| Title | Theoretical and Experimental Studies on Novel High-Gain Seeded Free-Electron Laser Schemes |
| Author(s) | Feng, Chao |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2016. |
| Description | XII, 108 p. 87 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This dissertation focuses on the study of novel high-gain free-electron laser (FEL) operation schemes with external seed lasers. The technique of manipulating the phase space of the electron beam, which is widely used in novel seeded FEL schemes, is systematically studied. Several novel FEL schemes are proposed for the generation of intense coherent FEL pulses with short wavelength, sub-femtosecond pulse length or multiple carrier frequency properties, which meet the needs of FEL users. Results of experiments are described for the recently proposed FEL schemes such as echo-enabled harmonic generation and cascaded high-gain harmonic generation. New photon/electron beam diagnostic methods are also developed for these experiments and future high-gain FEL facilities |

| Title | Decoding the Mechanisms of Antikythera Astronomical Device |
| Author(s) | Lin, Jian-Liang;Yan, Hong-Sen |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2016. |
| Description | X, 281 p. 172 illus., 141 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book presents a systematic design methodology for decoding the interior structure of the Antikythera mechanism, an astronomical device from ancient Greece. The historical background, surviving evidence and reconstructions of the mechanism are introduced, and the historical development of astronomical achievements and various astronomical instruments are investigated. Pursuing an approach based on the conceptual design of modern mechanisms and bearing in mind the standards of science and technology at the time, all feasible designs of the six lost/incomplete/unclear subsystems are synthesized as illustrated examples, and 48 feasible designs of the complete interior structure are presented. This approach provides not only a logical tool for applying modern mechanical engineering knowledge to the reconstruction of the Antikythera mechanism, but also an innovative research direction for identifying the original structures of the mechanism in the future. In short, the book offers valuable new insights for all readers who are interested in the Antikythera mechanism |

| Title | Electrodynamics : An Intensive Course |
| Author(s) | Chaichian, Masud;Merches, Ioan;Radu, Daniel;Tureanu, Anca |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2016. |
| Description | XVII, 669 p. 140 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book is devoted to the fundamentals of classical electrodynamics, one of the most beautiful and productive theories in physics. A general survey on the applicability of physical theories shows that only few theories can be compared to electrodynamics. Essentially, all electric and electronic devices used around the world are based on the theory of electromagnetism. It was Maxwell who created, for the first time, a unified description of the electric and magnetic phenomena in his electromagnetic field theory. Remarkably, Maxwell???s theory contained in itself also the relativistic invariance of the special relativity, a fact which was discovered only a few decades later. The present book is an outcome of the authors??? teaching experience over many years in different countries and for different students studying diverse fields of physics. The book is intended for students at the level of undergraduate and graduate studies in physics, astronomy, engineering, applied mathematics and for researchers working in related subjects. We hope that the reader will not only acquire knowledge, but will also grasp the beauty of theoretical physics. A set of about 130 solved and proposed problems shall help to attain this aim |

| Title | How Can Physics Underlie the Mind? : Top-Down Causation in the Human Context |
| Author(s) | Ellis, George |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2016. |
| Description | XXVI, 482 p. 36 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Physics underlies all complexity, including our own existence: how is this possible? How can our own lives emerge from interactions of electrons, protons, and neutrons? This book considers the interaction of physical and non-physical causation in complex systems such as living beings, and in particular in the human brain, relating this to the emergence of higher levels of complexity with real causal powers. In particular it explores the idea of top-down causation, which is the key effect allowing the emergence of true complexity and also enables the causal efficacy of non-physical entities, including the value of money, social conventions, and ethical choices |

