Springer International Publishing AG Brownian Motion: Elements of Colloid Dynamics
Book SynopsisThis textbook is an introduction to the Brownian motion of colloids and nano-particles, and the diffusion of molecules. One very appealing aspect of Brownian motion, as this book illustrates, is that the subject connects a broad variety of topics, including thermal physics, hydrodynamics, reaction kinetics, fluctuation phenomena, statistical thermodynamics, osmosis and colloid science. The book is based on a set of lecture notes that the authors used for an undergraduate course at the University of Utrecht, Netherland. It aims to provide more than a simplified qualitative description of the subject, without getting bogged down in difficult mathematics. Each chapter contains exercises, ranging from straightforward ones to more involved problems, addressing instances from (thermal motion in) chemistry, physics and life sciences. Exercises also deal with derivations or calculations that are skipped in the main text. The book offers a treatment of Brownian motion on a level appropriate for bachelor/undergraduate students of physics, chemistry, soft matter and the life sciences. PhD students attending courses and doing research in colloid science or soft matter will also benefit from this book.Table of Contents

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Nukleare Festkörperphysik: Kernphysikalische
Book SynopsisDas vorliegende Buch über "Nukleare Festkörperphysik" soll der zuneh menden Bedeutung dieses Gebietes in Forschung und Lehre insbesondere in Deutschland Rechnung tragen. Bei Vorlesungen, die wir seit meh reren Jahren an der Universität Konstanz durchführen, mußten wir fest stellen, daß es eine einheitliche Darstellung des Gebietes der nuklearen Festkörperphysik bisher nicht gibt. Durch die Vorlage dieses Buches woll ten wir diesem Mangel abhelfen. In diesem Buch werden verschiedene kernphysikalische Meßmethoden beschrieben und durch Anwendungsbeispiele aus der Festkörperphysik untermauert. Das Buch ist gedacht als begleitendes Lehrbuch zu einer Vorlesung über nukleare Festkörperphysik oder angewandte Kernphysik, als Lektüre zur Vorbereitung von Seminaren und von Versuchen im Fort geschrittenenpraktikum und als Einstiegslektüre in eines der behandel ten Forschungsgebiete. Der große Zuspruch, den das Buch sowohl bei den Lehrenden wie auch bei den Studenten gefunden hat, zeigt uns, daß das zugrundeliegende Konzept richtig ist und für die nun vorliegende 2. Auflage keine ein schneidenden Veränderungen notwendig sind. Als ein Mangel war aller dings empfunden worden, daß der Bereich der Ionenstrahlanalytik in der 1. Auflage ausgespart worden war. Wir haben dieser Kritik jetzt durch Hinzufügung eines Kapitels über dieses Thema Rechnung getragen. Außerdem wurden in einigen Kapiteln die Anwendungsbeispiele aktuali siert und natürlich Druckfehler korrigiert.Table of Contents1 Einleitung.- 2 Elektromagnetische Eigenschaften und Zerfall von Atomkernen.- 2.1 Das magnetische Kerndipolmoment.- 2.2 Das elektrische Kernquadrupolmoment.- 2.3 Der ?-Zerfall des Kern.- 2.4 Nachweis von ?-Strahlung.- 3 Hyperfeinwechselwirkung.- 3.1 Magnetische Wechselwirkung.- 3.2 Elektrische Wechselwirkung.- 4 Mößbauer-Effekt.- 4.1 Methode.- 4.2 Der Debye-Waller-Faktor.- 4.3 Mößbauer-Quellen und Meßapparatur.- 4.3.1 Mößbauer-Quellen.- 4.3.2 Mößbauer-Apparatur.- 4.4 Isomerieverschiebung.- 4.4.1 Isomerieverschiebung und chemische Wertigkeit.- 4.4.2 Valenzfluktuationen.- 4.5 Elektrische Quadrupolwechselwirkung.- 4.6 Magnetische Dipolwechselwirkung.- 4.6.1 Magnetisches Hyperfeinfeld im Inneren von Eisen.- 4.6.2 Magnetisches Hyperfeinfeld an der (110)-Oberfläche von Eisen.- 4.7 Quadratischer Doppler-Effekt.- 5 Gestörte ?-?-Winkelkorrelation (PAC).- 5.1 Theorie der ungestörten ?-?-Winkelkorrelation.- 5.1.1 Naive Theorie.- 5.1.2 Allgemeine Theorie.- 5.2 Theorie der gestörten ?-?-Winkelkorrelation.- 5.3 Berechnung des Störfaktors für Spezialfälle.- 5.3.1 Magnetische Dipolwechselwirkung.- 5.3.2 Elektrische Quadrupolwechselwirkung.- 5.4 PAC-Quellen und Meßapparatur.- 5.4.1 PAC-Quellen.- 5.4.2 Meßapparatur.- 5.4.3 Elektronische Geräte für die Zeitmessung.- 5.5 Elektrische Feldgradienten in nicht-kubischen Metallen.- 5.6 Atomare Defekte in Metallen.- 5.7 Adsorbatplätze auf Oberflächen.- 5.8 Innere Magnetfelder in ferromagnetischen Substanzen.