Isodual Theory of Antimatterby Ruggero Maria Santilli
Springer 2006; US$ 169.00Shows that our classical, quantum and cosmological knowledge of antimatter is at its beginning with much yet to be discovered, and that a commitment to antimatter by experimentalists is useful to antimatter science. more...
Bestandteile der Materieby Manfred Fink; Rolf-Dieter Heuer; Hans Kleinpoppen; Klaus-Peter Lieb; Nikolaus Risch; Peter Schmüser
Walter de Gruyter, Inc. 2003; US$ 103.60Für Studierende der Physik im Hauptstudium ist das Buch ein Begleittext zu Vorlesungen über Atom-, Molekül-, Kern- und Elementarteilchenphysik; hier sind die experimentellen Aspekte stärker berücksichtigt als in den häufig theoriebetonten Vorlesungen. Weil die genannten Vorlesungen in der Regel "Wahlpflichtfächer" sind, von denen meist nur zwei gewählt werden, bestehen am Ende des Studiums Wissenslücken, die mit Hilfe dieses Lehrbuchs im Selbststudium geschlossen werden können. Für Doktoranden bietet es eine kompetente Heranführung an die Fachliteratur. Darüber hinaus wendet sich das Buch an alle Naturwissenschaftler und Ingenieure, die sich über den aktuellen Stand der Forschung auf diesen fundamentalen Gebieten informieren möchten. Für Physiklehrer,... more...
The Nature of Matterby Daniel Larson
Infobase Publishing 2007; US$ 30.00One way to understand the world is by looking at its most basic building blocks. All the substances in the world are made up of atoms, which interact with each other by exchanging or sharing electrons. Deep within the atom lies the nucleus, which itself contains the elementary particles called quarks. And by building powerful particle accelerators and enormous detectors, physicists are able to probe the most fundamental constituents of matter. The Nature of Matter is a compelling guide that identifies the essential qualities and characteristics by which matter is recognized. more...
Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physicsby F. B. Dunning; Randall G. Hulet
Elsevier 1996; US$ 225.00Combined with the other two volumes, this text is a comprehensive treatment of the key experimental methods of atomic, molecular, and optical physics, as well as an excellent experimental handbook for the field. Thewide availability of tunable lasers in the past several years has revolutionized the field and lead to the introduction of many new experimental methods that are covered in these volumes. Traditional methods are also included to ensure that the volumes will be a complete reference source for the field. more...

Physics and Engineering of New Materialsby Annemarie Pucci; Klaus Wandelt
Springer 2008; US$ 299.00Covers experimental and theoretical material - physics oriented topics such as new materials, magnetism, nanostructures, surface physics, carbon nanotubes, photonics, biophysics, and large-scale simulations. more...
The Lightness of Beingby Frank Wilczek
Basic Books 2009; US$ 16.95Our understanding of nature’s deepest reality has changed radically, but almost without our noticing, over the past twenty-five years. Transcending the clash of older ideas about matter and space, acclaimed physicist Frank Wilczek explains a remarkable new discovery: matter is built from almost weightless units, and pure energy is the ultimate source of mass. He calls it The Lightness of Being.” Space is no mere container, empty and passive. It is a dynamic Grida modern ether and its spontaneous activity creates and destroys particles. This new understanding of mass explains the puzzling feebleness of gravity, and a gorgeous unification of all the forces comes sharply into focus. The Lightness of Being is the... more...
The Mystery of the Missing Antimatterby Helen R. Quinn; Yossi Nir
Princeton University Press 2007; US$ 29.95In the first fractions of a second after the Big Bang lingers a question at the heart of our very existence: why does the universe contain matter but almost no antimatter? The laws of physics tell us that equal amounts of matter and antimatter were produced in the early universe--but then, something odd happened. Matter won out over antimatter; had it not, the universe today would be dark and barren. But how and when did this occur? Helen Quinn and Yossi Nir guide readers into the very heart of this mystery--and along the way offer an exhilarating grand tour of cutting-edge physics. They explain both the history of antimatter and recent advances in particle physics and cosmology. And they discuss the enormous, high-precision experiments... more...
Statistical and Thermal Physicsby Harvey Gould; Jan Tobochnik
Princeton University Press 2010; US$ 85.00This textbook carefully develops the main ideas and techniques of statistical and thermal physics and is intended for upper-level undergraduate courses. The authors each have more than thirty years' experience in teaching, curriculum development, and research in statistical and computational physics. Statistical and Thermal Physics begins with a qualitative discussion of the relation between the macroscopic and microscopic worlds and incorporates computer simulations throughout the book to provide concrete examples of important conceptual ideas. Unlike many contemporary texts on thermal physics, this book presents thermodynamic reasoning as an independent way of thinking about macroscopic systems. Probability concepts and techniques are... more...
