Dynamics Of Heavy Electrons

by Yoshio Kitaoka e Yoshio Kuramoto

193,44€ + 10% CARD

 Heavy electrons are found among a number of lanthanide and actinide compounds, and are characterized by a large effective mass which becomes comparable to the mass of a muon. Heavy electrons exhibit rich phenomena such as unconventional superconductivity, weak anti- ferromagnetism, or pseudo meta-magnetism. This book is intended not only as a monograph, but can readily serve as an advanced textbook on theoretical and experimental physics of strongly correlated electrons. Over the last two decades, heavy electrons have been the focus of very active experimental and theoretical studies. Many established ideas and techniques have been insufficient to describe and understand heavy electrons and their impact properly. On the theoretical side, quantum fluctuations make mean-field theories difficult to handle, while on the experimental side, extreme conditions such as strong magnetic fields and pressure at ultra-low temperatures may be required. Heavy electron systems as described in this book offer a case study for applying and testing most of the major tools in theoretical and experimental condensed matter physics. Graduate students and researchers working on strongly correlated condensed matter systems will find in this book a comprehensive introduction and many examples how conventional concepts of solids may work or not work, and how they can be refined and sharpened in the context of heavy electron systems.

Electromagnetic Scattering From Random Media

by Timothy R. Field

124,54€ + 10% CARD

 The book develops the dynamical theory of scattering from random media from first principles. Its key findings are to characterize the time evolution of the scattered field in terms of stochastic differential equations, and to illustrate this framework in simulation and experimental data analysis. The physical models contain all correlation information and higher order statistics, which enables radar and laser scattering experiments to be interpreted. An emphasis is placed on the statistical character of the instantaneous fluctuations, as opposed to ensemble average properties. This leads to various means for detection, which have important consequences in radar signal processing and statistical optics. The book is also significant also because it illustrates how ideas in mathematical finance can be applied to physics problems in which non-Gaussian noise processes play an essential role. This pioneering book represents a significant advance in this field, and should prove valuable to leading edge researchers and practitioners at the postgraduate level and above.

Quantum Gravity - Fourth Edition

by Claus Kiefer

~~112,61€~~ 101,35€ 10% OFF

 The description of Nature in physics currently falls into two parts: the microscopic and the macroscopic. The microscopic world (molecules, atoms, particles) is described by quantum theory, whereas the macroscopic world (planets, stars, galaxies, universe) is ruled by a classical interaction - gravity - that is described by Einstein's theory of general relativity. This book describes in detail the attempts to unify quantum theory and relativity, which are essential to understanding the origin of the Universe and the final fate of black holes. The construction of a consistent quantum theory is among the most important open problems in fundamental physics. This book describes the motivation for constructing such a theory and presents the main approaches. These approaches include covariant quantization, canonical quantization (metric and loop approaches), and string theory. The book also covers the main applications, which include black holes and cosmology. This new edition includes updated content throughout, as well as further explorations of the holographic principle, unimodular gravity, quantum-gravitational correction terms, and possible observations, as these are topics that have experienced important developments since the last edition.

Electromagnetics Of Superconductor/Paramagnet Heterostructures

by Hermann Rauh e Yuri Genenko

~~98,04€~~ 88,24€ 10% OFF

 Conditioning of magnetic fields is a novel route to improve type-II superconductor performance in high-current and high-field applications directed at increasing the current-carrying capability and the critical fields of superconductor/paramagnet heterostructures, as well as reducing their hysteretic AC loss.Through a methodical analysis and noteworthy solutions, Electromagnetics of Superconductor/Paramagnet Heterostructures presents a phenomenological account of the remarkable electromagnetic properties of superconductor paramagnet heterostructures, as captured by Maxwell''s electrodynamics, generalized London theory, and Bean''s model of the critical state. Beginning with the introduction of the basic concepts of superconductivity which are necessary for understanding of the following studies, exact closed-form solutions are revealed for a range of idealized heterostructures.Investigations of the superconductor constituents primarily focus on strips or tapes, filaments and tubes, with a transport current imposed or a magnetic field applied. Geometrical as well as materials aspects of both the magnetic shielding effect and the hysteretic AC loss undergo detailed analysis which permits identification of the conditions for non-dissipative critical, or even overcritical, states to exist. Crucial issues such as the barrier against the penetration of magnetic flux at superconductor/paramagnet interfaces or the nucleation of magnetic vortex loops equally find their place. Finally, based on the magnetostatic-electrostatic analogues, the finite-element simulations of the Meissner state and the critical state of thin superconductors in paramagnetic environments of arbitrary shape and permeability are performed. This presents an effective tool for designing superconductor/paramagnet heterostructures.
