Reference Data on Multicharged Ions(Atoms + Plasmas, Vol 16)Pages:226Reference Data on Multicharged Ions summarizes spectroscopic and collisional atomic data for highly charged positive ions: oscillator strength, energy levels, transition probabilities, cross sections, and rate coefficients of different elementary processes taking place in hot plasmas. The book does not give complicated theory and formulas; it presents the data in abbreviated form using tables, figures and, if possible, scaling laws for different characteristics. The data is interpreted on physical grounds, and ample references are given to the original literature.

The present volume introduces and surveys the field at highest energy and momentum resolutions allowing for a new range of applications, in particular for studies of high temperature superconductors. This book will be a valuable tool for anyone wishing to get acquainted with the state of the art in the field.
RapidshareAn Introduction to Quantum Field Theory, Peskin and SchroederPages:864The authors give an excellent overview of the physical concepts and computational aspects of quantum field theory. They stress the situation behind the subject, and endeavor to remain as concrete as possible. Abstract mathematical constructions are left to more advanced texts in quantum field theory. The authors characterize their book as an updating of the two volume set of Bjorken and Drell.The main emphasis of the book is on quantum electrodynamics (QED), the most successful of quantum field theories. The representation and analysis of the physical processes of QED is done via Feynman diagrams, with electron-positron annihilation leading off the discussion. Recognizing that the exact expression for the amplitude of this process is not known, perturbation theory is used to give an approximate representation for it via an infinite series with each term involving successively higher powers of the strength of the coupling between the electrons and photons (i.e. the charge). Each term is represented as a Feynman diagram. This is followed by a discussion of the quantum field theory of the Klein-Gordon field. The authors give one of the best explanations in the literature of why one must deal with the quantization of fields and not particles, the most important one being causality. Canoncial quantization is employed and the Feynman propagator for the Klein-Gordon field is derived. The Dirac field is also quantized using the canonical formalism. The authors show that Klein-Gordon fields obey Bose-Einstein statistics and Dirac fields obey Fermi-Dirac statistics. The all-important Wick's theorem is proven and higher-order Feynman diagrams are discussed. Most importantly, the authors show how to connect these results to experiment via the calculation of cross sections and decay rates. This entails the computation of the S-matrix elements from Feynman diagrams. The authors are very detailed in their elucication of the discussion, and those who have done these calculations know that it is great fun to do so. In addition, these "bread-and-butter" calculations give quantum field theory its ultimate justification in the modern particle accelerator. The discussion on radiative corrections is especially well-written, particularly the section on infrared divergences.

Dynamics of Flexible Multibody Systems: Rigid Finite Element Method(Foundations of Engineering Mechanics)Pages:225A new approach is presented for modelling multi-body systems, which constitutes a substantial enhancement of the Rigid Finite Element method. The new approach is based on homogeneous transformations and joint coordinates, and it yields the advantage that equations of motion are automatically generated for systems consisting of alternate rigid and flexible links. Apart from its simple physical interpretation and easy computer implementation, the method is also valuable for educational purposes since it impressively illustrates the impact of mechanical features on the mathematical model. This novel modelling approach is then applied to systems such as offshore-cranes and telescopic rapiers.

RapidshareMIHDThe Metaphysics of ScienceAn Account of Modern Science in terms of Principles, Laws and Theories(Boston Studies in the Philosophy of Science)Pages:333The Metaphysics of Science provides a clear, well-founded conception of modern science, according to which its core consists of particular metaphysical principles. On this view, both the empirical and the theoretical aspects of science are the result of the attempt to apply these metaphysical principles to reality. There is a flexibility in the application of the principles, however, so that, in their scientific guise, they may come to be reformed over time through scientific revolutions. This approach to modern science provides a unified conception of the enterprise, explaining such of its various aspects as the principle of induction, the nature of scientific knowledge and scientific reduction, the fundamental difference between the natural and social sciences, and the role of essentialism with respect to natural kinds. Furthermore, it provides a resolution of the long-standing debate between empiricism and realism. In this regard, and in others, the view of science advanced in this work is not only novel, but constitutes an alternative that is superior to both the empiric-analytic and the sociology of knowledge approaches that are prevalent today.

