Dielectric Properties of Porous Media (Springer Series in Materials Science, #59)
by S.O. Gladkov
This monograph systematically presents the fundamentals of theoretical and experimental research into the most important physical characteristics of porous structures. Non-standard behavior of certain physical parameters, such as the breakdown of the electric field of porous substances, is described. The method of calculation of the thermal conductivity coefficient of porous dielectrics, based on the non-equilibrium principle, is illustrated in detail. This approach is then applied to the invest...
This proceedings volume contains the invited talks presented at two atomic physics symposia held jointly in Buenos Aires, Argentina from 28-30 July 2005. All papers were peer-reviewed. They represent the latest research in dynamics of collision systems involving collisions between photons, electrons, and ions and a diverse range of target species: atoms, molecules, clusters, and surfaces. There is a particular emphasis on correlation and many-body effects in excitation and ionization.
Photoelectrochemical Solar Fuel Production
This book explores the conversion for solar energy into renewable liquid fuels through electrochemical reactions.

Growth and Properties of Ultrathin Epitaxial Layers (Chemical Physics of Solid Surfaces)
by D A King, Author Unknown, and Unknown Author
"Surface Characterization" provides an authoritative guide to the wide range of powerful techniques that are used to characterize the surfaces of materials. Practical in approach, it not only describes the major analytical techniques but emphasizes how they can be used to solve a multitude of chemical and physical problems. A special feature of the book is that the various techniques are grouped according to the material property under investigation. These parts are preceded by an overview compa...
Panning for Gold (Physical Processes and Materials) (Raintree Fusion: Physical Science)
by Paul Mason
Core concepts made simple – to inspire all your pupils. Teaching Science can be a real challenge – especially if pupils are really struggling with reading or are finding it difficult to get their heads around curriculum concepts. Fusion is a high-interest, non-fiction range that has been carefully designed to help overcome these problems. Lively text with a low reading level ensures that the concepts are clear and accessible to everyone.
Scorpionates II: Chelating Borate Ligands - Dedicated to Swiatoslaw Trofimenko
by Claudio Pettinari
Since their discovery by Swiatoslaw Trofimenko in 1967, poly(pyrazol-1-yl)borates have been considered as one of the most useful ligands in modern coordination chemistry. The term "scorpionate" has been used to describe the interchange between bidentate and tridentate coordination modes by these ligands that has been employed for the synthesis of complexes with virtually every metal in the periodic table, having applications in diverse fields ranging from homogeneous catalysis to bioinorganic ch...
1 The content ofthis article is based on a German book version ) which appeared at the end of the year 1986. The author tried to incorporate - as far as possible - new important results published in the last year. But the literature in the field of "convection and inhomogeneities in crystal growth from the melt" has increased so much in the meantime that the reader and the collegues should make allowance for any incompleteness, also in the case that their important contributions have not been ci...
Physicochemical Theory of Effective Stress in Soils (SpringerBriefs in Earth Sciences)
by V.I. Osipov
This book presents a new theory of effective stresses in soils, which takes into account the internal stresses caused by the molecular, electrostatic, and structural mechanical forces. These forces exist in thin hydrate films of adsorbed water molecules at the contacts of structural elements, producing the so-called disjoining effect. They can be evaluated by incorporating theoretical achievements of molecular physics and colloidal chemistry. The novel theory described in this book considers not...
