Basic Superfluidsby A. M. Guenault
CRC Press 2002; US$ 52.95The author describes superfluidity as the jewel in the crown of low temperature physics. At low enough temperatures, every substance in thermal equilibrium must become ordered. Since some materials remain fluid to the lowest temperatures, it is a fascinating question as to how this ordering can take place. One possibility is the formation of a superfluid state, a state in which there is macroscopic quantum order, effectively quantum mechanics in a tea-cup. These ideas are developed in chapter 1. The book assumes some basic knowledge of quantum, statistical and thermal physics, and builds on this background to give a readable introduction to the three superfluids of low temperature physics. A short chapter describing experimental techniques... more...
Bose-Einstein Condensation in Dilute Gasesby C. J. Pethick; H. Smith
Cambridge University Press 2001; US$ 62.00Since the experimental discovery in 1995 of Bose-Einstein condensation in dilute atomic gases, investigating such condensates has become one of the most active areas in contemporary physics. Intended for graduate-level students and researchers, this textbook (complete with problem sets) provides an up-to-date and detailed introduction to this exciting new subject. more...
Vortices in Bose-Einstein Condensatesby Amandine Aftalion
Springer 2006; US$ 129.00In experiments on Bose-Einstein condensates, vortices have been observed in various conditions. This monograph is focuses on the mathematical modelling of these phenomena. It is useful for mathematical researchers and theoretical physicists interested in superfluidity and quantum condensates. more...
Emergent Nonlinear Phenomena in Bose-Einstein Condensatesby Panayotis G. Kevrekidis; Dimitri J. Frantzeskakis; Ricardo Carretero-gonzález
Springer 2008; US$ 209.00This book, written by experts in the fields of atomic physics and nonlinear science, covers the important developments in a special aspect of Bose-Einstein condensation, namely nonlinear phenomena in condensates. Topics covered include bright, dark, gap and multidimensional solitons; vortices; vortex lattices; optical lattices; multicomponent condensates; mathematical methods/rigorous results; and the beyond-the-mean-field approach. more...

Many-Body Schrödinger Dynamics of Bose-Einstein Condensatesby Kaspar Sakmann
Springer 2011; US$ 129.00At extremely low temperatures, clouds of bosonic atoms form what is known as a Bose-Einstein condensate. Recently, it has become clear that many different types of condensates - so called fragmented condensates - exist. In order to tell whether fragmentation occurs or not, it is necessary to solve the full many-body Schrodinger equation, a task that remained elusive for experimentally relevant conditions for many years. In this thesis the first numerically exact solutions of the time-dependent many-body Schrodinger equation for a bosonic Josephson junction are provided and compared to the approximate Gross-Pitaevskii and Bose-Hubbard theories. It is thereby shown that the dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates is far more intricate than one... more...
Los gases (Gases)by William B. Rice
Shell Education 2011; US$ 8.99What continues to expand to take up all the space it can? Gases! A gas is a state of matter, like a liquid and a solid. But it has properties that are quite different. In this book, read all about the differences and what makes a gas a gas. 32 pages more...
Ready For Change?by Cora Lynn Lynn Heimer Heimer Rathbone
Palgrave Macmillan 2012; US$ 40.00Aimed at managers and executives wanting insight into how to better drive change at the micro and macro level, Ready for Change? provides guidance in understanding the factors within different business disciplines that enable and disable lasting change through examples of good practice and 'not so good' practice within real organisations. more...