- 5.9 Integrale gestörte Winkelkorrelation (IPAC) und transiente Magnetfelder in Ferromagneten.- 6 Magnetische Kernresonanz (NMR).- 6.1 Methode 121 6.2 Klassische Behandlung der NMR (Bloch-Gleichungen).- 6.3 Experimentelle Anordnungen.- 6.3.1 Stationäre Methode.- 6.3.2 Lock-in-Verstärker.- 6.3.3 Gepulste Kernresonanz.- 6.3.4 Spin-Echo-Methode.- 6.4 Chemische Verschiebung.- 6.5 Knight-Shift in Metallen.- 6.6 Spin-Gitter-Relaxation.- 6.6.1 Spin-Gitter-Relaxation durch Bewegung.- 6,6.2 Spin-Gitter-Relaxation in Metallen: Korringa-Relation.- 6.7 NMR mit radioaktiven Kernen und Selbstdiffusion in Metallen.- 7 Kernorientierung (NO).- 7.1 Methode.- 7.2 Experimentelle Anordnung.- 7.2.1 3He/4He-Mischkryostat.- 7.2.2 Radioaktive Quellen für die Kernorientierung.- 7.2.3 Magnetische Kernresonanz an orientierten Kernen (NMR/NO).- 7.3 Hyperfeinfelder.- 7.4 Spin-Gitter-Relaxation bei tiefen Temperaturen.- 8 Myon-Spin-Rotation (?SR).- 8.1 Methode.- 8.2 Experimentelle Anordnung.- 8.2.1 Myonenstrahl.- 8.2.2 Meßapparatur.- 8.3 Innere B-Felder in magnetischen Substanzen.- 8.4 Diffusion des positiven Myons.- 8.4.1 Linienverengung durch Bewegung.- 8.4.2 Einfang an Gitterdefekten.- 8.4.3 Diffusionsmodelle.- 8.5 Myonium in Halbleitern.- 8.5.1 Normales Myonium.- 8.5.2 Zeeman-Bereich (schwaches Magnetfeld).- 8.5.3 Paschen-Back-Bereich (starkes Magnetfeld).- 8.5.4 Allgemeine Lösung.- 8.5.5 Präzession des µ+-Spins im Myonium.- 9 Positronenvernichtung.- 9.1 Methode.- 9.2 Positronenquellen und Meßanordnungen.- 9.2.1 Positronenquellen.- 9.2.2 Meßanordnungen.- 9.3 Annihilationswinkelkorrelation und Fermi-Impuls von Leitungselektronen in Metallen.- 9.4 Lebensdauer des Positrons und Gitterdefekte in Metallen.- 10 Neutronenstreuung.- 10.1 Eigenschaften des Neutrons und Produktion von Neutronenstrahlen.- 10.2 Nachweis von Neutronen.- 10.3 Theorie der Neutronenstreuung.- 10.3.1 Streuung an einem Atomkern.- 10.3.2 Neutronenstreuung an kondensierter Materie.- 10.4 Elastische Neutronenstreuung.- 10.5 Quasielastische Neutronenstreuung.- 10.6 Inelastische Neutronenstreuung.- 11 Ionenstrahlanalytik.- 11.1 Rutherford-Rückstreuung (RBS).- 11.1.1 Kinematischer Faktor.- 11.1.2 Wirkungsquerschnitt für Rutherford-Streuung.- 11.1.3 Energieverlust in Materie.- 11.1.4 Beschleunigung und Nachweis von geladenen Teilchen.- 11.1.5 Experimente an dünnen Filmen.- 11.1.6 Nachweis der elastisch gestreuten Rückstoßatome (ERDA).- 11.2 Gitterführung.- 11.2.1 Gitterplatzbestimmung von Fremdatomen in Kristallen.- 11.2.2 Epitaktisches Wachstum.- 11.3 Analyse mittels Kernreaktionen (NRA).- 11.3.1 Messung von Wasserstoff-Tiefenprofilen mit der 15N-Metode.- 11.3.2 Interdiffusion von Poymeren detektiert mit der 2H(3He,4He)1H Kernreaktion.- 11.3.3 Zusammenstellung einiger Kernreaktionen für die NRA-Methode.- A.2 Sphärische Tensoren.- A.3 Wigner-Eckart-Theorem.- A.4 Weiterführende Literatur zu den einzelnen Kapiteln.- A.5 Literaturverzeichnis.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Group Theory: Application to the Physics of
Book SynopsisThis concise, class-tested book was refined over the authors’ 30 years as instructors at MIT and the University Federal of Minas Gerais (UFMG) in Brazil. The approach centers on the conviction that teaching group theory along with applications helps students to learn, understand and use it for their own needs. Thus, the theoretical background is confined to introductory chapters. Subsequent chapters develop new theory alongside applications so that students can retain new concepts, build on concepts already learned, and see interrelations between topics. Essential problem sets between chapters aid retention of new material and consolidate material learned in previous chapters.