RapidshareMIHDRelativistic Quantum Mechanics(Texts and Monographs in Physics)Pages:278In this book, quantum mechanics is developed from the outset on a relativistic basis, using the superposition principle, Lorentz invariance and gauge invariance. Nonrelativistic quantum mechanics as well as classical relativistic mechanics appear as special cases. They are the sources of familiar names such as "orbital angular momentum", "spin-orbit coupling" and "magnetic moment" for operators of the relativistic quantum formalism. The theory of binaries, in terms of differential equations, is treated for the first time in this book. These have the mathematical structure of the corresponding one-body equations (Klein-Gordon for two spinless particles, Dirac for two spinor particles) with a relativistically reduced mass. They allow the calculation of radiative corrections via the vector potential operator. This second edition of the successful textbook adds various new sections on relativistic quantum chemistry and on the relativistic treatment of the proton in hydrogen. Others chapters have been expanded, e.g. on hyperfinite interactions, or carefully revisited
RapidshareMIHDMethods For Physics Pc3672 Vs 0.9, 2007-02(Based on work by Graham Shaw)This document is based on a summary of the main mathematical results of the course initially prepared by Graham Shaw. I hope they have turned into a reasonably complete guide to the material presented in the course, hopefully in an accurate form! I would suggest you come back to this reasonably often, as this is still very much a work in progress. Please let me know if you find any typos or slips! It is not intended to be a complete set of notes, and thus do not be surprised if some derivations and examples of applying the results are not given. Of course, this does not imply you do not need to be able to derive or apply these results. Nor need you necessarily memorise very complicated equations, just because they are included here. Common sense must be applied! There are many different ways to remember mathematics and much of physics. One that I find quite useful is to understand a number of the key principles underlying this work, so that you can derive most results quickly. Combined with practise from both the example sheets and additional materials as can be found in the textbooks, should prepare you quite well for this course.
MIHDApplied Electromagnetism and MaterialsPages:346Applied Electromagnetism and Materials picks up where Basic Electromagnetism and Materials left off by presenting practical and relevant technological information about electromagnetic material properties and their applications. This book is aimed at senior undergraduate and graduate students as well as researchers in materials science and is the product of many years of teaching basic and applied electromagnetism. Topics range from the spectroscopy and characterization of dielectrics and semiconductors, to non-linear effects and electromagnetic cavities, to ion-beam applications in materials science.
RapidshareMIHDNanomaterials Handbook800 PagesExploring both commercially available and emerging materials, the Nanomaterials Handbook delves into the unique properties of materials that are realized at the nano level using language familiar to materials scientists. While it offers an in-depth investigation of carbon-based nanomaterials, which are as important to nanotechnology as silicon is to electronics, it goes beyond the usual discussion of nanotubes and nanofibers to consider graphite whiskers, cones and polyhedral crystals, and nanocrystalline diamonds. It also provides significant new information with regard to nanostructured semiconductors, ceramics, metals, biomaterials and polymers, as well as advances in drug delivery.

DownloadMirrorPrinciples and Practice of Laser-Doppler Anemometry2nd Edition 437 PagesLess cooperation among three co-authors. This is the second book I have read on LDV. It does gives principles of LDA. However, the book is difficult to be a systematic reference. The book was written by three different authors. there is less cooperation among coauthors. The contents of different chapter are overlapped a lot. For a good book, those contents should be inter-refered. A lot of symbols are used for the same phsical parameter by different coauthors in different chapters. One can easily find that the book was separately written by three authors without even telephones to communicate with each other. I don't recommend it for first time readers. Let alone as a course book.
DownloadMirrorAeronomy of the Middle AtmosphereChemistry and Physics of the Stratosphere and Mesosphere(Atmospheric and Oceanographic Sciences Library)Pages:646Since the Industrial Revolution the chemical composition of the atmosphere has changed at a rate unprecedented in recent history. Ozone depletion emerged as one of the most important environmental issues of the 20th century as evidence grew for substantial human influences on the atmospheric ozone abundances over much fo the globe. The science of the ozone layer and its interactions with halogenated chemical compounds are the primary subjects of this book. The volume provides a comprehensive view of the chemical, dynamical, and radiative processes that affect ozone and other chemicals in the stratosphere and mesosphere. Over recent decades our understanding of these processes has increased dramatically. The discovery of the Antarctic ozone hole has shown that human activities can lead to major changes in our environment.
DownloadBasic Complex AnalysisPages: 600The book reveals complex analysis as a very elegant and lovely branch of mathematics. The level of rigour is not that of Marsden's other book, Elementary Classical Analysis. Instead, Basic Complex Analysis can be usefully read by non-maths majors, especially those in physics and engineering.Key ideas are well covered. Starting with the Laurant series, which generalises the Taylor series. Then, from this, the idea of contour integration is examined. Giving rise to the Residue Theorem and the winding number. All because the only term that does not integrate to 0 is 1/z, which gives the complex log and its imaginary argument is the only thing left. So simple and powerful. Amazing that an essentially arbitrarily intricate contour integral can be given by the residues at the enclosed poles! Yet the text's derivation should get straightforward to follow for most readers.If you are going onto advanced physics, like quantum electrodynamics, then this theorem is used extensively.The book also covers important subsequent ideas. Especially conformal mapping and the Schwartz-Christoffel transformation. The treatment of conformal mapping, though, is only a hint of the richness of analysis available here.The numerous problems are also good for the student to tackle.
DownloadMirrorIon-Induced Electron Emission from Crystalline Solids(Springer Tracts in Modern Physics) Pages161This monograph deals with ion-induced electron emission from crystalline solids bombarded by fast ions. During the past decade, electron spectroscopy combined with the ion channeling technique has revealed various "messages" about ion-solid and electron-solid interactions that are carried by the emitted electrons. In addition, the book describes the underlying physics and experimental techniques. It will provide useful information for students and scientists working in ion-beam-based research and development in various areas of atomic and solid-state physics, materials science, and surface science.
