This book covers the spatial anisotropy of induced optical effects in crystalline materials. It details analytical descriptions, 3D geometric representations, and experimental methods for studying electro-, piezo-, elasto-, and acousto-optic phenomena.
This book addresses analytical descriptions and geometric representations of the spatial anisotropy of induced optical effects in crystalline materials of different symmetry classes, as well as experimental methods and apparatus for the comprehensive studies of electro-, piezo-, elasto- and acousto-optic phenomena in crystalline solids. It also details 3D analysis of the anisotropies of linear electro-optic, piezo-optic, elasto-optic, acoustic and acousto-optic properties of various crystalline materials and constructs indicative or extreme surfaces describing the anisotropy effect.
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 focuses on the physics of disordered solids, challenging theories based on crystal structures. It compares data for crystals and glasses formed by the same atoms, paying particular attention to under-explored glass-forming crystals for students and researchers.
This book provides solutions to problems in solid-state physics that have eluded scientific explanation for decades, tackling mysteries like the structure of thin films, the existence of amorphous metals, and the cause of the Giant Hall Effect.
For advanced students, this book establishes a path from the study of phase transitions to the current understanding of living matter. It explores concepts from statistical mechanics, non-linear systems, chaos and self-organization drawn from physics, chemistry and biology.
This is the first book to present the direct method for solving inverse problems in X-ray spectroscopy, scattering, tomography, and reflectometry. It discusses the theory for multilayer structures and the phase problem in electron structural crystallography.
This book expands the classical theories of photoluminescence and photoconductivity with a new multicentre model. Its solutions coincide with experimental results, opening promising directions for the search for new and improved crystals for optoelectronic devices.
This is the first book on the modern Bose-liquid theory of unconventional superconductors and superfluids. A breakthrough beyond standard physics, this theory describes emerging pseudogap behaviors and novel states, comparing theoretical results with experimental findings.
Semiconductor silicon is the basic material of modern electronics. Its properties are determined by defects in its crystal structure, but a complete description of these defects has been a mystery—until now. This book solves it using classical and probabilistic approaches.
Developing sensitive phosphors for applications like 3D x-ray imaging requires knowledge of point defects in solids, information often lacking. This book bridges the gap, focusing on the crucial role of electron-hole traps for stimulated luminescence phenomena.
