X-Ray Scattering From Semiconductors (2nd Edition)by P F Fewster
World Scientific 2003; US$ 98.80This book presents a practical guide to the analysis of materials and includes a thorough description of the underlying theories and instrumental aberrations caused by real experiments. The main emphasis concerns the analysis of thin films and multilayers, primarily semiconductors, although the techniques are very general. Semiconductors can be very perfect composite crystals and therefore their study can lead to the largest volume of information, since X-ray scattering can assess the deviation from perfection. more...
Organic Electroluminescenceby Zakya H. Kafafi
CRC Press 2005; US$ 149.95Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology has proven popular in commercial applications, especially when low-voltage and inexpensive displays are needed. This collection of 11 articles describes ongoing research on electroluminescence in small molecules, emission mechanics in OLEDs, physical properties in OLEDs in space charge-limited conducti more...
X-Ray Diffraction by Polycrystalline Materialsby René Guinebretière
ISTE 2006; US$ 117.00This book presents a physical approach to the diffraction phenomenon and its applications in materials science. Part one is a historical presentation of the discovery of X-ray diffraction. Part two is devoted to a description of the physical phenomenon of X-ray diffraction on perfect and imperfect crystals. A detailed analysis of the instruments used for the characterization of powdered materials or thin films is proposed in part three. The description of the processing of measured signals and their results is given. In the final part, the author presents recent developments relating to quantitative microstructural analysis of powders or epitaxial thin films on the basis of X-ray diffraction. more...
Relativistic Astrophysics And Cosmology - Proceedings Of The 13th Course Of The International School Of Cosmic Ray Astrophysicsby Maurice M Shapiro; Todor Stanev; John P Wefel
World Scientific 2004; US$ 127.00This book constitutes the proceedings of the 13th Course of the International School of Cosmic Ray Astrophysics. It focuses on major areas of astrophysics, their relation to cosmic ray physics, and our current understanding of the energetic processes in the Galaxy and the Universe that govern the acceleration and form the features of the cosmic rays that we detect at Earth. The proceedings have been selected for coverage in:. ? Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings (ISTP CDROM version / ISI Proceedings). ? CC Proceedings ? Engineering & Physical Sciences. more...

Springer 2006; US$ 179.00Delivers an account of the principles and practice of inelastic and spectroscopic methods available at neutron and synchrotron sources, including developments. Each chapter in this book introduces the basic concepts of the technique and provides an overview of work. It provides useful information for physicists, chemists and materials scientists. more...
Cosmic Rays at Earthby P.K.F. Grieder
Elsevier 2001; US$ 315.00In 1912 Victor Franz Hess made the revolutionary discovery that ionizing radiation is incident upon the Earth from outer space. He showed with ground-based and balloon-borne detectors that the intensity of the radiation did not change significantly between day and night. Consequently, the sun could not be regarded as the sources of this radiation and the question of its origin remained unanswered. Today, almost one hundred years later the question of the origin of the cosmic radiation still remains a mystery. Hess' discovery has given an enormous impetus to large areas of science, in particular to physics, and has played a major role in the formation of our current understanding of universal evolution. For example, the development of new fields... more...
Energy Budget In The High Energy Universeby Katsuhiko Sato; Junji Hisano
World Scientific 2007; US$ 156.00The existence of materials with very high specific energies greatly exceeding the local virial temperature is best represented by cosmic rays, whose origin has long been a mystery. Recent astrophysical observations in X-ray, gamma-ray, neutrino, and high energy cosmic ray experiments, in conjunction with theoretical studies, have revealed various new aspects of the high energy universe, including promising candidates for cosmic ray acceleration sites. As each approach has its own advantages and limitations, it is expected that joint efforts by experimentalists and theorists in various related fields are essential. The contributions in this volume include observation of the universe through a wide range of techniques for detecting cosmic rays,... more...
Electron Dynamics by Inelastic X-Ray Scatteringby Winfried Schuelke
Oxford University Press, UK 2007; US$ 180.00The book offers the first comprehensive review of experimental methods, theory, and successful applications of synchrotron radiation based inelastic X-ray scattering (IXS) spectroscopy, which enables the investigation of electron dynamics in condensed matter (correlated motion and excitation). - ;Knowledge of the dynamics of many-electron systems is of fundamental importance to all disciplines of condensed matter physics. A very effective access to electron dynamics is offered by inelastic X-ray scattering (IXS) spectroscopy. The double differential scattering cross section for IXS is directly related to the time-dependent two-particle density correlation function, and, for large momentum and energy transfer (Compton limit) to the electron... more...
Cosmic Rays in Magnetospheres of the Earth and other Planetsby Lev I. Dorman
Springer 2008; US$ 249.00Describes the behavior of cosmic rays in the magnetosphere of the Earth and of some other planets. This book deals with the history of the discovery of geomagnetic effects caused by cosmic rays and their importance for the determination of the nature of cosmic rays or gamma rays. more...
Diffuse X-Ray Scattering and Models of Disorderby Thomas Richard Welberry
Oxford University Press, UK 2004; US$ 223.50Diffuse X-ray scattering is a rich (virtually untapped) source of local structural information over and above that obtained by conventional crystallography. The book aims to show how computer simulation of a model crystal provides a general method by which diffuse scattering of all kinds and from all types of materials can be interpreted and analysed. - ;Diffuse X-ray scattering is a rich (virtually untapped) source of local structural information over and above that obtained by conventional crystal structure determination (crystallography).
