    • Inglés
    Manuela Mura and Fabien Paillusson’s An Introduction to Electromagnetism is an accessible undergraduate text on the subject, incorporating elements of electromagnetism and electrodynamics, thoroughly delving into foundational concepts while highlighting important lessons. The book opens with an introductory section on exterior calculus and its applications in electromagnetism, which introduces increasingly popular mathematical tools at the heart of most vector calculus theorems. The book delves into detailed sections on electrostatics and magnetostatics satisfying Curie’s principle and exploring how to use symmetry plane(s) of the charge and current distributions to facilitate problem-solving; explains Earnshaw’s electrostatic and magnetostatic instability theorems; and dedicates a section to the Bohr-van Leewen theorem on the impossibility of a non-zero classical magnetic susceptibility. The book further makes the case that electromagnetism can be more naturally expressed in terms of differential forms, and overall aims to make this novel geometric approach more accessible to a wider audience. An Introduction to Electromagnetism dives into fundamental topics in electromagnetism, based on the authors’ own teaching experience with this material in dedicated courses for undergraduate Physics students. The book has a unique and specialized focus on topics such as a discussion on the incompleteness of Maxwell’s equations; a dissection of Purcell’s thought experiment on the magnetic force from a current-carrying wire onto a free charge; and a review of the interpretation of dipole and multipole moments and how their properties contribute to the electric and magnetic phenomena. This helpful first edition delivers detailed explanations, illustrative examples, and beneficial in-text exercises and solutions to discuss the role and importance of electromagnetism, and is ideal for courses in physics, physical sciences, and related fields.

  • Unveiling the Atom and Its Nucleus

    Discoveries, Insights, and Understanding
    • 1 Edición
    • Michael F. L'Annunziata
    • Inglés
    Unveiling the Atom and Its Nucleus: Discoveries, Insights, and Understanding explores how chemists and physicists have used scientific principles and experimentation to unveil the structure of the atom, factors governing nuclear stability and decay, modes of nuclear decay, and how the components of the atom interrelate to govern nuclear stability or predict its instability. Examples are featured, showing how discoveries (some considered insignificant at the time) have led to remarkable findings and resulted in our knowledge of the concepts and properties of the atom, such as Oliphant’s discovery of nuclear fusion, Bethe’s energy production in stars, and consequent current fusion energy development.The book also provides a summary of current advances in vital applications of atomic energy, such as current applications in nuclear medicine, including positron emission tomography, hadron therapy, targeted hadron therapy and radioactive nanoparticles in cancer therapy, stable and radioactive nuclides in research to enhance agricultural production, food preservation, and applied nuclear fusion. It concludes by looking at the status of international treaties and efforts to control nuclear weapon proliferation and nuclear war.

  • Phoretic Motions of Liquid Droplets

    A Theoretical Analysis
    • 1 Edición
    • Eric Lee
    • Inglés
    Phoretic Motions of Liquid Droplets: A Theoretical Analysis provides a detailed description of the fundamentals of the electrostatics and electrokinetics of various kinds of droplets: dielectric droplets, conducting droplets such as liquid metal droplets, polymeric liquid droplets and the implications they have for their broad practical applications. It is crucial to fully understand the underlying electrokinetic mechanisms before any meaningful practical applications of liquid droplets can be launched successfully.This is the first book to directly address phoretic motion of droplets; previously there has only been brief mention in texts mostly about solid particles, on which there is much more literature. Droplets of different kinds have different applications in practice. For instance, conducting droplets like liquid metal droplets have an inherent advantage in drug delivery over liposomes of dielectric droplets in terms of chemiphoresis, although both are widely used in drug delivery and micro/nanofluidic operations, among other practical applications. The book provides insights and guidelines for design engineers in drug delivery even in the fabrication stage of the droplets carrying therapeutic chemicals. Moreover, it is helpful in analyzing data for experimental researchers as well. For instance, a droplet filled with dielectric materials may not behave electrokinetically like a dielectric droplet under certain circumstances in practice, as might be expected by experimentalists.Pho... Motions of Liquid Droplets is written for researchers, industry engineers, and graduate and postdoc students in the field of colloidal and interface science and technology who are working on colloidal physics aspects and focused on electrokinetics, primarily from a chemical engineering, biomedical and biochemical engineering background.

  • An Introduction to Quantum Physics

    • Inglés
    An Introduction to Quantum Physics: From Schrodinger's Equation to Quantum Computing focuses on the Schrodinger equation and its application to the hydrogen atom while also exploring other idealized but important quantum mechanical problems, such as the infinite square well and the harmonic oscillator to build students’ physical intuition. The text assumes only calculus-based introductory physics, but helps students understand the origin of the periodic table and the electronic structure of atoms in a deeper way. In addition, it enables users to make connections with concepts in linear algebra, a course that many students have recently taken or may be taking concurrently.For a student’s first exposure to quantum mechanics, the book offers a unique concentration on locality, entanglement, Bell’s theorem, and quantum gates. This valuable first edition delivers engaging explanations and illustrative examples for both classic problems solved by quantum mechanics and new ones that form the basis for quantum computing.
