-like and capable of huge extension. Liquid crystal elastomers area combination of all these curious aspects, but with additional, revolutionary new phenomena-for example, spontaneous shape changes of several hundred percent induced by temperature change, with equally large opto-mechanical responses, shape change without energy cost (Soft elasticity), color change with strain, lasing and photonics,...

Light Is a Messenger: The Life and Science of William Lawrence Bragg
ISBN: 9780198529217 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 338 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Light is a Messenger, is the first biography of William Lawrence Bragg, who was only 25 when he won the 1915 Nobel Prize in Physics-the youngest person ever to win a Nobel Prize. It describes how bragg discovered how to use X-rays to determine the arrangement of atoms in crystals and his pivotal role in developing this technique to the point that the structures of the most complex molecules known to man-the proteins and nucelic acids-could be solved. Although Bragg's Nobel Prize was for Physics, his research profoundly affected chemistry and the new field of molecular biology, of which he...

Plasma Spectroscopy
ISBN: 9780198530282 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book focuses on the characteristics of optical radiation, or a spectrum, emitted by various plasmas. In plasma, the same atomic species can produce quite different spectra, or colors depending on the nature of the plasma. This book gives a theoretical framework, by which a particular spectrum can be interpreted correctly and coherently. The uniqueness of the book lies in its comprehensive treatment of the intensity distribution of spectral lines and the population density distribution among the atomic levels, in plasma. It is intended to provide beginners with a good perspective of the...

Kinetic Theory of Granular Gases provides an introduction to the rapidly developing theory of dissipative gas dynamics - a theory which has mainly evolved over the last decade. The book is aimed at readers from the advanced undergraduate level upwards and leads on to the present state of research. Throughout, special emphasis is put on a microscopically consistent description of pairwise particle collisions which leads to an impact-velocity-dependent coefficient of restitution.

Quantum Field Theory of Many-Body Systems: From the Origin of Sound to an Origin of Light and Electrons
ISBN: 9780198530947 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 524 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. For most of the last century, condensed matter physics has been dominated by band theory and Landau's symmetry breaking theory. In the last twenty years, however, there has been the emergence of a new paradigm associated with fractionalization, topological order, emergent gauge bosons and fermions, and string condensation. These new physical concepts are so fundamental that they may even influence our understanding of the origin of light and electrons in the universe. This book is a pedagogical and systematic introduction to the new concepts and quantum field theoretical methods in condensed...
