Physics of Planetary Rings - Celestial Mechanics of Continuous Media (Hardcover, 1999 ed.): Alexei M. Fridman Physics of Planetary Rings - Celestial Mechanics of Continuous Media (Hardcover, 1999 ed.)
Alexei M. Fridman; Translated by D. ter Haar; Nikolai N. Gorkavyi
R3,144 Discovery Miles 31 440 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Physics of Planetary Rings describes striking structures of the planetary rings of Saturn, Uranus, Jupiter, and Neptune: Narrow ringlets, spiral waves, and a chain of clumps. The author has contributed essential ideas to the full understanding of planetary rings via the stability analysis of dynamical systems. The combination of a high-quality description, the set of interesting illustrations, as well as the fascinating and natural presentation will make this book of considerable interest to astronomers, physicists, and mathematicians as well as students. There is no competing text for this book so far.

Lectures on Non-linear Plasma Kinetics (Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1995): D. ter Haar Lectures on Non-linear Plasma Kinetics (Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1995)

R1,549 Discovery Miles 15 490 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Lectures on Non-linear Plasma Kinetics is an introduction to modern non-linear plasma physics showing how many of the techniques of modern non-linear physics find applications in plasma physics and how, in turn, the results of this research find applications in astrophysics. Emphasis is given to explaining the physics of nonlinear processes and the radical change of cross-sections by collective effects. The author discusses new nonlinear phenomena involving the excitation of coherent nonlinear structures and the dynamics of their random motions in relation to new self-organization processes. He also gives a detailed description of applications of the general theory to various research fields, including the interaction of powerful radiation with matter, controlled thermonuclear research, etc.

Master of Modern Physics - The Scientific Contributions of H. A. Kramers (Hardcover, New): D. ter Haar Master of Modern Physics - The Scientific Contributions of H. A. Kramers (Hardcover, New)

The Dutch scientist Hendrik Kramers (1894-1952) was one of the greatest theoretical physicists of the twentieth century--and one of a mere handful who have made major contributions across the whole field. Physicists know his name from, among other things, the Kramers dispersion theory, the Kramers-Heisenberg dispersion formulae, the Kramers opacity formula, the Kramers degeneracy, and the Kramers-Kronig relations. Yet few people know more than the name, or recognize the full depth and range of his contributions. In this book, D. ter Haar seeks to change that. He presents for the first time anywhere a comprehensive discussion of Kramers's scientific work, and reprints twelve of his most important papers.

The author shows us that Kramers's remarkable and diverse work makes him at least the equal of such celebrated physicists as Fermi and Landau. He takes us through Kramers's groundbreaking research in such subjects as quantum theory, quantum electrodynamics, statistical mechanics, and solid-state physics. The papers he reprints include Kramers's derivation of the dispersion formulae that led to Heisenberg's matrix mechanics; his classic paper on the Brownian-motion approach to chemical reactions; a pioneering paper on polymers; and a paper on renormalization, a concept first introduced by Kramers and now one of the basic ideas of modern field theory.

This book will change how we view the course of twentieth-century science and will show that Kramers was indeed one of the masters of modern physics.
