| Title | The Structure of Ionic Liquids |
| Author(s) | Caminiti, Ruggero;Gontrani, Lorenzo |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2014. |
| Description | XI, 193 p. 92 illus., 30 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This volume describes the most recent findings on the structure of ILs interpreted through cutting-edge experimental and theoretical methods. Research in the field of ionic liquids (ILs) keeps a fast and steady pace. Since these new-generation molten salts first appeared in the chemistry and physics landscape, a large number of new compounds has been synthesized. Most of them??display unexpected behaviour and possess stunning properties. The coverage in this book ranges from the mesoscopic structure of ILs to their interaction with proteins. The reader will learn how diffraction techniques (small and large angle X-Ray and neutron scattering, powder methods), X-Ray absorption spectroscopies (EXAFS/XANES), optical methods (IR, RAMAN), NMR and calorimetric methods can help the study of ILs, both as neat liquids and in??mixtures with other compounds. It will enable the reader to choose the best method to suit their experimental needs. A detailed survey of theoretical methods, both quantum-chemical and classical, and of their predictive power will accompany the exposition of experimental ones. This book is a must read for postgraduate students, for post-docs, and for researchers who are interested in understanding the structural properties of ILs |

| Title | Return to the Far Side of Planet Moore! : Rambling Through Observations, Friendships and Antics of Sir Patrick Moore |
| Author(s) | Mobberley, Martin |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2015. |
| Description | XIV, 419 p. 201 illus., 116 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The result of an exhaustive study of Sir Patrick Moore???s observations of the Moon and planets for more than 60 years, this book is a fantastic companion to the extremely popular, ???It Came From Outer Space Wearing an RAF Blazer!??? written by the same author.?? Moore recorded his telescopic observations in his logbooks, which are reproduced and described here in detail, along with his sketches and notes. In this light, the author discusses the factors that caused Moore to switch from lunar observing to planetary and variable star observing.?? He has also included personal recollections and humorous anecdotes from Moore???s friends and acquaintances, as well as a look at his best loved books. Further chapters describe Moore???s foreign travels and correspondence with those back home. Lastly, the author has not neglected a few of Moore???s most memorable television and radio appearances, which are examined along with a close up of what it was like to visit Moore???s beloved home of Farthings in Selsey. Essentially, this is a book written by popular demand from the readers of the author???s original biography, who craved more of Moore! |

| Title | The Beginning and the End : The Meaning of Life in a Cosmological Perspective |
| Author(s) | Vidal, Cl??ment |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2014. |
| Description | XXXIV, 379 p. 42 illus., 23 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | In this fascinating journey to the edge of science, Vidal takes on big philosophical questions: Does our universe have a beginning and an end, or is it cyclic? Are we alone in the universe? What is the role of intelligent life, if any, in cosmic evolution? Grounded in science and committed to philosophical rigor, this book presents an evolutionary worldview where the rise of intelligent life is not an accident, but may well be the key to unlocking the universe's deepest mysteries. Vidal shows how the fine-tuning controversy can be advanced with computer simulations. He also explores whether natural or artificial selection could hold on a cosmic scale. In perhaps his boldest hypothesis, he argues that signs of advanced extraterrestrial civilizations are already present in our astrophysical data. His conclusions invite us to see the meaning of life, evolution, and intelligence from a novel cosmological framework that should stir debate for years to come |

| Title | Ultrafast Dynamics of Phospholipid-Water Interfaces : Studied by Nonlinear Time-Resolved Vibrational Spectroscopy |
| Author(s) | Costard, Ren?? |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2015. |
| Description | X, 103 p. 42 illus., 6 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This thesis presents a highly innovative study of the ultrafast structural and vibrational dynamics of hydrated phospholipids, the basic constituents of cell membranes. As a novel approach to the water-phospholipid interface, the author studies phosphate vibrations using the most advanced methods of nonlinear vibrational spectroscopy, including femtosecond two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy. He shows for the first time that the structure of interfacial water undergoes very limited fluctuations on a 300 fs time scale and that the lifetimes of hydrogen bonds with the phospholipid are typically longer than 10 ps. Such properties originate from the steric hindrance of water fluctuations at the interface and the orienting action of strong electric fields from the phospholipid head group dipoles. In an extensive series of additional experiments, the vibrational lifetimes of the different vibrations and the processes of energy dissipation are elucidated in detail |

