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.
With an irreverent tone, the author debunks modern physics using common sense and experimental evidence. He proposes a new unifying model where all events are connected, from the subatomic to galaxies. This provocative read requires no advanced scientific knowledge.
Plasma instabilities are a major obstacle in achieving stable confinement in fusion devices. This book combines rigorous analysis with advanced simulations to uncover their dynamics and present practical strategies for mitigation, paving a path toward viable fusion energy.
This book explores the nonlinear features of natural phenomena through mathematical models. It focuses on practical methods to investigate these problems, presenting approaches applicable to a wide class of nonlinear equations and guiding even uninitiated readers.
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.
Many-body Theory
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.
This collection of research papers exploits optoelectronic methods in food, textile and geo sciences. Some discoveries break new ground, such as the ecology of waterfalls and the colours of clays. The challenge is to build your own apparatus.
Pyrometers are calibrated for blackbodies (BB), but real objects radiate differently, causing measurement errors. This book proposes original correction methods that account for an object’s radiation spectrum and its temperature dependence to increase the accuracy of pyrometry.
The muon is vital to particle, nuclear, and atomic physics, and a key component of the Standard Model. Muonic processes provide crucial information on the weak interaction. This book explores the various aspects of muon physics, highlighting the most recent experiments conducted.
