This concise study of temperature and its extremes is designed to provide greater understanding of temperature as a concept of physics and thermodynamics. A clear, insightful volume for students and professionals, it will also appeal to anyone interested in science.
Exploring the Quantum: Atoms, Cavities, and Photons (Oxford Graduate Texts)
Serge Haroche
,
Jean-Michel Raimond
Oxford University Press, USA
, 2006
The counter-intuitive aspects of quantum physics have been for long illustrated by thought experiments, from Einstein's photon box to Schrodinger's cat. These experiments have now become real, with single particles--electrons, atoms or photons--directly unveiling the weird features of the quantum. State superpositions, entanglement and ...
Atomic Physics: An Exploration through Problems and Solutions
Dmitry Budker
,
Derek F. Kimball
, ...
Oxford University Press, USA
, 2004
Excellent book for atomic physicists and all physics graduate students
This book has most useful practical problem sets about atomic physics. All the problems are related to real experiments. One can learn both theories and experimental methods from them. Most importantly, this book provides lots of useful "numbers" that a physicists ...
Passive Microwave Device Applications of High-Temperature Superconductors
M. J. Lancaster
Cambridge University Press
, 2006
This book describes the application of new high temperature superconducting materials to microwave devices and systems. It deals with the fundamentals of the interaction between microwaves and superconductors, and includes a basic description of how microwave devices can be constructed using these materials. Since the discovery of high ...
Physics of Shock Waves and High-Temperature Hydrodynamic Phenomena
Ya. B. Zel'dovich
,
Yu. P. Raizer
Dover Publications
, 2002
The Bible for the Study of the hydrodynamics of high temperature, compressible fluids
This majisterial work by the famous Russian physicist/astrophysicist Yakov B. Zeldovich is the first and last book to refer to when studying the hydrodynamics of compressible fluids at high temperatures. The author's primary goal is to describe (as well as possible in ...
Thermophiles: Biology and Technology at High Temperatures
CRC
, 2007
This text reviews recent literature in the thermophile field written by international experts. Much is being learned from thermophiles, especially about biology at the molecular level and the genetic mechanisms that permit adaptation and survival. This book discusses protective strategies based on the resiliency of thermophiles. It also ...
Bose-Einstein Condensation (The International Series of Monographs on Physics)
L. Pitaevskii
,
S. Stringari
Oxford University Press, USA
, 2003
Concise slick book. Good but not great.
This is not an easy book to read. It starts off with field theory and assumes a lot of knowledge, especially from Landau's books on fluid mechanics and statitstical physics. The format of the writing is concise, almost journal publication style. Chapter 14 on angular ...
Physics of Transition Metal Oxides (Springer Series in Solid-State Sciences)
S. Maekawa
,
T. Tohyama
, ...
Springer
, 2004
Transition metal oxides have a long and distinguished history. They are familiar today as magnets, prized as materials for electronics, and aroused new interest with the discovery of high-temperature superconductivity. The aim of this book is to describe the basic physics underlying the fascinating properties of these materials. At the same ...
The Theory of Superconductivity in the High-Tc Cuprate Superconductors
P. W. Anderson
Princeton University Press
, 1997
This book is P. W. Anderson's long-awaited full presentation of his theory of high-T c superconductivity in the cuprates. He realized that this striking new phenomenon needed for its explanation not just a new mechanism or "gimmick" but a radical reworking of the electronic theory of metals, especially those of low dimension. The many ...
Whistler-mode Waves in a Hot Plasma (Cambridge Atmospheric and Space Science Series)
Sergei Sazhin
Cambridge University Press
, 2005
The book provides an extensive theoretical treatment of whistler-mode propagation, instabilities and damping in a collisionless plasma. This book fills a gap between oversimplified analytical studies of these waves, based on the cold plasma approximation, and studies based on numerical methods. Although the book is primarily addressed to space ...
