Progress in Low Temperature Physics
Elsevier Science 2005; US$ 297.00A number of interrelated areas of low temperature physics are brought together in this volume. The four topics are presented as separate chapters. First is the study of the Kibble-Zurek mechanism for defect formation following quench cooling of superfluid 3He and its relation to quantum field theory. Properties of heavy fermion materials are described... more...
Fundamentals of Phosphors
CRC Press 2006; US$ 107.95With a diverse array of applications, phosphors play a major role in display, diagnostic, sensing, and illumination technologies. A thorough understanding of the underlying science and material properties of the major phosphor materials is essential for bringing these technologies about.

Extreme Nonlinear Optics
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2006; US$ 109.99Following the birth of the laser in 1960, the field of "nonlinear optics" rapidly emerged.Today, laser intensities and pulse durations are readily available, for which the concepts and approximations of traditional nonlinear optics no longer apply. In this regime of "extreme nonlinear optics," a large variety of novel and unusual... more...
Quantum Interferometry in Phase Space
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2005; US$ 149.99Deals with quantum-mechanical distribution functions and their applications in quantum optics and neutron interferometry. This book describes the phase-space representation of quantum optical phenomena, such as coherent and squeezed states.
