  • Avalanches in Functional Materials and Geophysics

    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book provides the state-of-the art of the present understanding of avalanche phenomena in both functional materials and geophysics. The main emphasis of the book is analyzing these apparently different problems within the common perspective of out-of-equilibrium phenomena displaying spatial and temporal complexity that occur in a broad range of scales. Many systems, when subjected to an ... Read more

  • Mesoscopic Phenomena in Multifunctional Materials

    Synthesis, Characterization, Modeling and Applications

    Edited by Avadh Saxena, Antoni Planes ...
    Series series Chemistry and Material Science (R0)
    A highly coveted objective of modern materials science is to optimize multiple coupled functionalities in the same single phase material and control the cross-response via multiple external fields. One important example of such multi-functionality are multiferroic materials where two or more ferroic properties are intrinsically coupled. They include, among others, the magneto-electric and magneto ... Read more

  • Chaos

    A Very Short Introduction

    by Leonard Smith ...
    Series series Very Short Introductions
    Chaos exists in systems all around us. Even the simplest system of cause and effect can be subject to chaos, denying us accurate predictions of its behaviour, and sometimes giving rise to astonishing structures of large-scale order. Our growing understanding of Chaos Theory is having fascinating applications in the real world - from technology to global warming, politics, human behaviour, and even ... Read more

  • The Seneca Effect

    Why Growth is Slow but Collapse is Rapid

    by Ugo Bardi ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The essence of this book can be found in a line written by the ancient Roman Stoic Philosopher Lucius Annaeus Seneca: "Fortune is of sluggish growth, but ruin is rapid". This sentence summarizes the features of the phenomenon that we call "collapse," which is typically sudden and often unexpected, like the proverbial "house of cards." But why are such collapses so common, and what generates them? ... Read more
