Integrated Optics - Theory And Technology

by Robert G. Hunsperger

95,40€ + 10% CARD

 Once again it has become necessary to produce a new edition in order to update material provided in earlier editions and to add new descriptions of recently emerging technology. All of the chapters have been revised to inc1ude new developments, and to incorporate additionalliterature references. In the past few years there has been a vast expansion of worldwide telecom munications and data transmission networks. In many localities fiber-to-the-home and integrated services digital networks (ISDN) have become a reality .. Many people are now logging-on to the Internet and the World Wide Web. The growth of these networks has created a strong demand for inexpensive, yet efficient and reliable, integrated optic components such as signal splitters, couplers and multiplexers. Be cause of this demand, there has been a great deal of work recently on devices made using polymers and glas ses. Descriptions of these components have been added to the book in the appropriate chapters. A number of new practice problems have been added, and an updated booklet of problem solutions is available. The supplementary series of videotaped lectures de scribed in the preface to earlier editions continues to be available. Inquires regarding these materials should be sent directly to the author. The author wishes to thank Mrs. Barbara Westog, who helped with the organi zation of new material and typed the revisions.

Path Integrals In Field Theory - An Introduction

by Ulrich Mosel

79,49€ + 10% CARD

 This is an introductory book to path integral methods in ?eld theories. It is aimed at graduate students and physicists who need a working knowledge of ?eld theory and its methods for applications in hadron, particle and nuclear physics. While teaching ?eld theory courses over the years I have found that many books on ?eld theory present the path integral methods used in only a very recipe-like way. On the other hand, specialized books on path integrals often contain many more details than are actually needed by non-specialists. I hope that this book here ?lls the gap. It provides enough information to actually follow all the arguments necessary for ?eld theoretical developments without, however, elaborating on the method as such and its mathema- cal intricacies. This book is - in a way - a technical companion to Fields, Symmetries, and Quarks by the present author. The reader of this book should have some knowledge of the relativistic equations of motion of ’classical’ quantum theory, but no prior knowledge of ?eld theory is assumed. The material in this book can be covered in a o- semester course with 3 hrs/week. It has evolved in many years of teaching this subject. I am grateful to my students for many helpful questions and comments and, in particular, to Frank Froemel for his help in preparing the ?gures in this book.

Principles Of Surface Physics

by Friedhelm Bechstedt

59,61€ + 10% CARD

 In recent decades, surface and interface physics has become an increasingly important subdiscipline within the physics of condensed matter as well as an interdisciplinary ?eld between physics, crystallography, chemistry, biology, and materials science. There are several driving forces for the development of the ?eld, among them semiconductor technology, new materials, epitaxy and chemical catalysis. The electrical and optical properties of nanostructures based on di?erent semiconductors are governed by the interfaces or, at least, by the presence of interfaces. A microscopic understanding of the growth processes requires the investigation of the surface processes at an atomic level. Elementary processes on surfaces, such as adsorption and desorption, play a key role in the understanding of heterogeneous catalysis. During the course of the surface investigations, it has been possible to observe a dramatic progress in the ability to study surfaces of materials in general, and on a microscopic scale in particular. There are two main reasons for this progress. From the experimental point of view it is largely due to the development and availability of new types of powerful microscopes. Sp- tacular advances in techniques such as scanning tunneling microscopy now allow us to observe individual atoms on surfaces, and to follow their paths with a clarity unimaginable a few years ago. From the theoretical point of view (or rather the viewpoint of simulation) progress is related to the wide availability of computers and the dramatic increase of their power.