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews:"It was developed for a graduate course taught mostly by Millie Dresselhaus at MIT for more than 30 years, with many revisions of lecture notes. Very much a graduate text or specialist monograph, the book covers a wealth of applications across solid-state physics. … The book can be warmly recommended to students and researchers in solid-state physics, either to serve as a text for an advanced lecture course or for individual study … ." (Volker Heine, Physics Today, November, 2008)"This textbook is based on the authors’ pedagogical experience during their 30 years at MIT. … the book develops all of the relevant mathematics (linear algebra) and the necessary physics (quantum mechanics), it is eminently suitable to a wide audience in physics, chemistry and materials science." (Barry R. Masters, Optics and Photonics News, July/August, 2009)“This is an excellent text … . originates from lectures by Charles Kittel and J. H. van Vleck in the 1950s and much of the material was presented in courses by the authors over the last three decades. The material is meant for Electrical Engineering and Physics students at the graduate level … . has exercises at the end of each chapter and an extensive set of appendices. The exposition is clear and detailed. This is a very good book for its target audience.” (W. Miller Jr., Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1175, 2010)“The goal of the book under review is to teach group theory in close connection to applications. … Every chapter of the book finishes with several selected problems. Specific to this book is the feature that every abstract theoretical group concept is introduced and applied in a concrete physical way. This is why the book is very useful for anyone interested in applications of group theory to the wide range of condensed matter phenomena.” (Oktay K. Pashaev, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2010 i)“It is highly welcomed because of its well-thought structuring and the plenty of non-trivial examples. The authors develop those parts of the theory of groups which are interesting for physicists, from chapter to chapter offering nearly at any step one or more informative application.” (G.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Quantum Electrodynamics
Book SynopsisWe are pleased by the positive resonance of our book which now necessitates a fourth edition. We have used this opportunity to implement corrections of misprints and amendments at several places, and to extend and improve the discussion of many of the exercises and examples. We hope that our presentation of the method of equivalent photons (Example 3. 17), the form factor of the electron (Example 5. 7), the infrared catastrophe (Example 5. 8) and the energy shift of atomic levels (Example 5. 9)arenow even better to understand. The new Exercise 5. 10 shows in detail how to arrive at the non-relativistic limit for the calculation of form factors. Moreover, we have brought up-to-date the Biographical Notes about physicists who have contributed to the dev- opment of quantum electrodynamics, and references to experimental tests of the t- ory. For example, there has been recent progress in the determination of the electric and magnetic form factors of the proton (discussed in Exercise 3. 5 on the Rosenbluth formula) and the Lamb shift of high-Z atoms (discussed in Example 5. 9 on the energy shift of atomic levels), while the experimental veri cation of the birefringence of the QED vacuum in a strong magnetic eld (Example 7. 8) remains unsettled and is a topic of active ongoing research.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews of the third edition: "Quantum electrodynamics (QED) nowadays is considered to be physics’ most precise theory beneath the theory of general relativity. … Greiner’s and Reinhardt’s book provides both teachers and students with all that is necessary to understand QED from its origin. And to the best of my knowledge, it is one of the few books that really do so. … as a reference book, it forms a good companion to any other book on the shelf to show exactly how things are done." (T. Beier, Contemporary Physics, Vol. 45 (3), 2004) "This completely revised and corrected new edition provides several new examples and exercises to enable deeper insight to formalism and application of Quantum electrodynamics. It is a thorough introductory text providing all necessary mathematical tools together with many examples and worked problems." (Revista Espanola de Fisica, Vol. 17 (6), 2003) "The particular volume on quantum electrodynamics was first published in 1992, with a second edition in 1994 and now a third one at the end of 2002. … I have used the former edition(s) of this particular volume in a course on QED and it is a very good source to find all the details. … The books of Greiner … have owned their specific place in the literature on theoretical physics and this volume fits fully in that scheme."

