Molecular symmetry (MS) is an easily applied tool for understanding and predicting many of the properties of molecules. This work shows how to set up symmetry groups for molecules using more fundamental ideas. It provides an introductory description of MS and quantum mechanics to show how MS is to b..

Some of the topics covered by this detailed publication include: structure of metallic glass alloys; theory of magnetism in noncrystalline solids; electronic structure of metallic glasses; magnetism in transition metal base amorphous alloys; and application of metallic glasses in low-frequency magne..

The present monograph attempts to unify these diverse and exciting new developments within a common framework. First, the physical principles underlying heterogenous electron-transfer processes are outlined in a concise way and are compared to the homogeneous counterpart...

Updated and expanded, this second edition of Nuclear Spin Relaxation in Liquids explores the nature of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), shows how to study it, and explains why such studies are worthwhile. It is suitable as supplementary reading for graduate students, and will be a valuable referenc..

Topics covered in this text include: structural aspects of polymers; molecular mobility in amorphous solid polymers; non-elastic deformation of solid amorphous polymers; mechanical experiments; interpretation of results; physical ageing of amorpho.....

Space flight provides a unique laboratory that allows the investigation of phenomena and processes normally masked by the effects of gravity. Physics of Fluids in Microgravity examines recent research and progress in the different fields of fluid research in space. The topics presented include bubbl..

Based on an undergraduate level course, the main emphasis of this text is on the conduction related phenomena (electronic properties) and the plastic behaviour (ionic properties) of materials, such as metals and alloys, semiconductors, and ceramics..

This book covers a selection of recent research studies and new developments in physics and chemistry in micro and nanoscale materials. It brings together research contributions from eminent experts in the field from both academic and industry, providing the latest developments in advanced materials..

applications to the structure of atomic nuclei. The author systematically develops these models from the elementary level, through an introduction to tensor algebra, to the use of group theory in spectroscopy. The book's extensive and detailed appendix includes a large selection of useful formulae o..

In this second edition there are new sections on scales of temperature, availability, the degradation of energy and lattice defects...
