Book excerpt: This special issue of "Solid State Phenomena" documents some novel experimental and theoretical approaches applied to fascinating materials. Motivated by the increasing need to synthesize and understand the properties of technologically important materials, this issue represents an important step forward in improving our understanding of how modern materials can be optimised for technology and industry. The issue comprises 9 original review papers covering experimental approaches and theoretical modeling. The contributions will be very useful to researchers working in various areas of CMP and will contribute significantly to the understanding of rapidly developing materials with regard to their synthesis, characterization and properties. Condensed matter physics plays a key role in the creation of new polymeric and crystalline materials. Containing only invited peer reviewed papers, this collection of nine contributions focuses on novel approaches, including forays into nanocrystalline materials. The authors all come from departments of physics in India, as does the editor, Singhal (U. of Rajasthan, Jaipur). Useful graphs and diagrams appear on every other page, along with equations.
Download or read book Photovoltaic Thermal PV T Systems written by Ali H. A. Al-Waeli and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-10-25 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the most up-to-date information on hybrid solar cell and solar thermal collectors, which are commonly referred to as Photovoltaic/Thermal (PV/T) systems. PV/T systems convert solar radiation into thermal and electrical energy to produce electricity, utilize more of the solar spectrum, and save space by combining the two structures to cover lesser area than two systems separately. Research in this area is growing rapidly and is highlighted within this book. The most current methods and techniques available to aid in overall efficiency, reduce cost and improve modeling and system maintenance are all covered. In-depth chapters present the background and basic principles of the technology along with a detailed review of the most current literature. Moreover, the book details design criteria for PV/T systems including residential, commercial, and industrial applications. Provides an objective and decisive source for the supporters of green and renewable source of energy Discusses and evaluates state-of-the-art PV/T system designs Proposes and recommends potential designs for future research on this topic

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to give graduate students an overview of quantum gravity but it also covers related topics from astrophysics. Some well-written contributions can serve as an introduction into basic conceptual concepts like time in quantum gravity or the emergence of a classical world from quantum cosmology. This makes the volume attractive to philosophers of science, too. Other topics are black holes, gravitational waves and non-commutative extensions of physical theories.

Download or read book Orbital Approach to the Electronic Structure of Solids written by Enric Canadell and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2012-01-12 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an intuitive yet sound understanding of how structure and properties of solids may be related. The natural link is provided by the band theory approach to the electronic structure of solids. The chemically insightful concept of orbital interaction and the essential machinery of band theory are used throughout the book to build links between the crystal and electronic structure of periodic systems. In such a way, it is shown how important tools for understanding properties of solids like the density of states, the Fermi surface etc. can be qualitatively sketched and used to either understand the results of quantitative calculations or to rationalize experimental observations. Extensive use of the orbital interaction approach appears to be a very efficient way of building bridges between physically and chemically based notions to understand the structure and properties of solids.
Download or read book Quantum Dynamics and Information written by Robert Olkiewicz and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2011 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The central theme of this lecture collection is quantum dynamics, regarded mostly as the dynamics of entanglement and that of decoherence phenomena. Both these concepts appear to refer to the behavior of surprisingly fragile features of quantum systems supposed to model quantum memories and to implement quantum date processing routines. This collection may serve as an essential resource for those interested in both theoretical description and practical applications of fundamentals of quantum mechanics.
Download or read book Magnetism in Metals and Metallic Compounds written by Jan Lapuszanski and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 623 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Proceedings presented here contain the notes of lectures delivered during the Eleventh Winter School of Theoretical Physics, held at Karpacz, Poland, February 19 - March 4, 1974. The School was primarily devoted to new concepts in the theory of magnetism in metals, alloys, and metallic compounds, but, as can be seen from the table of contents of the book, other topics of the theory of magnetism were also discussed in the course of the lec tures. The organizers agreed to such a broadening of the scope in order to satisfy particular requests from the Polish participants for whose benefit the School was organized. These "local" interests are clearly reflected in the Proceedings and are responsible for a certain inhomogeneity of the topics selected for presentation. Nevertheless, we have a strong hope that these materials will be interesting to many physicists, not only in Poland, for the subjects discussed here are important not only on the local level, as the lectures contain quite fresh, unpublished results or excellent up to-date reviews. The first part of the volume contains lectures directly cor responding to the title of the School, i.e., selected topics of the theory of metallic magnetism, with slight bias toward rare earth and actinide metals and their compounds. In the second half we have collected the topics more loosely connected with the main stream, such as statistical and thermodynamic aspects of various models, spin-phonon interaction, and others.
