Cosmology in Gauge Field Theory and String Theory focuses on the cosmological implications of the gauge theories of particle physics and of string theory. The book first examines the universe's series of

Reviewing theory but focusing on practice, this book introduces linearly-polarized IR spectroscopy as a method of molecular structural analysis, a technique that is useful in the study of pharmaceutical products and biological

The application of nuclear physics methods is now widespread throughout physics, chemistry, metallurgy, biology, clinical medicine, geology, and archaeology. Accelerators, reactors, and various instruments that have developed together with nuclear physics have

The use of single crystals for scientific and technological applications is now widespread in solid-state physics, optics, electronics, materials science, and geophysics. An understanding of the variation of physical properties with crystalline

The KDP family of single crystals is composed of compounds of alkali metals with light or heavy (hydro, deutero) water and oxides of phosphate or arsenate, including ammonium, potassium, rubidium and caesium

Since the first reports on metastable defects in III-V and II-VI compound semiconductors appeared in the late 1960s, the number of reports on defects with metastable states has been growing at an

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.

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

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

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
