Ufimtsev P.Ya. Fundamentals of the Physical Theory of diffraction

Institute of Physics Publishing Bristol and Philadelphia, 534 pages, 2002. In the course of the development of electromagnetic, weak and strong interactions, the concept of (internal) gauge invariance grew up and established itself as an unavoidable dynamical principle in particle physics. It is less known that the principle of equivalence, and the basic dynamical properties of the gravitational interaction can also be expressed as a (spacetime)...

McGraw-Hill Professional, 2002. - 618 pages. Now anyone with an interest in the physical sciences can master physics -- without formal training or drowning in a sea of complicated formulas and equations. In Physics Demystified best-selling author Stan Gibilisco offers a fun, effective, and totally painless way to learn the fundamentals and general concepts of physics. With Physics Demystified you master the subject one simple step at a time ' a...

Disorder Fields, Phase Transitions, pp. 1–742, Singapore: World Scientific, 1989. Most physical systems follow complicated nonlinear equations. For a small number of degrees of freedom, numerical methods may lead to a satisfactory theoretical understanding. In macroscopic many-body systems, however, this number is immensely large and such an approach is hopeless. The best we can achieve is an approximate understanding of the statistical behavior...

Differential Geometry, Crystal Melting, pp. 743– 1456. Singapore: World Scientific, 1989. This book is the first to develop a unified gauge theory of condensed matter sytems dominated by vortices or defects and their long-range interactions. Gauge fields provide the only means of describing these interactions in terms of local fields, rendering them accessible to standard field theoretic techniques. Two particularly important examples, superflui...

This book provides a critical review of the equilibrium elastic properties of rubber, together with the kinetic-theory background. It is suitable for the non-specialist and the emphasis is on the physical reality embodied in the mathematical formulations. Polymer science had developed greatly since the second edition of this text in 1958, and the two main advances-the refinements of the network theory and associated thermodynamic analysis, and th...

Периодическое издание. Работы по термоэлектричеству и термоэлектрическим материалам представленные на International Conference of Thermoelectrics (ICT'95), Проходившей: Физико-технический институт имени А.Ф.Иоффе, 27-30 июня, Санк-Питербург, Россия, 1995 (AF Ioffe Physical-Technical Institute, june 27-30, St. Petersburg, Russia)

Academic Press, 1 edition, 473 pages, 2004, ISBN-10: 0126058113 Although there are several books in print dealing with elasticity, many focus on specialized topics such as mathematical foundations, anisotropic materials, two-dimensional problems, thermoelasticity, non-linear theory, etc. As such they are not appropriate candidates for a general textbook. This book provides a concise and organized presentation and development of general theory of...

Joseph Henry Press, 1st edition, 406 pages, 1997, 0309063515. What is this business called 'chaos'? What does it deal with? Why do people think it's important? And how did the term 'chaos' - long associated with disorder - come to signify a new paradigm in the orderly realm of mathematics? The concept of chaos is one of the most exciting and rapidly expanding research topics of recent decades. Chaos might underlie many kinds of well-known process...

Oxford University Press. 1995. 298 p. A powerful and relatively new method for extracting detailed crystal structural information from X-ray and neutron powder diffraction data, the Rietveld method attracts a great deal of interest from researchers in physics, chemistry, materials science, and crystallography. Now available in paperback, this book comprises chapters from international researchers on all aspects of this important technique. It wi...
