Chemistry is a subject that many students with differing goals have
to tackle. This unique general chemistry textbook is tailored to
more mathematically-oriented engineering or physics students. The
authors emphasize the principles underlying chemistry rather than
chemistry itself and the almost encyclopedic completeness appearing
in a common textbook of general chemistry is sacrificed for an
emphasis to these principles. Contained within 300 pages, it is
suitable for a one-semester course for students who have a strong
background in calculus. Over 200 problems with answers are provided
so that the students can check their progress.
Computational Studies of New Materials was published by World
Scientific in 1999 and edited by Daniel Jelski and Thomas F George.
Much has happened during the past decade. Advances have been made
on the same materials discussed in the 1999 book, including
fullerenes, polymers and nonlinear optical processes in materials,
which are presented in this 2010 book. In addition, different
materials and topics are comprehensively covered, including
nanomedicine, hydrogen storage materials, ultrafast laser
processes, magnetization and light-emitting diodes.
This book, the first of this kind, provides a comprehensive
introduction to ultrafast phenomena, covering the fundamentals of
ultrafast spin and charge dynamics, femtosecond magnetism,
all-optical spin switching, and high-harmonic generation. It covers
the experimental tools, including ultrafast pump-probe experiments,
and theoretical methods including quantum chemistry and density
functional theory, both time-independent and time-dependent. The
authors explain in clear language how an ultrafast laser pulse is
generated experimentally, how it can induce rapid responses in
electrons and spins in molecules, nanostructures and solids
(magnetic materials and superconductors), and how it can create
high-harmonic generation from atoms and solids on the attosecond
timescale. They also show how this field is driving the next
generation of magnetic storage devices through femtomagnetism,
all-optical spin switching in ferrimagnets and beyond, magnetic
logic in magnetic molecules, and ultrafast intense light sources,
incorporating numerous computer programs, examples, and problems
throughout, to show how the beautiful research can be done behind
the scene. Key features: * Provides a clear introduction to modern
ultrafast phenomena and their applications in physics, chemistry,
materials sciences, and engineering. * Presents in detail how
high-harmonic generation occurs in atoms and solids. * Explains
ultrafast demagnetization and spin switching, a new frontier for
development of faster magnetic storage devices. * Includes numerous
worked-out examples and problems in each chapter, with real
research codes in density functional theory and quantum chemical
calculations provided in the chapters and in the Appendices. This
book is intended for undergraduate and graduate students,
researchers in physics, chemistry, biology, materials sciences, and
engineering.
This book takes a "bottom-up" approach, beginning with atoms and
molecules - molecular building blocks - and assembling them to
build nanostructured materials. Coverage includes Carbon Nanotubes,
Nanowires, and Diamondoids. The applications presented here will
enable practitioners to design and build nanometer-scale systems.
These concepts have far-reaching implications: from mechanical to
chemical processes, from electronic components to ultra-fine
sensors, from medicine to energy, and from pharmaceuticals to
agriculture and food.

This book provides a representative sampling of the latest advances
in theoretical physics. Chapters 1 and 2 deal with the Hydrogen
atom. In Chapter 1, Blaive and Cadilhac carry out an analysis of
hydrogenoid atomic wave functions. In Chapter 2, Boudet, Blaive
Geniyes and Vanel carry out a relativistic calculation with
retardation of the photoelectric effect of Hydrogen. Chapters 3 and
4 look at atoms in the presence of an external radiation field.
Chapter 3 by Dastidar and Dastidar examines above-threshold
ionisation of Argon in a laser field. In Chapter 4, Kazakov applies
the Jaynes-Cummings model to an atom interacting simultaneously
with a quasiresonant classical field and a quantised mode. Quantum
dynamical problems are addressed in Chapters 5 and 6. In Chapter 5,
Baute, Egusquiza and Muga study the effect of negative and
classically-forbidden momenta in one-dimensional quantum
scattering. Chapter 6 by Bellini finds analytical solutions to
reaction-diffusion equations by mapping on a time-independent
Schroedinger equation. Chapters 7 and 8 are devoted to nuclear and
particle physics. In Chapter 7, Kravchenko and Soznik obtain the
nucleon-nucleus optical potential in the nuclear matter
approximation with the generalised Skyrme interaction. In Chapter
8, Terasaki examines non-factorisable contributions in decays. The
final three chapters contain various mathematical studies which are
of interest to theoretical physics in general. In Chapter 9,
Shiqing analyses the equations of motion for the Newtonian n-body
problem. Riazi looks at the geometry and topology of solitons in
Chapter 10, and the book concludes with Chapter 11 containing a
study by Elipe of the rotations of perturbed triaxial rigid bodies.
This book presents research in the field of theoretical physics and
non-linear optics. Topics discussed include quantum field theory;
higher dimensional model spaces and defects; non-linear refractive
index theory; quark-pion coupling constant and ground-state baryon
masses; the search for higgs bosons in two-higgs doublet models and
the neutrino mass in a six dimensional E6 model.
Theoretical physics employs mathematical models and abstractions of
physics in an attempt to explain natural phenomena. This book
presents and discusses current research in the study of theoretical
physics, including interfaces in nanometric dielectrics;
thermodynamics of liquid metals; fractional oscillators;
superconducting state parameters of Be-Zr glassy alloys and
3d-transition metal binary alloys.
An amorphous metal is a metallic material with a disordered
atomic-scale structure. In contrast to most metals, which are
crystalline and therefore have a highly ordered arrangement of
atoms, amorphous alloys are non-crystalline. This new book presents
and reviews research in the study of bulk metallic glasses.
These twelve chapters, written by scientists from around the world,
provide a representative sampling of the latest advances in
theoretical physics. The book is divided in five sections,
addressing the following topics: optics and quantum mechanics,
relativity and cosmology, nuclear physics, thermodynamics and
mathematics.
This book presents carefully selected chapters on theoretical
physics for 2001 from around the globe.
