Condensed Matter Physics

Small-angle scattering (SAS) is a powerful technique for investigating the whole set of geometric parameters describing (micro)particles embedded in a material. Particularly, disordered particle assembles can be explored via SAS. This book explains several models and approaches of SAS for the study ..

III-V semiconductors have attracted considerable attention due to their applications in the fabrication of electronic and optoelectronic devices as light emitting diodes and solar cells. This book covers all known information about phase relations in quaternary systems based on III-V semiconductors...

The "information revolution" would have been radically different or impossible without the use of the materials know generically as semiconductors. The properties of these materials, particularly the potential for doping with impurities to create transistors and diodes and controlling the local pote..

With research continuing to expand and develop, the marketplace for sensors and instrumentation remains one of the most significant for the United Kingdom, the European Union, and the economies of major developed nations...

Covering colloids, polymers, surfactant phases, emulsions, and granular media, this book covers the advancing field of systems driven out of equilibrium. It contains introductions in soft condensed matter and statistical physics to experimental techniques, polymers, rheology, colloids, computer simu..

The second-generation spintronic devices discussed in this book will not only improve the existing capabilities of electronic transistors, but will enable future computers to run faster and consume less power. Merging the obstacles and recent technological advances in developing spin-controlled devi..

This book provides a concise introduction to the tensor properties of crystals at a level suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students. This second edition brings the material up to date with the latest developments in nonlinear optics and modulated structures. Because of the increasing..

Building on the success of T.J.T. Spanos's previous book The Thermophysics of Porous Media, this book explains non-linear field theory by describing the physical processes associated with the interaction of the various phases at the macroscale and how these interactions give rise to additional physi..

Understanding the Properties of Matter: 2nd Edition is an entertaining and innovative textbook that fulfills the needs of undergraduate physics students and teachers alike. Taking a unique phenomenological approach, this book introduces the properties of matter. After an overview of basic ideas and ..

A "wiggler" is an insertion device used for spatially concentrating radiation for research purposes, and an "undulator" is a multi-period wiggler. Undulator and wiggler devices are inserted in a free straight section of the storage ring of the synchrotron. This book explores the radiation produced b..
