  • The Embedding Method for Electronic Structure

    by John Inglesfield ...
    Series series IOP Expanding Physics
    The embedding method was originally developed for calculating the electronic structure of surfaces and interfaces, but its flexibility has provided a powerful tool in many other areas of physics. Here, John Inglesfield, who originated the method and has been a pioneer in its usage, brings together the different aspects of embedding and its applications. This authoritative text serves both as an ... Read more

  • Materials Modelling using Density Functional Theory

    Properties and Predictions

    by Feliciano Giustino ...
    This book is an introduction to the quantum theory of materials and first-principles computational materials modelling. It explains how to use density functional theory as a practical tool for calculating the properties of materials without using any empirical parameters. The structural, mechanical, optical, electrical, and magnetic properties of materials are described within a single unified ... Read more

  • Symmetries in Fundamental Physics

    by Kurt Sundermeyer ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Over the course of the last century it has become clear that both elementary particle physics and relativity theories are based on the notion of symmetries. These symmetries become manifest in that the "laws of nature" are invariant under spacetime transformations and/or gauge transformations. The consequences of these symmetries were analyzed as early as in 1918 by Emmy Noether on the level of ... Read more

  • An Introduction to Statistical Mechanics and Thermodynamics

    by Robert H. Swendsen ...
    Series series Oxford Graduate Texts
    This text presents the two complementary aspects of thermal physics as an integrated theory of the properties of matter. Conceptual understanding is promoted by thorough development of basic concepts. In contrast to many texts, statistical mechanics, including discussion of the required probability theory, is presented first. This provides a statistical foundation for the concept of entropy, which ... Read more

  • Turbulence and Self-Organization

    Modeling Astrophysical Objects

    by Mikhail Ya Marov, Aleksander V. Kolesnichenko ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The book deals with the development of continual models of turbulent natural media. Such models serve as a ground for the statement and numerical evaluation of the key problems of the structure and evolution of the numerous astrophysical and geophysical objects. The processes of ordering (self-organization) in an originally chaotic turbulent medium are addressed and treated in detail with the use ... Read more

  • Thin Liquid Films

    Dewetting and Polymer Flow

    by Ralf Blossey ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book is a treatise on the thermodynamic and dynamic properties of thin liquid films at solid surfaces and, in particular, their rupture instabilities. For the quantitative study of these phenomena, polymer thin films (sometimes referred to as “ultrathin”) have proven to be an invaluable experimental model system.What is it that makes thin film instabilities special and interesting? First, ... Read more

  • Why More Is Different

    Philosophical Issues in Condensed Matter Physics and Complex Systems

    Edited by Brigitte Falkenburg, Margaret Morrison ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The physics of condensed matter, in contrast to quantum physics or cosmology, is not traditionally associated with deep philosophical questions. However, as science - largely thanks to more powerful computers - becomes capable of analysing and modelling ever more complex many-body systems, basic questions of philosophical relevance arise. Questions about the emergence of structure, the nature of ... Read more

  • Linear Response Theory

    An Analytic-Algebraic Approach

    by Giuseppe De Nittis, Max Lein ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book presents a modern and systematic approach to Linear Response Theory (LRT) by combining analytic and algebraic ideas. LRT is a tool to study systems that are driven out of equilibrium by external perturbations. In particular the reader is provided with a new and robust tool to implement LRT for a wide array of systems. The proposed formalism in fact applies to periodic and random systems ... Read more
