Condensed Systems of Low Dimensionality (NATO Science Series B, #253)
The NATO Special Programme Panel on Condensed Systems of Low Dimensionality began its work in 1985 at a time of considerable activity in the field. The Panel has since funded many Advanced Research Workshops, Advanced Study Institutes, Cooperative Research Grants and Research Visits across the breadth of its remit, which stretches from self-organizing organic molecules to semiconductor structures having two, one and zero dimensions. The funded activities, especially the workshops, have allowed r...
In the first two Parts of Volume 3/38 Optical Constants critically evaluated data on refractive indices of inorganic and organic liquids and their wavelength dependence (dispension) are provided. Part A contains the inorganic, organometallic, and organononmetallic liquids, and the binary liquid mixtures (about 900 pure substances and their mixtures). Part B contains data of more than 7600 organic liquids. Since not all data for the organic compounds and mixtures could be included in the printed...
Mathematics of Microstructure Evolution
Materials science is a growth area for mathematics in the United States. This volume unites mathematicians, computer scientists, physicists and material scientists in a comprehensive presentation of empirical material on microstructure evolution. The book's tutorial presentation of modern mathematical methods should make it a useful reference for materials scientists. This volume explores such topics as the effects of stress on electromagnetic fields, computer simulations of the kinetics of phas...
The author applies methods of nonlinear elasticity to investigate the defects in the crystal structure of solids such as dislocations and disclinations that characterize the plastic and strength properties of many materials. Contrary to the geometrically motivated nonlinear theory of dislocations continuously distributed over the body, nonlinear analysis of isolated dislocations and disclinations is less developed; it is given for the first time in this book, and in a form accessible to both stu...

Quantum Statistics of Charged Particle Systems
by W. D. Kraeft and Dietrich Kremp
The year 1985 represents a special anniversary for people dealing with Ooulomb systems. 200 years ago, in 1785, Oharles Auguste de Ooulomb (1736-1806) found "Ooulomb's law" for the interaction force between charged particles. The authors want to dedicate this book to the honour of the great pioneer of electrophysics. Recent statistical mechanics is mainly restricted to systems of neutral particles. Except for a few monographs and survey articles (see, e. g., IOHIMARU, 1973, 1982; KUDRIN, 1974; K...
Molecule-Based Materials
by Lars Hrstrm, Krister Larsson, and Lars Ohrstrom
The properties of a material depend not only on the specific atoms and molecules it contains, but also on the arrangement of these in space. Many of these three-dimensional arrangements are described as "3D-nets" or "3D-networks". Molecule-Based Materials: The Structural Network Approach is about the synthesis, description, nomenclature and analysis of such nets and the relation of the nets to the physical properties of the materials. It introduces the mathematics, and includes a short guide t...
Scale Invariance, Interfaces, and Non-Equilibrium Dynamics (NATO Science Series B, #344)
The NATO Advanced Study Institute on "Scale Invariance, Interfaces and Non Equilibrium Dynamics" was held at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Cambridge, UK from 20-30 June 1994. The topics discussed at the Institute were all concerned with the origin and nature of complex structures found far from equilibrium. Examples ranged from reaction diffusion systems and hydrodynamics through to surface growth due to deposition. A common theme was that of scale invariance due to t...
Introduction to the Theory of X-Ray and Electronic Spectra of Free Atoms (Physics of Atoms and Molecules)
by Romas Karazija
Covering both theory and applications, this important work provides a comprehensive introduction to the modern theory of X-ray and electronic spectra of free atoms. Romas Karazija discusses methods of angular momenta, irreducible tensorial operators, and coefficients of fractional parentage and their use in determining cross sections and probabilities of elementary processes. In addition, Karazija addresses the structure of electronic shells with inner vacancies and many-body effect...
This book contains papers presented at the International Conference on Organic Superconductivity which was held May 20-24, 1990, at the Stanford Sierra Conference Center, South Lake Tahoe, California. In the twenty years since the First Conference on Organic Superconductivity was held (Hawaii, 1969), there has been remarkable progress in the field. At present, development is accelerating with contributions from many groups in many countries worldwide. The discovery of high Tc superconductivity b...

This proceedings volume contains research data from structural investigation of materials of high industrial value.
From Quasicrystals to More Complex Systems (Centre de Physique des Houches, #13)
This book is a collection of part of the written versions of the Physics Courses given at the Winter School "Order, Chance and Risk: Aperiodic Phenomena from Solid State to Finance" held at the Les Houches Center for Physics, between February 23 and March 6, 1998. The School gathered lecturers and participants from all over the world. On a thematic level, the content of the school can be viewed both as a continuation (aperiodic phenomena in solid state physics) and an extension (mathematical asp...
Liquid Crystals-Papers Presented At Spie's 44th Annual Meeting Iii
by Khoo
This book offers a compact overview on crystallography, symmetry, and applications of symmetry concepts. The author explains the theory behind scattering and diffraction of electromagnetic radiation. X-ray diffraction on single crystals as well as quantitative evaluation of powder patterns are discussed.

Solid State Supramolecular Interactions
by Kari Rissanen, Philip Topic, and Fangfang Pan
Intermolecular interactions are at the foundation of supramolecular chemistry and although this is a mature field, information about the different interactions is scattered in the literature. Solid State Supramolecular Interactions presents the reader with a wider view of the supramolecular interactions in the solid state showing that the crystal structures and supramolecular assemblies are results of several combined interactions rather than isolated individual interactions. Written by a leadin...