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Dynamics of Gas-Surface Interactions: Atomic-level Understanding of Scattering Processes at Surfaces
Book SynopsisThis book gives a representative survey of the state of the art of research on gas-surface interactions. It provides an overview of the current understanding of gas surface dynamics and, in particular, of the reactive and non-reactive processes of atoms and small molecules at surfaces. Leading scientists in the field, both from the theoretical and the experimental sides, write in this book about their most recent advances. Surface science grew as an interdisciplinary research area over the last decades, mostly because of new experimental technologies (ultra-high vacuum, for instance), as well as because of a novel paradigm, the ‘surface science’ approach. The book describes the second transformation which is now taking place pushed by the availability of powerful quantum-mechanical theoretical methods implemented numerically. In the book, experiment and theory progress hand in hand with an unprecedented degree of accuracy and control. The book presents how modern surface science targets the atomic-level understanding of physical and chemical processes at surfaces, with particular emphasis on dynamical aspects. This book is a reference in the field.Trade ReviewFrom the book reviews:“The volume collects the work carried out by many among the best groups and authors in the field, including the excellent contributions from the editors’ home-institutions, the CONICET-UNR at Rosario, Argentina and, last but not least, the Centro de Física de Materiales of CSIC, and the Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC) of the Basque Country University at San Sebastian.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Springer Handbook of Experimental Fluid Mechanics
Book SynopsisThis key text is a major reference work – a totally authoritative handbook on a major current topic. It consolidates state-of-the-art information from the large number of disciplines used in Experimental Fluid Mechanics into a readable desk reference book. It comprises four parts: Experiments in Fluid Mechanics, Measurement of Primary Quantities, Specific Experimental Approaches, and Analyses and Post-Processing of Data. The book has been prepared for physicists and engineers in research and development in universities, in industry and in other research institutions. Both experimental methodology and techniques are covered fundamentally and for a wide range of application fields. A generous use of citations directs the reader to additional material on each subject.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews: "Handbooks are reference works for daily use by two main groups of people: on the one hand by experienced scientists, and by engineers or physicists … . And, on the other hand, by students … . due to the breadth and depth, this book serves both groups excellently. … In summary, the community of fluid mechanics today has in their hands a highly valuable and important new book, which is a major reference in our science and will soon become a standard reference." (Günter Brenn, International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol. 51, 2008) "The stated purpose of this 1500 page handbook is to provide comprehensive information to the experimental fluid mechanics community for planning, executing, and interpreting experiments. … A DVD-ROM PDF version of the handbook accompanies the hardback book. … The book is excellent for a user who wants to obtain some information on a given topic without reading and digesting many papers. … production quality is excellent too. … The high-quality drawings, photos, and figures are clearly labeled and captioned." (Roger L. Simpson, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Journal, Vol. 46 (10), 2008)Table of ContentsIntroductionThe expression: "analytical work", often connotes an effort in which basic expressions are combined to analyze a given problem and to derive new information and insight from the resulting mathematical steps of the analysis. Specifically, having started with the appropriate relationships and bringing appropriate mathematical manipulations to the task, the analyst is able to create new information to address the motivating question(s).A central organizing theme of this handbook is that ‘experimental fluid mechanics" can be understood as a parallel activity to that described above. The motivating questions will set the context for the experiment. The experiment will be established as a boundary value problem in which the experimentalist will address all aspects of the boundary conditions that will influence the "solution." If a transient or an evolving solution is sought, the appropriate initial conditions will similarly be addressed.Having established these conditions, the solution to the boundary value problem will be revealed in the experimental data that will – ideally – not be contaminated by unintended or unknown perturbing effects and that will be fully converged if statistical average values are sought. Part A Experiments in Fluid Mechanics The objective of Part A is to establish the fundamental concepts and equations that undergird experimental fluid mechanics. The first chapter: addresses both the governing equations and the