  • Semiconductors and the Information Revolution

    Magic Crystals that made IT Happen

    by John W. Orton ...
    Semiconductors and the Information Revolution sets out to explain the development of modern electronic systems and devices from the viewpoint of the semiconductor materials (germanium, silicon, gallium arsenide and many others) which made them possible. It covers the scientific understanding of these materials and its intimate relationship with their technology and many applications. It began with ... Read more

  • Many-Body Schrödinger Dynamics of Bose-Einstein Condensates

    by Kaspar Sakmann ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    At extremely low temperatures, clouds of bosonic atoms form what is known as a Bose-Einstein condensate. Recently, it has become clear that many different types of condensates -- so called fragmented condensates -- exist. In order to tell whether fragmentation occurs or not, it is necessary to solve the full many-body Schrödinger equation, a task that remained elusive for experimentally relevant ... Read more

  • III-Nitride Based Light Emitting Diodes and Applications

    Edited by Jung Han, Hiroshi Amano, Hadis Morkoc, Tae-Yeon Seong ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Light emitting diodes (LEDs) are already used in traffic signals, signage lighting, and automotive applications. However, its ultimate goal is to replace traditional illumination through LED lamps since LED lighting significantly reduces energy consumption and cuts down on carbon-dioxide emission. Despite dramatic advances in LED technologies (e.g., growth, doping and processing technologies), ... Read more

  • Modern Theories of Many-Particle Systems in Condensed Matter Physics

    Edited by Daniel C. Cabra, Andreas Honecker, Pierre Pujol ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Condensed matter systems where interactions are strong are inherently difficult to analyze theoretically. The situation is particularly interesting in low-dimensional systems, where quantum fluctuations play a crucial role. Here, the development of non-perturbative methods and the study of integrable field theory have facilitated the understanding of the behavior of many quasi one- and two ... Read more

  • Out of this World

    Colliding Universes, Branes, Strings, and Other Wild Ideas of Modern Physics

    by Stephen Webb ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book is an attempt to share some of the fascinating and exciting ideas of modern theoretical physics with a non-mathematical audience. I also hope to give some appreciation of the exceptionally creative people who have generated these ideas. I had no intention of writing a comprehen sive history of these ideas, however; I apologize to those physicists whose important contributions I may have ... Read more

  • Non-Universal Superconducting Gap Structure in Iron-Pnictides Revealed by Magnetic Penetration Depth Measurements

    by Kenichiro Hashimoto ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    In this book the author presents two important findings revealed by high-precision magnetic penetration depth measurements in iron-based superconductors which exhibit high-transition temperature superconductivity up to 55 K: one is the fact that the superconducting gap structure in iron-based superconductors depends on a detailed electronic structure of individual materials, and the other is the ...

  • Charge and Heat Transport Phenomena in Electronic and Spin Structures in B20-type Compounds

    by Naoya Kanazawa ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This thesis presents systematic experimental research on chiral-lattice crystals referred to as B20-type germanium compounds, especially focusing on skyrmion spin textures and Dirac electrons. An emergent electromagnetic field observed in MnGe demonstrates a formation of three-dimensional skyrmion crystals. Detection of skyrmions in nanoscale Hall bar devices made of FeGe is realized by measuring ... Read more

  • Nano-photonics in III-V Semiconductors for Integrated Quantum Optical Circuits

    by Nicholas Andrew Wasley ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This thesis breaks new ground in the physics of photonic circuits for quantum optical applications. The photonic circuits are based either on ridge waveguides or photonic crystals, with embedded quantum dots providing the single qubit, quantum optical emitters. The highlight of the thesis is the first demonstration of a spin-photon interface using an all-waveguide geometry, a vital component of a ... Read more

  • Quantum Theory of Many-Body Systems

    Techniques and Applications

    by Alexandre Zagoskin ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This text presents a self-contained treatment of the physics of many-body systems from the point of view of condensed matter. The approach, quite traditionally, uses the mathematical formalism of quasiparticles and Green’s functions. In particular, it covers all the important diagram techniques for normal and superconducting systems, including the zero-temperature perturbation theory and the ... Read more
