Microwave Plasma Analytical Spectrometry
by Krzysztof Jankowski and Edward Reszke
This volume, which comprises a collection of papers by leading Soviet researchers, is devoted to topics in the luminescence of semiconductors. An experimental check is made on a series of predictions of the theory of ionization domains. A new low-voltage luminescence of zinc sulfide is described and investigated and is found to be due to a high-frequency electrical instability. A detailed study of the electrical properties of the instability and of the characteristics of the emission testifies t...
This book gives a detailed account of the holistic research carried out on the analytical data obtained historically on the products of the Nantgarw and Swansea porcelain manufactories which existed for a few years only during the second decade of the 19th Century. A background to the establishment of the two factories, which are linked through the persons of the enigmatic William Billingsley and his kiln manager, Samuel Walker, involves the sourcing of their raw materials and problems associate...

Chemical Shifts for Oxygen-17 (Condensed Matter, 35E)
by H. Duddeck, G. Toth, and A. Simon
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)is based on the fact that certain nuclei exhibit a magnetic moment, orient by a magnetic field, and absorb characteristic frequencies in the radiofrequency part of the spectrum. The spectral lines of the nuclei are highly influenced by the chemical environment i.e. the structure and interaction of the molecules. NMR is now the leading technique and a powerful tool for the investigation of the structure and interaction of molecules. The present Landolt-Boernstein v...
This book focuses on the metallic Nano- and Micro-materials (NMMs) fabricated by physical techniques such as atomic diffusion. A new technology for fabricating NMMs by atomic diffusion is presented. Two kinds of atomic diffusion are treated; one is a phenomenon caused by electron flow in high density and called electromigration and the other is stress migration which depends on a gradient of hydrostatic stress in a material. In three parts, the book describes the theory of atomic diffusion, the...
This book explores the relaxation dynamics of inner-valence-ionized diatomic molecules on the basis of extreme-ultraviolet pump-probe experiments performed at the free-electron laser (FEL) in Hamburg. Firstly, the electron rearrangement dynamics in dissociating multiply charged iodine molecules is studied in an experiment that made it possible to access charge transfer in a thus far unexplored quasimolecular regime relevant for plasma and chemistry applications of the FEL. Secondly the lifetime...

Chiral and Topological Nature of Magnetic Skyrmions (Springer Theses)
by Shilei Zhang
This book focuses on the characterisation of the chiral and topological nature of magnetic skyrmions in noncentrosymmetric helimagnets. In these materials, the skyrmion lattice phase appears as a long-range-ordered, close-packed grid of nearly millimetre-level correlation length, while the size of a single skyrmion is 3–100 nm. This is a very challenging range of length scales (spanning 5 orders of magnitude from tens of nm to mm) for magnetic characterisation techniques, and, to date, extensive...
Analytical Techniques in Biochemistry (Springer Protocols Handbooks)
by Mahin Basha
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the major biochemical analytical techniques, with detailed descriptions of the instrumentation and applications. The contributions, which each focus on a specific technique, are based on a thorough review and analysis of the current literature as well as the authors’ experiences in the lab. Divided into nine parts, the book provides insights into basic separation techniques like sedimentation, filtration and centrifugation, as well as analytical...
Photovoltaic and Photoelectrochemical Solar Energy Conversion (NATO Science Series B, #69)
In recent years there has been an increasing interest in syscems which enable the conversion of solar energy into electri- calor chemical energy. Many types of systems have been proposed and studied experimenta11y, the fundamentals of which extend from solid state physics to photo- and electrochemistry. For most of the systems considered excitation of an electron by absorption of a photon is fo1lowed by charge separation at an interface. It follows that the different fields involved (photovo1tai...
Semiclassical Methods in Molecular Scattering and Spectroscopy (NATO Science Series C, #53)
The ene10sed ~roeeedings of the NATO Advaneed Study Institute held in September 1979 are intended to provide a eomprehensive introduetion to the development of semie1assiea1 methods for mo1eeu1ar seattering and speetroseopy over the past twenty years. Progress in the seattering field may be taken to date from the famous paper by Ford and Wheeler in 1959, and eoineidenta1ly the RKR teehnique for diatomie speetroseopy was rediseovered at roughly t~e' same time. Subsequent developments have e~hasis...

Collinear Resonance Ionization Spectroscopy of Neutron-Rich Indium Isotopes (Springer Theses)
by Adam Robert Vernon
This thesis describes the application of the collinear resonance laser spectroscopy to sensitively measure the electromagnetic nuclear observables of the neutron-rich indium isotopes 115-131In. This entailed a systematic study of the efficiency of resonant ionization schemes to extract the hyperfine structure of the isotopes, the atomic charge exchange process and benchmarking of modern atomic calculations with a laser ablation ion source. This allowed determination of the root-mean-square nucle...
