This textbook provides an introduction to physics for undergraduate students of geology and Earth sciences. It explains basic physics theories first, which are then applied to geological phenomena, using accessible math with figures and solved problems.
The Fundamental Principles of Physics
This book provides a precise idea of what an atom or molecule is using quantum theory. To overcome student comprehension difficulties, it insists on the importance of underlying physical principles, such as particle-wave duality, indeterminism, and presence probability.
This book explores the synthesis, characterization, and applications of graphene and its derivatives, including quantum dots. For the first time, both industrial and medical applications are gathered in one book, offering a unique perspective on the future of the field.
Over the past 60 years, optics has changed radically. The invention of the laser led to new branches of the field. This work unites traditional and modern optics into a single theory, using modern mathematical tools and a heuristic approach.
Philosophical Semantics
This book offers an innovative systematic approach to meaning and reference, unifying insights from philosophers like Wittgenstein and Frege while exposing errors of formalists from Quine to Kripke. It shows how the cartography of philosophy of language can be redrawn.
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.
Nanostructured Nonlinear Optical Materials
This book focuses on novel applications of nanostructured nonlinear optical materials, including optical limiting, Q-switching, mode-locking, and laser-nanoplasma physics. It is useful for physicists, material scientists, and engineers interested in laser technology.
General Relativity Conflict and Rivalries
Galina Weinstein investigates Albert Einstein and his interactions with various scientists, focusing on their implicit and explicit responses to his work. This analysis reveals the central figures who influenced Einstein during his work on the general theory of relativity.
This book presents research on the diffraction, radiation, and propagation of elastic waves, focusing on interactions between bodies and media interfaces. It details solutions to three-dimensional wave problems for isotropic and anisotropic bodies using Debye potentials.
Entropy generation minimization is widely used in thermal problems, sometimes as a unified theory. Is this really the case? This book answers this question, showing the theory has limitations and a definite application scope, beyond which it may provide incorrect results.
Growing Large Crystals of Diamonds
This guide shows how to grow large CVD diamond crystals for gems and industrial applications. For experts and newcomers, it covers the technology, details difficulties encountered during growth and their resolutions, and explains how to identify CVD diamonds from simulants.
This book discusses the basic tools of mathematical physics for physicists, mathematicians, and engineers. It reveals the indissoluble connection between physical ideas and mathematical concepts, emphasizing the physical origin and flexibility of the equations.
Fundamental Optics
This book updates our knowledge of light with new data from reproducible experiments. It presents a new theory which interprets verifiable information according to the various speeds of the lights involved, examining light’s general motions in space.
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.
This student-friendly textbook provides a clear introduction to statistical physics. It bridges classical and quantum mechanics to explain the collective behavior of complex systems, exploring real-world applications from ideal gases to quantum condensation.
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.
This book proposes a model of light knot electronic structure, challenging the interpretation of quantum entanglement and proving a paradox in the uncertainty relationship. It establishes the foundation for a deterministic, local-realism quantum mechanics.
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.
This book describes a new interpretation of the Standard Model based on relations between particle masses and stable intervals in nuclear data. A combined analysis of these two data sets is performed for the first time, revealing many new relations based on the electron.
This book takes a historical and geometrical approach to Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity. It details the latest developments in the field, including cutting-edge research on gravitational waves, black holes, and cosmology.
