Download or read book Electronic Structure and Physical Properties of Solids written by Hugues Dreysse and published by Springer. This book was released on 2008-01-11 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A very comprehensive book, enabling the reader to understand the basic formalisms used in electronic structure determination and particularly the "Muffin Tin Orbitals" methods. The latest developments are presented, providing a very detailed description of the "Full Potential" schemes. This book will provide a real state of the art, since almost all of the contributions on formalism have not been, and will not be, published elsewhere. This book will become a standard reference volume. Moreover, applications in very active fields of today's research on magnetism are presented. A wide spectrum of such questions is covered by this book. For instance, the paper on interlayer exchange coupling should become a "classic", since there has been fantastic experimental activity for 10 years and this can be considered to be the "final" theoretical answer to this question. This work has never been presented in such a complete form.

Download or read book A Framework for K 12 Science Education written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-02-28 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science, engineering, and technology permeate nearly every facet of modern life and hold the key to solving many of humanity's most pressing current and future challenges. The United States' position in the global economy is declining, in part because U.S. workers lack fundamental knowledge in these fields. To address the critical issues of U.S. competitiveness and to better prepare the workforce, A Framework for K-12 Science Education proposes a new approach to K-12 science education that will capture students' interest and provide them with the necessary foundational knowledge in the field. A Framework for K-12 Science Education outlines a broad set of expectations for students in science and engineering in grades K-12. These expectations will inform the development of new standards for K-12 science education and, subsequently, revisions to curriculum, instruction, assessment, and professional development for educators. This book identifies three dimensions that convey the core ideas and practices around which science and engineering education in these grades should be built. These three dimensions are: crosscutting concepts that unify the study of science through their common application across science and engineering; scientific and engineering practices; and disciplinary core ideas in the physical sciences, life sciences, and earth and space sciences and for engineering, technology, and the applications of science. The overarching goal is for all high school graduates to have sufficient knowledge of science and engineering to engage in public discussions on science-related issues, be careful consumers of scientific and technical information, and enter the careers of their choice. A Framework for K-12 Science Education is the first step in a process that can inform state-level decisions and achieve a research-grounded basis for improving science instruction and learning across the country. The book will guide standards developers, teachers, curriculum designers, assessment developers, state and district science administrators, and educators who teach science in informal environments.

It also introduces the reader to the behavior of polymers in electromagnetic and mechanical fields of force. The book covers the quantities that influence the transport of heat, momentum, and matter, particularly heat conductivity, viscosity, and diffusivity; properties that control the chemical stability and breakdown of polymers; and polymer properties as an integral concept, with emphasis on processing and product properties. Readers will find tables that give valuable (numerical) data on polymers and include a survey of the group contributions (increments) of almost every additive function considered. This book is a valuable resource for anyone working on practical problems in the field of polymers, including organic chemists, chemical engineers, polymer processers, polymer technologists, and both graduate and PhD students.
Download or read book Structure Properties and Dynamic Behavior of Earth s Inner Core written by Daniel Marcus Reaman and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Long-standing debate has persisted regarding the nature of the Earth's inner core, from its age and composition to its structure and dynamic high-pressure, high-temperature behavior. The equation of state of the alloy which comprises the inner core, the material transport properties of inner-core materials and the mechanism responsible for its structure are all required to gain further insight into the current and past state of the Earth's deep interior. Experimental work in the diamond-anvil cell (DAC) coupled with theoretical calculations are reported here to constrain these aspects of the Earth's inner core. Use of the DAC has allowed us to determine an equation of state of a planetary-core representative Fe64Ni36 alloy to 95 GP and ~ 3000 K. Increasing the Ni content in these experiments relative to the estimated abundance in the inner core (~5-10%) provides a critical investigation on the effects of increasing Ni content on the equation of state of FeNi alloys, thereby providing insight in to the behavior of these alloys at high pressures and temperatures with applications to other planetary cores. The use of micro-fabricated samples in the DAC is a novel new way of measuring material transport properties under high-pressure and temperature conditions. Using micro-fabricated samples in these experiments, with a controlled geometry of Fe and Ni, has allowed the measurement of interdiffusion coefficients in FeNi alloys and extended the previous pressure range of these experiments by a factor of three. The resulting data has been extrapolated to inner-core conditions to place constraints on material transport properties at those conditions while providing insight into some of the other physical properties of inner-core material, such as the solid-state viscosity. The seismically-anisotropic structure of the inner core remains a point of contention amongst geophysicists. Though many viable hypotheses have been put forth regarding the nature of this structure, debate still persists regarding the mechanism responsible. Theoretical calculations assuming high-temperature creep are presented which show that the structure of the inner core can be explained by a dislocation-based creep mechanism coupled with grain-boundary migration recrystallization and a grain growth model. These calculations provide a viable set of mechanisms which satisfactorily account for all of the structural features of the inner core. The results of this research provide an overall thermal and structural history of the inner core, in addition to placing constraints on its current state and mechanical behavior.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The origin of the Moon remains an unsolved problem of the planetary science. Researchers engaged in celestial dynamics, geophysics, and geochemistry are still discussing various models of creation of our closest cosmic neighbour. The most popular scenario, the impact hypothesis involving a collision early in the Earth's history, has been substantially challenged by the new data. The birth and development of a planet-moon system always plays a role in the formation of an entire planetary system around our Sun or around another star. This way, the story of our Moon acquires broader ramifications for one of the hottest topics of the modern scholarship. All this has motivated the authors of this book to consider a new concept and to compare the currently discussed theories, analyzing their advantages and shortcomings in explaining the experimental data.
