This book is devoted to a quasi-classical treatment of quantum transitions, with an emphasis on magnetic and electric dipolar resonance. In addition to known results, it presents parametric resonance for electric dipoles, which may lead to spontaneous electric polarization.
This book is devoted to a quasi-classical treatment of quantum transitions, with an emphasis on nuclear magnetic resonance, nuclear quadrupole resonance and electric dipolar resonance. The method described here is based on the quasi-classical description of condensed matter, and makes use of the equation of motion of harmonic oscillators with external forces. In addition to known results in magnetic resonance, the book also presents parametric resonance for electric dipoles and dipolar interaction which may lead to spontaneous electric polarization.
This book is a comprehensive introduction to the physics of intense laser-plasma interaction, motivated by applications in high-energy-density physics. For master’s and graduate students, it combines accessible theory with up-to-date developments and practical exercises.
This book generalizes transforms from accelerated frames to inertial frames—essential for real-world applications where labs are not truly inertial. It covers the theory and derivation of relativistic fictitious forces (Coriolis, centrifugal) and the Thomas Wigner effect.
This book explores statistical physics, focusing on subjects from condensed matter to black holes. It discusses gas-liquid transitions, the entropy of earthquakes, the hadronization of the quark-gluon plasma, and the phase diagram of quantum chromodynamics.
Yefremov provides insights into the tight connection between fundamental math and mechanics, demonstrating that quantum, classical, and relativistic mechanics can be regarded as links of a single theoretical chain readily extracted from a simple mathematical medium.
This book presents a unified, accessible approach to the physics of the liquid state, in and out of equilibrium. It covers statistical mechanics and complex fluids, making it an indispensable reference for graduate students and researchers in physics and chemistry.
This book graphically represents metallic and semi-metallic elements, allowing their nature to be interpreted. Each element is plotted in a diagram with thermal conductivity on the abscissa and the Young’s modulus on the ordinate.
This book explores how simple optical systems can create fascinating quantum states, including Schrödinger’s cat-type states of light. Using abundant graphics over formulas, it makes modern quantum optics accessible to scientists, teachers, and students of physics.
This book provides the “picture of reality” for the quantum world that eluded Einstein. It offers a realistic interpretation compatible with all experimental evidence, plus new perspectives on dark energy, dark matter, and stellar collapse, summarizing 50 years of research.
This book is a guide to performing uniform broadband measurements with low uncertainty. It discusses radiometric, photometric, color, and LED measurements, and shows how to avoid large errors by standardizing the measurement procedure and using properly selected meters.
At last, a clear path through quantum mechanics. This book intuitively unravels entanglement and wave-particle duality, revealing a profound truth: the objectivity of reality is not a simple yes-or-no question.
Explore Boltzmann’s probabilistic theory of heat, covering entropy, the Gibbs distribution, fluctuations, and dissipation. With applications from phase transitions to earthquakes, this book is for students and researchers seeking new ways of investigation in Thermodynamics.
Explore the wave and vibration equation, emphasizing singular solutions and physical content. This book covers applications from tsunamis and storm breakers to the ringing of bells and collapsing towers. For students, researchers, and engineers in physics and applied mathematics.
This book explores quantum-mechanical scattering in macroscopic targets and the conditions for coherent scattering on a macroscopic scale. It introduces coherence domains and examines their role in scattering, emphasizing the momentum and energy transfer to the target.
This book presents physical kinetics from a unique angle, deriving the Boltzmann equation from atomic motion using Landau’s elementary excitations. It details the kinetic theory of classical gas and plasma, the lifetime of phonons, and the features of superconductivity.
This book presents a theory of many interacting fermions, relating Landau’s theory of the normal Fermi liquid to quantum-mechanical effects. It derives the interaction function, investigates the validity of the quasiparticle concept, and estimates the ground-state energy.