constitutive equations for Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids. Chapter 2 provides the systematic bases for model testing and the scaling of experimental results. Sections 2.1 through 2.7 derive similitude parameters (Reynolds number, Froude number, etc.) from the governing equations and the boundary conditions. Dimensional analysis (Sect. 2.2) provides a rational approach for the organization and interpretation of experimental data; Sect. 2.3, self-similarity, documents known flow fields that exhibit this condition and it provides guidance on what other flows may exhibit this behavior. The encyclopedic presentation of examples will allow the reader to comprehend the universal features of both complete and incomplete self-similarity. Chap. 1 The Experiment as a Boundary-Value ProblemChap. 2 Nondimensional Representation of the Boundary-Value ProblemPart B Measurement of Primary QuantitiesThe objective of Part B is to provide specific information to the reader on the following primary quantities: material properties (Chap. 3), flow field properties (Chap. 4 – pressure, Chap. 5 – velocity, vorticity, Mach number, Chap. 6 – spatial density variations and Chap. 7 – temperature and heat flux) and forces and moments (Chap. 8). Chapter 3 is focused on providing quantitative information for the material properties, the sources of this information and the associated confidence levels for the given data. Chapters 4 through 8 provide comprehensive guidance to the reader on: i) the objectives, ii) the available equipment, iii) the utilization techniques, and iv) the post-processing of the primitive information for the stated quantities. Chap. 3 Material Properties: Measurement and DataChap. 4 Pressure Measurement SystemsChap. 5 Velocity, Vorticity and Mach NumberChap. 6 Spatial Density VariationsChap. 7 Temperature, Concentration and Heat FluxChap. 8 Forces and Moments Part C Specific Experimental ApproachesBuilding on the previous two parts of this Springer Handbook, which have dealt with the fundamental concepts and equations that undergrid experimental fluid mechanics and the measurement of primary quantities, respectively, Part C addresses experimental fluid mechanics from an application point of view. According to application, often unique and specific forms of equipment, experimental procedure, or analysis and interpretation of results have been developed. It is the purpose of Part C to elucidate a selection of such application areas, in particular measurements of non-Newtonian flows, turbulence, flow visualization, wall-bounded flows, surface topology, turbomachines, hydraulics, aerodynamics, atmospheric and oceanographic measurements, combustion diagnostics and electrohydrodynamic systems.Chap. 9 Non-Newtonian FlowsChap. 10 Measurement of Turbulent FlowsChap. 11 Flow VisualizationChap. 12 Wall-Bounded FlowsChap. 13 Surface TopologyChap. 14 TurbomachinesChap. 15 HydraulicsChap. 16 AerodynamicsChap. 17 Atmospheric MeasurementsChap. 18 Oceanographic MeasurementsChap. 19 The No-Slip Boundary ConditionChap. 20 Combustion DiagnosticsChap. 21 Electrohydrodynamic SystemsPart D Analyses and Post-Processing of Data This final part of the Springer Handbook is actually meant to be a reference source about single and data processing techniques commonly encountered in fluid mechanics. These topics have been complemented by a section discussing data acquisition by imaging detectors, a topic becoming increasingly important for optical measurement techniques. These are all subjects, which in their development are not naturally associated with fluid mechanics; hence Part D attempts to collect information from many diverse sources and present them conveniently to the fluid mechanic researcher. Topics covered in this part include fundamental topics of signal and data processing transforms (Fourier, Hilbert, wavelet), proper orthogonal decomposition and stochastic estimation. This is followed by a discussion of estimator expectation and variance and the influence of noise on these quantities. The Cramèr-Rao Lower Bound (CRLB) is introduced and developed for several common signal processing examples from fluid mechanics. Imaging detectors and measures of their performance are then discussed in detail before closing with a chapter on image processing and motion analysis, two topics especially relevant for the Particle Image Velocity (PIV) measurement technique.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Solid State Theory, Volume 1: Basics: Phonons and
Book SynopsisThe textbooks “Solid State Theory" give an introduction to the methods, contents and results of modern solid state physics in two volumes. This first volume has the basic courses in theoretical physics as prerequisites, i.e. knowledge of classical mechanics, electrodynamics and, in particular, quantum mechanics and statistical physics is assumed. The formalism of second quantization (occupation number representation), which is needed for the treatment of many-body effects, is introduced and used in the book. The content of the first volume deals with the classical areas of solid state physics (phonons and electrons in the periodic potential, Bloch theorem, Hartree-Fock approximation, density functional theory, electron-phonon interaction). The first volume is already suitable for Bachelor students who