Physics Of Atoms And Quanta - Introduction To Experiments And Theory

by Hans Christoph Wolf e Hermann Haken

95,40€ + 10% CARD

 Since a new edition of our book has once again become necessary, we have as be fore taken the opportunity to include the latest developments in atomic and quantum physics. These areas continue to yield new and fascinating experimental and theoret ical results which are of fundamental importance and are also extremely interesting to students of science. As a result of newly developed experimental methods and theoretical techniques, it has also become possible to find solutions to some long-es tablished problems. In this spirit we have added an entire new chapter dealing with entangled wavefunctions, the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox, Bell''s inequalities, the paradox of Schrodinger''s cat and the concept of decoherence. In addition, we have treated new ideas relating to quantum computers and the numerous quantum physical schemes for constructing them. These new concepts exemplify the rapidly developing area of quantum information. Finally, in this new chapter we have included the experimental realisation of the Bose-Einstein condensation and of the atom laser, which promise important new ap plications. In Chap. 22, "Modern methods of optical spectroscopy", we have added a new section on nondestructive photon detection as an example of efficient methods for investigating the interactions between atoms and photons in resonant cavities. Con sidering the current importance of these areas, we emphasize references to the origi nal literature. These can be found in the Bibliography.

Molecular Physics And Elements Of Quantum Chemistry - Introduction To Experiments And Theory

by Hans Christoph Wolf e Hermann Haken

95,40€ + 10% CARD

 This textbook is intended for use by students of physics, physical chemistry, and theoretical chemistry. The reader is presumed to have a basic knowledge of atomic and quantum physics at the level provided, for example, by the first few chapters in our book The Physics of Atoms and Quanta. The student of physics will find here material which should be included in the basic education of every physicist. This book should furthermore allow students to acquire an appreciation of the breadth and variety within the field of molecular physics and its future as a fascinating area of research. For the student of chemistry, the concepts introduced in this book will provide a theoretical framework for his or her field of study. With the help of these concepts, it is at least in principle possible to reduce the enormous body of empirical chemical knowledge to a few fundamental rules: those of quantum mechanics. In addition, modem physical methods whose fundamentals are introduced here are becoming increasingly important in chemistry and now represent indispensable tools for the chemist. As examples, we might mention the structural analysis of complex organic compounds, spectroscopic investigation of very rapid reaction processes or, as a practical application, the remote detection of pollutants in the air.

Space Physics - An Introduction To Plasmas And Particles In The Heliosphere And Magnetospheres

by May-Britt Kallenrode

95,40€ + 10% CARD

 Phenomena in space physics are complex and their understanding often requires the integration of different concepts of space physics. To help the beginner this book uses a new methodological approach. The first chapters introduce simple concepts of plasma physics and describe where these concepts can be applied in space physics. The subsequent chapters are devoted to more-complex observations. These are interpreted in terms of the concepts introduced earlier and new, more difficult, concepts are introduced where they are required. Thus observations and physical concepts can be interwoven to give basic explanations of phenomena and also show the limitations in these explanations and point out some rather fundamental questions.

Advanced Quantum Mechanics

by Franz Schwabl

95,40€ + 10% CARD

 Advanced Quantum Mechanics, the second volume on quantum mechanics by Franz Schwabl, discusses nonrelativistic multi-particle systems, relativistic wave equations and relativistic fields. As expected in Schwabl''s works, the text features a compelling mathematical presentation in which all intermediate steps are derived and where numerous examples for application and exercises help the student to gain a thorough working knowledge of the subject. The treatment of relativistic wave equations and their symmetries and the fundamentals of quantum field theory lay the foundations for advanced studies in solid-state physics, nuclear and elementary particle physics. This text extends and complements Schwabl''s introductory Quantum Mechanics, which covers nonrelativistic quantum mechanics and offers a short treatment of the quantization of the radiation field.

Continuum Mechanics And Theory Of Materials

by Peter Haupt

95,40€ + 10% CARD

 This exposition of the theory of materials has its origins in the lectures I gave at the universities of Darmstadt and Kassel from 1978 onwards. Research projects carried out during the same period have been the source of extensive refinements to the subject-matter. The reason for adding yet another book to the existing wealth of volumes dealing with continuum mechanics was my desire to describe the phenomenological theory of material properties from my own point of view. As a result, it is without doubt a subjectively inspired and incomplete work. This particularly applies to the selection of quotations from the literature. The text has been influenced and enhanced by the numerous discussions I had the privilege of holding with students and experts alike. I should like to thank them all sincerely for their contributions and encouragement. 1 My special thanks go to my academic teachers Rudolf Trostel and Hubertus 1. Weinitschke,2 whose stimulating lectures convinced me at the time that continuum mechanics is a field of science worth pursuing. I greatly appreciate the long and amicable collaboration with Babis Tsakmakis and Manfred Korzen, during which a number of indispensable fun damental aspects emerged. Valuable inspiration regarding the development of the thermomechanical theory of materials was given by Roman Bonn, Markus Horz, Marc Kamlah and Alexander Lion. It was Lion''s skill that provided the link between the theoretical modelling and experimental investigation of material behaviour.

