Presents a comprehensive, self-contained account of the theory and experiment of the quantum optic phenomenon of super-radiance from a group of authors who are highly regarded researchers in the field. DLC: Superradiance.

The discipline of rehabilitation engineering draws on a wide range of specialist knowledge, from the biomedical sciences to materials technology. Rehabilitation Engineering Applied to Mobility and Manipulation provides broad background and motivational

Symmetries in Quantum Mechanics: From Angular Momentum to Supersymmetry (PBK) provides a thorough, didactic exposition of the role of symmetry, particularly rotational symmetry, in quantum mechanics. The bulk of the book covers

Providing a comprehensive overview of developments to both the academic and industrial communities, Compound Semiconductors 1996 covers all types of compound semiconducting materials and devices. The book includes results on blue and

Tells the compelling story of the discovery of the electron and its elucidation as the first subatomic particle in nature. Provides an overview of the history of modern physics up to the

Do you know. that black holes can affect time? that Stonehenge is a giant calendar? that the Oracle Bones of the North China Plain predict the phases of the moon? that the

When Professor J.E. Roberts was first employed at the then Cancer Hospital (Free) in 1932, the words medical and physics were rarely joined together. Meandering in Medical Physics presents an account of

The Plasma Boundary of Magnetic Fusion Devices introduces the physics of the plasma boundary region, including plasma-surface interactions, with an emphasis on those occurring in magnetically confined fusion plasmas. The book covers

Proceedings of the Fifty-First Scottish Universities Summer School in Physics, in St. Andrews, held on August 17-28, 1998.

We humans cannot see when light is polarised and this leads to unfortunate misapprehensions about this aspect of nature. Even scientists who should know better often assume that it is an obscure

The most significant feature of this work is that it combines three distinct topics - technology, device design and simulation, and applications - in a comprehensive way. Readership This book is intended

The book gives an account of new ways to design massively parallel computing devices in advanced mathematical models (such as cellular automata and lattice swarms), and from unconventional materials, for example chemical

Pocket-size text addresses some of the most profound issues humans have confronted; such as what is the origin of galaxies?, how do solar systems form?, and how did Earth become an oasis