want to go beyond the basic courses in theoretical physics and get already familiar with an application area of theoretical physics, e.g. for an elective subject "Theoretical (Solid State) Physics" or as a basis for a Bachelor thesis. Every solid-state physicist working experimentally should also be familiar with the theoretical methods covered in the first volume. The content of the first volume can therefore also be the basis for a module "Solid State Physics" in the Master program in Physics or, together with the content of the 2nd volume, for a module "Theoretical Solid State Physics" or "Advanced Theoretical Physics". The following second volume covers application areas such as superconductivity and magnetism to areas that are current research topics (e.g. quantum Hall effect, high-temperature superconductivity, low-dimensional structures).Table of Contents

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Solid State Theory, Volume 2: Applications:
Book SynopsisThe present volume 2 covers advanced topics in theoretical solid state physics and thus ties in directly with the fundamentals. Solids in external fields or more generally in non-equilibrium and deviations from the ideal 3-dimensional crystal structure (surfaces, impurities, low-dimensional structures, quantum dots, etc.) are treated. The consideration of collective phenomena such as superconductivity and magnetism complete the presentation. The reader is assumed to have the contents of Volume 1 (electrons and phonons in ideal crystals, Bloch theorem, population number representation or 2nd quantization, electron-electron and electron-phonon interaction) as well as the basic knowledge of general theoretical physics (mechanics, electrodynamics, quantum mechanics, and statistical physics) usually available after a bachelor's degree in physics. Volume 2 is thus ideally suited for students in the master's program in physics who wish to specialize in (experimental or theoretical) solid-state physics. Addressing current topics (e.g., Kondo effect, fractional quantum Hall effect, 2-dimensional crystals such as graphene, giant magnetoresistance effect, and others) provides an optimal transition to modern research.The new edition has been completely revised, expanded with numerous exercises and existing redesigned, with the associated solutions now included in the book.Table of ContentsElectronic transport in solids.- Optical (or dielectric) properties of solids.- Deviations from the ideal, three-dimensional crystal structure.- Solids in the external magnetic field.- Superconductivity.- Collective magnetism.- Solutions to the exercise problems.

Springer Verlag Note di fisica statistica
Book SynopsisIl testo si configura come un' introduzione alla fisica statistica rivolto in primo luogo a quei corsi di studio in ingegneria che più hanno a che fare con le proprietà fisiche dei materiali, ed ha lo scopo di fornire le basi microscopiche del comportamento termodinamico di cui si fa uso sia in molti corsi tradizionali, quali quelli di termofluidica d'interesse per l'ingegneria chimica e nucleare, che in corsi rivolti ad applicazioni avanzate nella scienza dei materiali e nelle nanotecnologie. Particolare attenzione viene quindi dedicata all'impiego di metodi di fisica statistica nella scienza dei materiali, approfondendo tematiche relative alle vibrazioni nei solidi, ai processi di nucleazione liquido/vapore, alla struttura dello stato fluido e vetroso, ai plasmi, ai materiali magnetici, al gas di Fermi e alla superfluidità. Per il suo carattere generale, e per l'accento posto sui fondamenti della meccanica quantistica, il volume si presta comunque a costituire anche un testo introduttivo alla meccanica statistica per studenti dei corsi di laurea in fisica.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews:“The book covers the main typical arguments of a course on statistical physics and thermodynamics in the Italian university system. … the author intends to transmit to the readers: the subject of statistical physics is not only useful, but is also far to be boring and can reveal an intrinsic beauty. Also, the style of writing the different chapters reveals the intention of the author to give a pleasant environment for the study of the subject.” (Francesco Salvarani, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1241, 2012)

Birkhauser Verlag AG Screening effects in bipolaron theory and high
Book SynopsisThe subject of the present thesis is a study on bipolaron formation in heavily doped and polar materials. The study is applied to the physics of superconducting compounds with high transition temperature. In particular this thesis addresses the problem of the formation and superconducting properties of real space electron (hole) pairs in these systems and their dependence on the carrier density. The pairing mechanism results from the dynamical cooperation of photonic and electronic degrees of freedom which characterize the heavily doped polar material. We call these pairs biplasmapolarons (BBP) because they can be thought as quasi-particles composed by two electrons (holes) and their cloud of virtual photons and plasmons. In the present work we extend the theory to the calculation of both BPP binding energy and effective mass and we discuss the features of the effective electron-electron interaction.