Quantum Mechanics Solver - How To Apply Quantum Theory To Modern Physics

by Jean Dalibard e Jean-Louis Basdevant

95,40€ + 10% CARD

 Quantum mechanics is an endless source of new questions and fascinating observations. Examples can be found in fundamental physics and in applied physics, in mathematical questions as well as in the currently popular debates on the interpretation of quantum mechanics and its philosophical implica tions. Teaching quantum mechanics relies mostly on theoretical courses, which are illustrated by simple exercises often of a mathematical character. Reduc ing quantum physics to this type of problem is somewhat frustrating since very few, if any, experimental quantities are available to compare the results with. For a long time, however, from the 1950s to the 1970s, the only alterna tive to these basic exercises seemed to be restricted to questions originating from atomic and nuclear physics, which were transformed into exactly soluble problems and related to known higher transcendental functions. In the past ten or twenty years, things have changed radically. The devel opment of high technologies is a good example. The one-dimensional square well potential used to be a rather academic exercise for beginners. The emer gence of quantum dots and quantum wells in semiconductor technologies has changed things radically. Optronics and the associated developments in infra red semiconductor and laser technologies have considerably elevated the social rank of the square-well model. As a consequence, more and more emphasis is given to the physical aspects of the phenomena rather than to analytical or computational considerations.

Space Physics - An Introduction To Plasmas And Particles In The Heliosphere And Magnetospheres

by May-Britt Kallenrode

95,40€ + 10% CARD

 The first edition of this book sold within a relatively short time span of about two years. Nevertheless, this second edition is not just a corrected and updated reprint but has also seen a couple of changes. First of all, SI units are adopted throughout. Equations often used for estimates also are given in the older but still commonly used cgs system. Thus, the reader can choose what suits best. Second, there were a lot of larger and smaller flaws in the first printing which have been corrected. I greatly appreciate the hints and comments given by Andre Balogh, R. A. Cairns, Stanley H. Cowley, Roman Hatzky, Eberhard Moebius, Reinhold Muller-Mellin, Constantinos Paizes, Wilfried Schroder, C. L. Waters, and, last but not least, Gerd Wibberenz. All these people not only helped reduce the numbers of errors but also made valuable sugges tions on better or clearer explanations, topics to cover in more depth, and misleading wording and sentences. I have gratefully taken their suggestions and incorporated them into this edition. For the remaining errors, I take sole responsibility. If you find such a flaw, or have additional suggestions for improvements, please send a brief note to mkallenr@uni-osnabrueck. de. Aside from these minor, though important, modifications there are also some larger changes.

Photonics - Linear And Nonlinear Interactions Of Laser Light And Matter

by Ralf Menzel

95,40€ + 10% CARD

 Since the invention of the laser in 1960 there has been an enormous increase in the number of applications of this newly available light and its spectacular properties, and there is no end to this development in sight. In many fields of science, technology and medicine laser photons are the driving force of progress. In the near future we will probably experience a further rapid de velopment in this field as a result of the widespread industrial production of semiconductor diode lasers and new nonlinear optical materials. Light from the new lasers may become even cheaper than that from light bulbs. Thus, laser optic devices will influence all sectors of private and public life. The high power, high brightness, narrow bandwidth, good coherence, spe cial polarization and/or short pulses of laser light beams enable new applica tions. Many of these processes will be based on nonlinear optical interactions of the laser light with suitable optical material. In these interactions the ma terial is modified by the incident light. The light is then in turn modified by the modified matter. Finally, the nonlinear modification of light as a function of other light becomes possible. Light is modified by light. To use laser light in this sense in science, technology and medicine, know ledge from different fields of physics, chemistry and engineering is necessary.