| Title | Structure Determination of HIV-1 Tat/Fluid Phase Membranes and DMPC Ripple Phase Using X-Ray Scattering |
| Author(s) | Akabori, Kiyotaka |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2015. |
| Description | XX, 168 p. 114 illus., 89 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This Thesis in biological physics has two components, describing??the use of X-ray scattering techniques??to study the structure of two different stacked lipid membrane systems.?? The first part focuses on the interaction between a short 11-mer peptide, Tat, which is part of the Tat protein in the HIV-1 virus.?? Although highly positively charged, the Tat protein has been shown to translocate through hydrocarbon lipid bilayers easily, without requiring the cell???s energy, which is counter to its Born self-energy.?? In this work Tat???s location in the headgroup region was demonstrated using a combined X-ray scattering and molecular dynamics approach.?? Bilayer thinning was observed as well as softening of different membrane mimics due to Tat.?? It was concluded that Tat???s headgroup location, which increases the area/lipid, and its bilayer softening likely reduce the energy barrier for passive translocation. The second part is a rigorous investigation of an enigmatic phase in the phase diagram of the lipid dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC).?? The ripple phase has fascinated many researchers in condensed matter physics and physical chemistry as an example of periodically modulated phases, with many theoretical and simulation papers published.?? Despite systematic studies over the past three decades, molecular details of the structure were still lacking.?? By obtaining the highest resolution X-ray data so far, this work revealed the complex nature of the chain packing, as well as confirming that the major side is thicker than the minor side of the saw-tooth ripple structure.?? The new model shows that the chains in the major arm are tilted with respect to the bilayer normal and that the chains in the minor arm are slightly more disordered than all-trans gel-phase chains, i.e., the chains in the minor arm are more fluid-like.?? This work provides the highest resolution X-ray structure of the ripple phase to-date |

| Title | Simulation of Optical Soliton Control in Micro- and Nanoring Resonator Systems |
| Author(s) | Daud, Suzairi;Idrus, Sevia Mahdaliza;Ali, Jalil |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2015. |
| Description | XIII, 100 p. 38 illus., 28 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book introduces optical soliton control in micro- and nanoring resonator systems. It describes how the ring resonator systems can be optimized as optical tweezers for photodetection by controlling the input power, ring radii and coupling coefficients of the systems. Numerous arrangements and configurations of micro and nanoring resonator systems are explained. The analytical formulation and optical transfer function for each model and the interaction of the optical signals in the systems are discussed. This book shows that the models designed are able to control the dynamical behaviour of generated signals |

| Title | The Thermoballistic Transport Model : A Novel Approach to Charge Carrier Transport in Semiconductors |
| Author(s) | Lipperheide, Reinhard;Wille, Uwe |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2014. |
| Description | XI, 150 p. 7 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The book presents a comprehensive survey of the thermoballistic approach to charge carrier transport in semiconductors. This semi-classical approach, which the authors have developed over the past decade, bridges the gap between the opposing drift-diffusion and ballistic?? models of carrier transport. While incorporating basic features of the latter two models, the physical concept underlying the thermoballistic approach constitutes a novel, unifying scheme. It is based on the introduction of "ballistic configurations" arising from a random partitioning of the length of a semiconducting sample into ballistic transport intervals. Stochastic averaging of the ballistic carrier currents over the ballistic configurations results in a position-dependent thermoballistic current, which is the key element of the thermoballistic concept and forms?? the point of departure for the calculation of all relevant transport properties. In the book, the thermoballistic concept and its implementation are developed in great detail, and specific examples of interest to current research in semiconductor physics??and spintronics are worked out |

| Title | Non-minimal Higgs Inflation and Frame Dependence in Cosmology |
| Author(s) | Steinwachs, Christian Friedrich |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2014. |
| Description | XVI, 279 p. 41 illus., 21 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This thesis explores the idea that the Higgs boson of the Standard Model and the cosmological inflaton are just two manifestations of one and the same scalar field - the Higgs-inflaton. By this unification two energy scales that are separated by many orders of magnitude are connected, thereby building a bridge between particle physics and cosmology. An essential ingredient for making this model consistent with observational data is a strong non-minimal coupling to gravity. Predictions for the value of the Higgs mass as well as for cosmological parameters are derived, and can be tested by future experiments. The results become especially exciting in the light of the recently announced discovery of the Higgs boson. The model of non-minimal Higgs inflation is also used in a quantum cosmological context to predict initial conditions for inflation. These results can in turn be tested by the detection of primordial gravitational waves. The??presentation includes??all introductory material about cosmology and the Standard Model that is essential for??the further understanding. It also provides an introduction to the mathematical methods used to calculate the effective action by heat kernel methods |