Book SynopsisSolid state field-effect devices such as organic and inorganic-channel thin-film transistors (TFTs) have been expected to promote advances in display and sensor electronics. The operational stabilities of such TFTs are thus important, strongly depending on the nature and density of charge traps present at the channel/dielectric interface or in the thin-film channel itself. This book contains how to characterize these traps, starting from the device physics of field-effect transistor (FET). Unlike conventional analysis techniques which are away from well-resolving spectral results, newly-introduced photo-excited charge-collection spectroscopy (PECCS) utilizes the photo-induced threshold voltage response from any type of working transistor devices with organic-, inorganic-, and even nano-channels, directly probing on the traps. So, our technique PECCS has been discussed through more than ten refereed-journal papers in the fields of device electronics, applied physics, applied chemistry, nano-devices and materials science, finally finding a need to be summarized with several chapters in a short book. Device physics and instrumentations of PECCS are well addressed respectively, in the first and second chapters, for the next chapters addressing real applications to organic, oxide, and nanostructured FETs. This book would provide benefits since its contents are not only educational and basic principle-supportive but also applicable and in-house operational.Table of ContentsChapter 1.

Springer Inside NAND Flash Memories
Book SynopsisDigital photography, MP3, digital video, etc. make extensive use of NAND-based Flash cards as storage media. To realize how much NAND Flash memories pervade every aspect of our life, just imagine how our recent habits would change if the NAND memories suddenly disappeared. To take a picture it would be necessary to find a film (as well as a traditional camera…), disks or even magnetic tapes would be used to record a video or to listen a song, and a cellular phone would return to be a simple mean of communication rather than a multimedia console. The development of NAND Flash memories will not be set down on the mere evolution of personal entertainment systems since a new killer application can trigger a further success: the replacement of Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) with Solid State Drives (SSDs). SSD is made up by a microcontroller and several NANDs. As NAND is the technology driver for IC circuits, Flash designers and technologists have to deal with a lot of challenges. Therefore, SSD (system) developers must understand Flash technology in order to exploit its benefits and countermeasure its weaknesses. Inside NAND Flash Memories is a comprehensive guide of the NAND world: from circuits design (analog and digital) to Flash reliability (including radiation effects), from testing issues to high-performance (DDR) interface, from error correction codes to NAND applications like Flash cards and SSDs.Table of ContentsPreface.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Laser Heat-Mode Lithography: Principle and
Book SynopsisThis book provides a systematic description and analysis of laser heat-mode lithography, addressing the basic principles, lithography system, manipulation of feature size, grayscale lithography, resist thin films, and pattern transfer, while also presenting typical experimental results and applications. It introduces laser heat-mode lithography, where the resist thin films are essentially an opto-thermal response to the laser beam with changeable wavelength and are not sensitive to laser wavelength. Laser heat-mode lithography techniques greatly simplify production procedures because they require neither a particular light source nor a particular environment; further, there are no pre-baking and post-baking steps required for organic photoresists. The pattern feature size can be either larger or smaller than the laser spot by adjusting the writing strategy. The lithographic feature size can also be arbitrarily tuned from nanoscale to micrometer without changing the laser spot size. Lastly, the line edge roughness can be controlled at a very low value because the etching process is a process of breaking bonds among atoms. The book offers an invaluable reference guide for all advanced undergraduates, graduate students, researchers and engineers working in the fields of nanofabrication, lithography techniques and systems, phase change materials, etc.Table of ContentsCurrent status of lithography.- Principles of laser heat-mode lithography and thermal diffusion.- Laser heat-mode maskless lithography system.- Manipulation of thermal diffusion channels.- Laser heat-mode nanolithography on phase-change thin films.- Direct laser heat-mode nanopatterning on metallo-organic compound thin films.- Laser heat-mode patterning of transparent thin films.- Laser heat-mode grayscale image lithography.- Patterns transfer processes and applications.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Entropy, Divergence, and Majorization in
