With the help of the path integration method, this book investigates the generation of dynamical mass in various four-fermion models, including models with the internal symmetry groups SU(2), SU(3), SU(5), and with CP-violation. It also explores the local SU(2)xU(1) four-fermion model with the composite Higgs boson, and shows that the four-quark interaction appears naturally with the help of the gluon propagator in the infrared region. The book also provides the mass formula for the σ-meson, the Goldberger-Treiman relation and the values of quark condensates, and proves that four-quark models describe…

Everything You Need to Know About Black Holes
Shadow of an Extra Dimension
What exactly are black holes? Astronomers take spectacular photographs of these objects, but theoretical physicists are racking their brains trying to understand how they are formed and what will be their final fate. It is believed that they are the solution to one of the greatest challenges, i.e. the enormous difference between Einstein's model of gravity and quantum mechanics. Both theories describe our nature extremely accurately on a large scale and on a small scale. The former is a deterministic theory, while the latter is far from deterministic. Bringing these…
What are black holes? They may hold the key to unifying Einstein’s gravity and quantum mechanics. Are they the final stage of a collapsing star? Or do primordial black holes reveal a different origin? This book presents the latest insights into these enormous challenges.

In this book, we propose a multicentre model with several types of traps (shallow, phosphorescent, and deep) and two competing recombination centres. A system of kinetic equations was written and solutions of the equation were obtained in analytical form for the concentrations of free and localized charge carriers during and after excitation of the crystal. These solutions made it possible to obtain the dependences of luminescence intensity and conductivity, which coincide well with the experimental results. The obtained kinetic dependences expand the possibilities of applying the classical theories…

This book focuses on bulk and nanostructure crystals, and specifically discusses possible crystal lattices, their reciprocal lattices, and the Bragg relation for determining crystal structure. It describes band theory in independent electron approximation using the usual perturbation quantum theory, as well as how the internal electric field of the lattice periodic potential affects degenerate states at the Brillouin zone boundaries by using the Stark effect, which leads to energy bands separated by energy gaps. The book also discusses low-dimensional systems and nanostructures using the free electron model and tight binding…

Traditional branches of optics describe the behavior of light from different points of view (geometrical, wave and energetic). All of them were logically united in the famous book Principles of Optics by M. Born and E. Wolf, first published in 1969. However, over the past 60 years, optics has changed radically: the invention of the laser led to the emergence of new branches of optics (coherence optics, holography, optics of ultra-fast laser pulses, etc.) and mathematical tools of modern physical theories (quantum mechanics, electronics and microwave technology, etc.) were applied…

The Fundamental Principles of Physics
From Atom to Molecule
Starting from the fundamental constituents of matter, this book provides a more precise idea of what an atom or a molecule is by using theories which reproduce the experimental behaviour of matter. Aware of the comprehension difficulties that quantum theory can raise in the minds of students, the book insists on the importance of the physical principles which underlie it, such as the Coulomb relationship, the particle-wave duality, the notion of indeterminism, presence probability and the virial theorem.

The Role of Point Defects in the Luminescence Processes in Inorganic Solids and Phosphor Development
Specialists in lighting, such as those working with medical imaging devices or scintillators in particle accelerators, are keen on understanding and developing luminescence processes for applications such as 3D x-ray imaging, high-energy particle detection, and electronic data storage. Developing sensitive phosphors requires knowledge of material development and the role of point defects in solids, information often lacking in literature. While doping impurities in inorganic solids can achieve bright fluorescence, creating suitable electron-hole traps is crucial for stimulated luminescence, a fact not commonly emphasized. This book aims to bridge…
