This is a long-needed general introduction to the physics and chemistry of the liquid-vapor phase transition of metals. Physicists and physical chemists have made great strides understanding the basic principles involved, and engineers have discovered a wide variety of new uses for fluid metals. Yet there has been no book that brings together the latest ideas and findings in the field or that bridges the conceptual gap between the ...

Sir George Porter (Lord Porter of Luddenham) was one of the most highly regarded and well known scientists in Britain. He was appointed Director of the Royal Institution in 1996, awarded a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1967, and was the only Director of the Royal Institution to later become President of the Royal Society (1988?1990). Porter had a marvellous gift for communicating his infectious enthusiasm for science, and as President of the Royal ...

Aristotle's Physics was written in the fourth century BC. For more than two thousand years this book served as the basis of natural philosophy (physics), throughout the Middle Ages and the early modern period, up to the sixteenth century the time of Galileo. In this book, Aristotle explains the main principles of his natural philosophy. The book deals with the subject of motion and its causes, the motion of objects from one place to another, and ...

Alles über Polymere in Lösung: Dieses Buch wendet sich an Fachleute aus der Polymerchemie, Analytik, Werkstoffchemie und Physikochemie. Vorrangig werden die physikalischen Eigenschaften der Polymerlösungen besprochen. ...

Grenzflächenchemie, traditionell und modern: In diesem Buch werden grundlegende Fragen der Adsorption, Desorption und Reaktion zwischen den Adsorbaten ebenso detailliert erläutert wie fortgeschrittene Aspekte, etwa Reaktionen beim Aufwachsen von Substanzen auf Grenzflächen. Den Ausgangspunkt bilden dabei natürlich die elektronischen und geometrischen Eigenschaften der Grenzflächen. Anhand der gelungenen Mischung aus ...

Every chemist should own a copy of this uniquely thorough yet incisive treatment of the basic principles of physical chemistry. Written by three eminent physical chemists, the second edition of this exceptional work is the most lucid and comprehensive physical chemistry reference available.<BR>The authors present the fundamentals of the three major areas of physical chemistry--the microscopic structure of matter, the equilibrium properties ...

This volume bridges two topics of considerable current interest: pattern formation in nonequilibrium phenomena and physics of liquid crystals, both active and diverse areas of research. Because liquid crystals form large-scale and regular patterns under the influence of a variety of applied fields they are fruitful materials to study the spontaneous formation and evolution of ordered and disordered patterns. The chapters, each by a noted ...

Das Forschungsgebiet der Metallcluster ist gegenwärtig relativ abgeschlossen; spektakuläre Durchbrüche sind in der näheren Zukunft nicht zu erwarten. Es bot sich daher an, eine Zusammenfassung der bestehenden Erkenntnisse vorzunehmen, wie sie mit diesem Buch gelungen ist. Behandelt werden sowohl theoretische Grundlagen als auch aktuelle Anwendungen, wobei viel Wert auf die Demonstration des Zusammenhanges zwischen Theorie und ...
