Download or read book QED Coherence in Matter written by Giuliano Preparata and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1995 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Up until now the dominant view of condensed matter physics has been that of an ?electrostatic MECCANO? (erector set, for Americans). This book is the first systematic attempt to consider the full quantum-electrodynamical interaction (QED), thus greatly enriching the possible dynamical mechanisms that operate in the construction of the wonderful variety of condensed matter systems, including life itself.A new paradigm is emerging, replacing the ?electrostatic MECCANO? with an ?electrodynamic NETWORK,? which builds condensed matter through the long range (as opposed to the ?short range? nature of the usual electrostatic forces) electrodynamical interaction; this interaction creates ?coherent configurations? of the elementary systems (atoms and molecules), which oscillate in phase with a coherent macroscopic (and classical) electromagnetic field that, through the strong interaction with matter, remains trapped inside it.

Download or read book Electromagnetic Response of Material Media written by Yu.A. Il'inskii and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The textbook we offer to the reader is based on a two-term course of lec tures, "Electromagnetic Response of Material Media," that the authors gave for a number of years to the final-year students of the Physics Depart ment of Moscow University. This course built on courses in quantum electronics, nonlinear optics and theoretical fundamentals of quantum radiophysics; students are as sumed to have mastered the fundamentals of quantum mechanics, laser physics and nonlinear optics. The essential core of the course, and hence of the book, is the current general theory of electromagnetic response of a nonrelativistic medium. The main aspects are presented in Chapters 1 and 2. The second part is devoted to more traditional topics which students learn in this course of lectures and also in the course "Condensed Matter Physics" for students who choose to major in radiophysics and laser physics; this course is also taught by the authors at the Physics Department. This volume was intended as a text for students and, as such, does not cite original publications. We decided to provide a list of additional recommended literature, mostly of well known, easily accessible textbooks.

Download or read book Electromagnetic Fields written by Alan M. Portis and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 1978 with total page 808 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Here is a textbook that develops the classical theory of electromagnetic fields from a contemporary point of view-with applications to the physics of condensed matter and plasmas. It more thoroughly relates electricity and magnetism to media, integrating solid state physics, plasma physics, and optics into the electromagnetic fields course. Portis's balance of theory and application, along with his effective use of relativity, has produced a text that is constructive as well as complete. He emphasizes the experimental investigations of Coulomb and Faraday together with the special theory of relativity, including applications at each stage of development to topics in the physics of condensed matter and plasmas. Each section is followed by exercises that are designed to reinforce the topics discussed. Chapter problems emphasize the connection with the present material to previous chapters. Besides his balance of theory and application, reviewers have also praised Portis for the logical organization, consistency in notation and presentation, and the inclusion of condensed matter to topics. Ideal for those with a background in mathematics and general physics, Electromagnetic Fields can be used in courses that also recognize solid state physics, optics, plasma physics, and modern physics."- Publisher

Both the physical phenomena and some potential applications are dealt with. Included are discussions of nonlinear wave mixing on films and surfaces, second harmonic generation in waveguides and at surfaces, nonlinear waves guided by dielectric and semiconductor surfaces and films, surface gratings formed by high energy laser beams, and reflection and transmission switching of strong beams onto nonlinear surfaces. Chapters on light scattering from surface excitations and magnetic order-disorder and orientational phase transitions complete this essential contribution to the modern optics literature.
Download or read book Multivalued Fields in Condensed Matter Electromagnetism and Gravitation written by Hagen Kleinert and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2008 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book lays the foundations of the theory of fluctuating multivalued fields with numerous applications. Most prominent among these are phenomena dominated by the statistical mechanics of line-like objects, such as the phase transitions in superfluids and superconductors as well as the melting process of crystals, and the electromagnetic potential as a multivalued field that can produce a condensate of magnetic monopoles. In addition, multivalued mappings play a crucial role in deriving the physical laws of matter coupled to gauge fields and gravity with torsion from the laws of free matter. Through careful analysis of each of these applications, the book thus provides students and researchers with supplementary reading material for graduate courses on phase transitions, quantum field theory, gravitational physics, and differential geometry.
