The birth of quantum electronics in the middle of the 20th century and the subsequent discovery of the laser led to new trends in physics and a number of photonic technolgies. Advances in Laser Physics is dedicated to Peter Franken, a pioneer of nonlinear optics, and includes papers by the founders ..

Air Ions: Physical and Biological Aspects fully develops two areas that are important for a comprehensive understanding of the subject of air ions: (1) the physical/chemical nature of ions, and (2) their potential interaction with biological systems. T..

This book presents some of the methods used in the theory of amorphous magnetism, from a single standpoint that amorphous magnets have a topologically disordered structure of the type given by the dense random packing of hard spheres...

Treats certain problems and methods of theoretical physics and astrophysics which are associated with microscopic and macroscopic electrodynamics and material concerning the theory of transition radiation and transition scattering...

The laser's range of application is extraordinary. The laser's specifically biomedical uses cover a similarly broad and interesting spectrum.This book provides a useful introduction...

Creativity As an Exact Science..

This provides a major review of the two-level system Kondo model, as applied to metallic glasses, nanoscale devices and some doped semiconductors; and the quadripolar and magnetic two-channel Kondo models developed for rare-earth and actinide ions with crystal splitting metals. These contrast with t..

The revolution in twentieth-century physics has offered answers to many of the big questions of existence, such as the ultimate nature of things and how the universe came into being. It has undermined our belief in a Newtonian mechanistic universe and a deterministic future, posing questions about p..

The revolution in 20th century physics has changed the way we think about space, time and matter and our own place in the universe. This title tells the story of these discoveries and the people who made them, largely through the work of Nobel Prize winning physicists...

A comprehensive overview of the principles, objectives, and methods of radiochemistry and how they are applied in various fields of chemistry, this book covers topics including: characteristics of radioactivity and radioactive matter, the chemistry of ephemeral radionuclides, and actinides of high a..
