Kittel's Introduction to Solid State Physics, Global Edition, has
been the standard solid state physics text for physics majors since
the publication of its first edition over 60 years ago. The
emphasis in the book has always been on physics rather than formal
mathematics. This book is written with the goal that it is
accessible to undergraduate students and consistently teachable.
With each new edition, the author has attempted to add important
new developments in the field without impacting its inherent
content coverage. This Global Edition offers the advantage of
expanded end-of-chapter problem sets.
Revise smart and save! Our Revision Workbooks are designed to help
students develop vital skills throughout the course in preparation
for the exam with: One-to-one page match with the OCR AS/A level
Physics Revision Guide so you can find the practice you need
quickly and easily Skills building pages and practice questions in
the style of the new exams Guided support and hints providing
additional scaffolding, helping you avoid common pitfalls Full set
of practice papers written to match the new specification exactly
This second book on Unity Root Matrix Theory extends its original
three-dimensional formulation, as given in the first book, to an
arbitrary number of higher dimensions. Unity Root Matrix Theory is
formulated with strong adherence to concepts in mathematical
physics and it is thought it may provide a discrete formulation of
physical phenomena at the Planck level and upward. Consequently, it
is essential that the theory incorporates the geometric
dimensionality present in established physical theories. In
particular, it must naturally embody the four-dimensional spacetime
of Special Relativity, the five dimensions of Kaluza-Klein theory,
and the eleven or more dimensions of Grand Unified Theories such as
String Theory. Not only has an n-dimensional extension of Unity
Root Matrix Theory successfully been achieved, whilst retaining all
the three-dimensional mathematical and physical properties detailed
in the first book, but a complete n-dimensional solution has been
obtained which exhibits the geometric property of compactification,
or dimensional reduction. This solution shows that dimensional
shrinkage of higher dimensions may occur over long evolutionary
timescales. The emergence of compactification and other physical
phenomena gives further confidence that n-dimensional Unity Root
Matrix Theory may, indeed, offer a discrete formulation of Physics
starting at its most elemental level.
Developed on surprisingly simple but fundamental concepts, it
provides a rich mathematical and physical structure, justifying it
as a subject to be studied in its own right by physicists and
mathematicians alike. Ultimately, it is thought that unity root
matrix theory may provide an alternative reformulation of some
fundamental concepts in physics and an integer-based escape from
the current, unification impasse.
Power Ultrasonics: Applications of High-Intensity Ultrasound,
Second Edition provides a comprehensive reference on the
fundamentals, processing, engineering, medical, food and
pharmaceutical applications of ultrasonic processing. Chapters
cover the fundamentals of nonlinear propagation of ultrasonic waves
in fluids and solids, discuss the materials and designs of power
ultrasonic transducers and devices, identify applications of high
power ultrasound in materials engineering and mechanical
engineering, food processing technology, environmental monitoring
and remediation and industrial and chemical processing (including
pharmaceuticals), medicine and biotechnology, and cover
developments in ultrasound therapy and surgery applications. The
new edition also includes recent advances in modeling,
characterization and measurement techniques, along with additive
manufacturing and micromanufacturing. This is an invaluable
reference for graduate students and researchers working in the
disciplines of materials science and engineering. In addition,
those working on the physics of acoustics, sound and ultrasound,
sonochemistry, acoustic engineering and industrial process
technology, R&D managers, production, and biomedical engineers
will find it useful to their work.

This book aims to provide an overview of the special functions of
fractional calculus and their applications in diffusion and random
search processes. The book contains detailed calculations for
various examples of anomalous diffusion, random search and
stochastic resetting processes, which can be easily followed by the
reader, who will be able to reproduce the obtained results. The
book will be intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate
students and researchers in physics, mathematics and other natural
sciences due to the various examples which will be provided in the
book.
Renowned for its interactive focus on conceptual understanding,
Halliday and Resnick's Principles of Physics, 12th edition, is an
industry-leading resource in physics teaching with expansive,
insightful, and accessible treatments of a wide variety of
subjects. Focusing on several contemporary areas of research and a
wide array of tools that support students' active learning, this
book guides students through the process of learning how to
effectively read scientific material, identify fundamental
concepts, reason through scientific questions, and solve
quantitative problems. This International Adaptation of the twelfth
edition is built to be a learning center with practice
opportunities, simulations, and videos. Numerous practice and
assessment questions are available to ensure that students
understand the problem-solving processes behind key concepts and
understand their mistakes while working through problems.