| Title | The Source/Drain Engineering of Nanoscale Germanium-based MOS Devices |
| Author(s) | Li, Zhiqiang |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2016. |
| Description | XIV, 59 p. 52 illus., 49 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book mainly focuses on reducing the high parasitic resistance in the source/drain of germanium nMOSFET. With adopting of the Implantation After Germanide (IAG) technique, P and Sb co-implantation technique and Multiple Implantation and Multiple Annealing (MIMA) technique, the electron Schottky barrier height of NiGe/Ge contact is modulated to 0.1eV, the thermal stability of NiGe is improved to 600??? and the contact resistivity of metal/n-Ge contact is drastically reduced to 3.8??10???7?????cm2, respectively. Besides, a reduced source/drain parasitic resistance is demonstrated in the fabricated Ge nMOSFET. Readers will find useful information about the source/drain engineering technique for high-performance CMOS devices at future technology node |

| Title | Evolution of Black Holes in Anti-de Sitter Spacetime and the Firewall Controversy |
| Author(s) | Ong, Yen Chin |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2016. |
| Description | XXIV, 222 p. 48 illus., 6 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This thesis focuses on the recent firewall controversy surrounding evaporating black holes, and shows that in the best understood example concerning electrically charged black holes with a flat event horizon in anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime, the firewall does not arise. The firewall, which surrounds a sufficiently old black hole, threatens to develop into a huge crisis since it could occur even when spacetime curvature is small, which contradicts general relativity.?? However, the end state for asymptotically flat black holes is ill-understood since their curvature becomes unbounded. This issue is??avoided??by working with flat charged black holes in AdS. The presence of electrical charge is crucial since black holes inevitably pick up charges throughout their long lifetime. These black holes always evolve toward extremal limit, and are then destroyed by quantum gravitational effects. This happens sooner than the time required to decode Hawking radiation so that the firewall never sets in, as conjectured by Harlow and Hayden.?? Motivated by the information loss paradox,?? the author also investigates the possibility that ???monster??? configurations might exist, with an arbitrarily large interior bounded by a finite surface area. Investigating such an object in AdS shows that in the best understood case, such an object -- much like a firewall -- cannot exist |

| Title | Celestial Mechanics and Astrodynamics: Theory and Practice |
| Author(s) | Gurfil, Pini;Seidelmann, P. Kenneth |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2016. |
| Description | XXXVII, 522 p. 138 illus., 45 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This volume is designed as an introductory text and reference book for graduate students, researchers and practitioners in the fields of astronomy, astrodynamics, satellite systems, space sciences and astrophysics. The purpose of the book is to emphasize the similarities between celestial mechanics and astrodynamics, and to present recent advances in these two fields so that the reader can understand the inter-relations and mutual influences. The juxtaposition of celestial mechanics and astrodynamics is a unique approach that is expected to be a refreshing attempt to discuss both the mechanics of space flight and the dynamics of celestial objects. ???Celestial Mechanics and Astrodynamics: Theory and Practice??? also presents the main challenges and future prospects for the two fields in an elaborate, comprehensive and rigorous manner. The book presents homogenous and fluent discussions of the key problems, rendering a portrayal of recent advances in the field together with some basic concepts and essential infrastructure in orbital mechanics. The text contains introductory material followed by a gradual development of ideas interweaved to yield a coherent presentation of advanced topics |

| Title | Solid State Properties : From Bulk to Nano |
| Author(s) | Dresselhaus, Mildred;Dresselhaus, Gene;Cronin, Stephen B;Gomes Souza Filho, Antonio |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2018. |
| Description | XVIII, 517 p. 247 illus., 46 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book fills a gap between many of the basic solid state physics and materials science books that are currently available. It is written for a mixed audience of electrical engineering and applied physics students who have some knowledge of elementary undergraduate quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics. This book, based on a successful course taught at MIT, is divided pedagogically into three parts: (I) Electronic Structure, (II) Transport Properties, and (III) Optical Properties. Each topic is explained in the context of bulk materials and then extended to low-dimensional materials where applicable. Problem sets review the content of each chapter to help students to understand the material described in each of the chapters more deeply and to prepare them to master the next chapters |
