A concise introduction to the chemistry and design principles behind important metal-organic frameworks and related porous materials
Reticular chemistry has been applied to synthesize new classes of porous materials that are successfully used for myraid applications in areas such as gas separation, catalysis, energy, and...
A concise textbook bridging quantum theory and spectroscopy!
Designed as a practical text, Quantum Mechanical Foundations of Molecular Spectroscopy covers the quantum mechanical fundamentals of molecular spectroscopy from the view of a professional spectroscopist, rather than a theoretician. Written by a...
Complex interacting networks are observed in systems from such diverse areas as physics, biology, economics, ecology, and computer science. For example, economic or social interactions often organize themselves in complex network structures. Similar phenomena are observed in traffic flow and in communication networks as the internet. In...
Comprehensive and easy to understand this introductory text on superconductivity was especially written for the nonspecialist. The author, an active researcher in the field for more than forty years, presents the fundamental considerations (without too much mathematics), describes the various phenomena connected with the superconducting state,...
An up-to-date selection of applications of correlation spectroscopy, in particular as far as the mapping of properties of correlated many-body systems is concerned. The book starts with a qualitative analysis of the outcome of the two-particle correlation spectroscopy of localized and delocalized electronic systems as they occur in atoms...
As far as I know, the systematic study on chalcogenide glasses as semiconductors was initiated
around the 1950s by a research group headed by B.T. Kolomiets of the Ioffe Physico-Technical
Institute. During the half-century that followed, amorphous semiconductors have acquired
their own citizenship as an unchallenged, independent area of...
The subject of this book falls within the scope of three disciplines – the antennas theory, highfrequency
electrodynamics and mathematical physics. There are problems in which these
disciplines are fundamentally connected. They are the inverse problems of the high-frequency
field theory, more precisely – the connection...
Many physicists are not aware of the fact that they can solve their problems by applying optimization algorithms. Since the number of such algorithms is steadily increasing, many new algorithms have not been presented comprehensively until now. This presentation of recently developed algorithms applied in physics, including demonstrations of how...
"This book certainly belongs in any library that serves a technically oriented clientele be it engineering, physics, chemistry or medicine." (E-STREAMS, February 2006)
"…an interesting and useful book. Its breadth of coverage and extensive list of references will certainly provide scientists in related field...
This volume is the only book to describe in detail all aspects of plastic optics from design issues to production technology and quality control aspects. Throughout, the focus is firmly set on practical applications, making this an indispensable source of information for all those working in optics research and development.
Making use of the inherent helix in the Fourier transform expression, this book illustrates both Fourier transforms and their properties in the round. The author draws on elementary complex algebra to manipulate the transforms, presenting the ideas in such a way as to avoid pages of complicated mathematics. Similarly, abbreviations...
