Taylor & Francis Ltd The Method of Moments in Electromagnetics
Book SynopsisThe Method of Moments in Electromagnetics, Third Edition details the numerical solution of electromagnetic integral equations via the Method of Moments (MoM). Previous editions focused on the solution of radiation and scattering problems involving conducting, dielectric, and composite objects. This new edition adds a significant amount of material on new, state-of-the art compressive techniques. Included are new chapters on the Adaptive Cross Approximation (ACA) and Multi-Level Adaptive Cross Approximation (MLACA), advanced algorithms that permit a direct solution of the MoM linear system via LU decomposition in compressed form. Significant attention is paid to parallel software implementation of these methods on traditional central processing units (CPUs) as well as new, high performance graphics processing units (GPUs). Existing material on the Fast Multipole Method (FMM) and Multi-Level Fast Multipole Algorithm (MLFMA) is also updated, blending in elements of theTrade Review"The Method of Moments in Electromagnetics offers a complete guide to the implementation and numerical solution of surface integral equations in electromagnetics. The formulations and procedures are presented in an orderly easy-to-follow approach, along with references to software resources available online. General metallic and piecewise-homogeneous material antenna and scattering problems are covered. Efficient solution algorithms are presented, such as the fast multi-pole method (FMM) and the adaptive cross-approximation (ACA). The 3rd Edition adds the multi-level ACA and hybridization of ACA with FMM. A large number of solved example problems are included, along with tips for efficient programming and parallelization. The book provides a comprehensive reference for the implementation of state-of-the-art algorithms in the Method of Moments."– Emeritus Research Professor Robert J. Burkholder, Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering, ElectroScience Laboratory, The Ohio State University"Gibson has, no doubt, generated a classic with the third edition of his book, comprising extensive and approachable compendium of his in-depth knowledge in the Moment Method and development of numerical software codes. This book is well-written, easy to follow, and will likely serve as a practical text of great utility to students and practicing engineers alike. Simply put, this new third edition sets the standard in the subject matter for many years to come."– Bassem Mahafza, President and Founder of Phased n Research and author of Introduction to Radar Analysis and Handbook of Radar Signal Analysis"Mr. Gibson has put forward the definitive text for solving Electromagnetic problems with the Method of Moments (MoM). It is an outstanding blend of both theoretical and practical applications and expertly covers all subject matter necessary for the understanding and implementation of MoM based computational electromagnetic software codes.

Oxford University Press (UK) Theory of Itinerant Electron Magnetism International Series of Monographs on Physics 106
Book SynopsisThis book is an application of quantum and statistical mechanics to the field of magnetism. The microscopic theory of many electron systems is presented in detail. Emphasis is given on how to solve the equations numerically with the use of computer programmes and how to apply them to problems arising in mechanical engineering or material sciences.Trade ReviewTheory of Itinerant Electron Magnetism by Jurgen Kubler is a unique contribution to the study of magnetism, in that it attempts to describe a substantial part of the field using the local density functional approximation (LDA). The author concentrates on itinerant electron systems and emphasizes the importance of the electronic structure to the understanding of magnetic properties of realistic materials. Furthermore, Kubler cautions the reader that LDA does not correspond to the independent-particle picture; he advocates the extensive use of computers to solve the many-electron problem within LDA. However, he makes it very clear that LDA programs running on even the most efficient computers are not the answer to all magnetism questions, particularly those dealing with strongly correlated electron systems, for which no controlled general theory truly exists[...] This book will be useful to many researchers, theorists, and experimentalists alike. * Physics Today *Table of Contents1 INTRODUCTION; 2 DERIVATION OF THE SINGLE-PARTICLE SCHRODINGER EQUATION: DENSITY AND SPIN-DENSITY-FUNCTIONAL THEORY; 3 ENERGY BAND THEORY; 4 ELECTRONIC STRUCTURE AND ITINERANT ELECTRON MAGNETISM; 5 MAGNETISM OF ITINERANT ELECTRON SYSTEMS AT FINITE TEMPERATURES; APPENDIX: THE ASW PROGRAMME; BIBLIOGRAPHY

Nova Science Publishers Inc Progress in Ferromagnetism Research
Book SynopsisFerromagnetism is a form of magnetism that can be acquired in an external magnetic field and usually retained in its absence, so that ferromagnetic materials are used to make permanent magnets. A ferromagnetic material may therefore be said to have a high magnetic permeability and susceptibility (which depends upon temperature). Examples are iron, cobalt, nickel, and their alloys. Ultimately, ferromagnetism is caused by spinning electrons in the atoms of the material, which act as tiny weak magnets. They align parallel to each other within small regions of the material to form domains, or areas of stronger magnetism. In an unmagnetised material, the domains are aligned at random so there is no overall magnetic effect. If a magnetic field is applied to that material, the domains align to point in the same direction, producing a strong overall magnetic effect. Permanent magnetism arises if the domains remain aligned after the external field is removed. Ferromagnetic materials exhibit hysteresis. In 2004, it was discovered that a certain allotrope of carbon, nanofoam , exhibited ferromagnetism. The effect dissipates after a few hours at room temperature, but lasts longer at cold temperatures. The material is also a semiconductor. It is thought that other similarly formed materials, of boron and nitrogen, may also be ferromagnetic. This new book rings together leading research from throughout the world.

Nova Science Publishers Inc New Research on Superconductivity & Magnetism
Book SynopsisSuperconductivity is the ability of certain materials to conduct electrical current with no resistance and extremely low losses. High temperature superconductors, such as La2-xSrxCuOx (Tc=40K) and YBa2Cu3O7-x (Tc=90K), were discovered in 1987 and have been actively studied since. In spite of an intense, world-wide, research effort during this time, a complete understanding of the copper oxide (cuprate) materials is still lacking. Many fundamental questions are unanswered, particularly the mechanism by which high-Tc superconductivity occurs. More broadly, the cuprates are in a class of solids with strong electron-electron interactions. An understanding of such "strongly correlated" solids is perhaps the major unsolved problem of condensed matter physics with over ten thousand researchers working on this topic. High-Tc superconductors also have significant potential for applications in technologies ranging from electric power generation and transmission to digital electronics. This ability to carry large amounts of current can be applied to electric power devices such as motors and generators, and to electricity transmission in power lines. For example, superconductors can carry as much as 100 times the amount of electricity of ordinary copper or aluminium wires of the same size. Many universities, research institutes and companies are working to develop high-Tc superconductivity applications and considerable progress has been made. This volume brings together new leading-edge research in the field.