Book SynopsisRich information-theoretic structure in out-of-equilibrium thermodynamics exists in both the classical and quantum regimes, leading to the fruitful interplay among statistical physics, quantum information theory, and mathematical theories such as matrix analysis and asymptotic probability theory. The main purpose of this book is to clarify how information theory works behind thermodynamics and to shed modern light on it.The book focuses on both purely information-theoretic concepts and their physical implications. From the mathematical point of view, rigorous proofs of fundamental properties of entropies, divergences, and majorization are presented in a self-contained manner. From the physics perspective, modern formulations of thermodynamics are discussed, with a focus on stochastic thermodynamics and resource theory of thermodynamics. In particular, resource theory is a recently developed field as a branch of quantum information theory to quantify “useful resources” and has an intrinsic connection to various fundamental ideas of mathematics and information theory. This book serves as a concise introduction to important ingredients of the information-theoretic formulation of thermodynamics. Trade Review“The book has three appendices on quantum divergences and their monotonicity, hypothesis testing and asymptotic equipartition properties. A large number of references are cited at the end of the book. The book presents wealth of theoretical information on quantum information theory. … The book may be used as a reference for the researchers in quantum information theory.” (K. N.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle and the
Book SynopsisThis book highlights the importance of Electron Statistics (ES), which occupies a singular position in the arena of solid state sciences, in heavily doped (HD) nanostructures by applying Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle directly without using the complicated Density-of-States function approach as given in the literature. The materials considered are HD quantum confined nonlinear optical, III-V, II-VI, IV-VI, GaP, Ge, PtSb2, stressed materials, GaSb, Te, II-V, Bi2Te3, lead germanium telluride, zinc and cadmium diphosphides, and quantum confined III-V, IV-VI, II-VI and HgTe/CdTe super-lattices with graded interfaces and effective mass super-lattices. The presence of intense light waves in optoelectronics and strong electric field in nano-devices change the band structure of materials in fundamental ways, which have also been incorporated in the study of ES in HD quantized structures of optoelectronic compounds that control the studies of the HD quantum effect devices under strong fields. The influence of magnetic quantization, magneto size quantization, quantum wells, wires and dots, crossed electric and quantizing fields, intense electric field, and light waves on the ES in HD quantized structures and superlattices are discussed. The content of this book finds six different applications in the arena of nano-science and nanotechnology and the various ES dependent electronic quantities, namely the effective mass, the screening length, the Einstein relation and the elastic constants have been investigated. This book is useful for researchers, engineers and professionals in the fields of Applied Sciences, solid state and materials science, nano-science and technology, condensed matter physics, and allied fields, including courses in semiconductor nanostructures.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Non-Bloch Band Theory of Non-Hermitian Systems
Book SynopsisThis book constructs a non-Bloch band theory and studies physics described by non-Hermitian Hamiltonian in terms of the theory proposed here.In non-Hermitian crystals, the author introduces the non-Bloch band theory which produces an energy spectrum in the limit of a large system size. The energy spectrum is then calculated from a generalized Brillouin zone for a complex Bloch wave number. While a generalized Brillouin zone becomes a unit circle on a complex plane in Hermitian systems, it becomes a circle with cusps in non-Hermitian systems. Such unique features of the generalized Brillouin zone realize remarkable phenomena peculiar in non-Hermitian systems. Further the author reveals rich aspects of non-Hermitian physics in terms of the non-Bloch band theory. First, a topological invariant defined by a generalized Brillouin zone implies the appearance of topological edge states. Second, a topological semimetal phase with exceptional points appears, The topological semimetal phase is unique to non-Hermitian systems because it is caused by the deformation of the generalized Brillouin zone by changes of system parameters. Third, the author reveals a certain relationship between the non-Bloch waves and non-Hermitian topology.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Hermitian Systems and Non-Hermitian Systems.- Non-Hermitian Open Chain and Periodic Chain.- Non-Bloch Band Theory of Non-Hermitian Systems and Bulk-Edge Correspondence.- Topological Semimetal Phase With Exceptional Points in One-Dimensional Non-Hermitian Systems.- Non-Bloch Band Theory in Bosonic Bogoliubov-de Gennes Systems.- Summary and Outlook.
