| Title | Laboratory Astrophysics |
| Author(s) | Mu??oz Caro, Guillermo M;Escribano, Rafael |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XII, 237 p. 100 illus., 53 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book focuses on the most recent, relevant, comprehensive and significant aspects in the well-established multidisciplinary field Laboratory Astrophysics. It focuses on astrophysical environments, which include asteroids, comets, the interstellar medium, and circumstellar and circumplanetary regions. Its scope lies between physics and chemistry, since it explores physical properties of the gas, ice, and dust present in those systems, as well as chemical reactions occurring in the gas phase, the bare dust surface, or in the ice bulk and its surface. The book provides adequate material to help interpret the observations, or the computer models of astrophysical environments. It introduces and describes the use of spectroscopic tools for laboratory astrophysics. Each chapter provides the necessary mathematical background to understand the subject, followed by a case study of the corresponding system. This book is mainly addressed to PhD graduates working in this field or observers and modelers searching for information on ice and dust processes |

| Title | Mathematical Modeling of Protein Complexes |
| Author(s) | Koshlan, Tatiana;Kulikov, Kirill |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XIV, 367 p. 65 illus., 48 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book is devoted to the physical and mathematical modeling of the formation of complexes of protein molecules. The models developed show remarkable sensitivity to the amino acid sequences of proteins, which facilitates experimental studies and allows one to reduce the associated costs by reducing the number of measurements required according to the developed criteria. These models make it possible to reach a conclusion about the interactions between different amino acid chains and to identify more stable sites on proteins. The models also take the phosphorylation of amino acid residues into account. At the end of the book, the authors present possible directions of application of their physical and mathematical models in clinical medicine |

| Title | Mathematical Modeling Through Topological Surgery and Applications |
| Author(s) | Antoniou, Stathis |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XVII, 85 p. 37 illus., 27 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Topological surgery is a mathematical technique used for creating new manifolds out of known ones. In this book the authors observe that it also occurs in natural phenomena of all scales: 1-dimensional surgery happens during DNA recombination and when cosmic magnetic lines reconnect; 2-dimensional surgery happens during tornado formation and cell mitosis; and they conjecture that 3-dimensional surgery happens during the formation of black holes from cosmic strings, offering an explanation for the existence of a black hole???s singularity. Inspired by such phenomena, the authors present a new topological model that extends the formal definition to a continuous process caused by local forces. Lastly, they describe an intrinsic connection between topological surgery and a chaotic dynamical system exhibiting a ???hole drilling??? behavior. The authors??? model indicates where to look for the forces causing surgery and what deformations should be observed in the local submanifolds involved. These predictions are significant for the study of phenomena exhibiting surgery and they also open new research directions. This novel study enables readers to gain a better understanding of the topology and dynamics of various natural phenomena, as well as topological surgery itself and serves as a basis for many more insightful observations and new physical implications |

| Title | Photons : The History and Mental Models of Light Quanta |
| Author(s) | Hentschel, Klaus |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XIII, 231 p. 38 illus., 11 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book focuses on the gradual formation of the concept of ???light quanta??? or ???photons???, as they have usually been called in English since 1926. The great number of synonyms that have been used by physicists to denote this concept indicates that there are many different mental models of what ???light quanta??? are: simply finite, ???quantized packages of energy??? or ???bullets of light???? ???Atoms of light??? or ???molecules of light???? ???Light corpuscles??? or ???quantized waves???? Singularities of the field or spatially extended structures able to interfere? ???Photons??? in G.N. Lewis???s sense, or as defined by QED, i.e. virtual exchange particles transmitting the electromagnetic force? The term ???light quantum??? made its first appearance in Albert Einstein???s 1905 paper on a ???heuristic point of view??? to cope with the photoelectric effect and other forms of interaction of light and matter, but the mental model associated with it has a rich history both before and after 1905. Some of its semantic layers go as far back as Newton and Kepler, some are only fully expressed several decades later, while others initially increased in importance then diminished and finally vanished. In conjunction with these various terms, several mental models of light quanta were developed???six of them are explored more closely in this book. It discusses two historiographic approaches to the problem of concept formation: (a) the author???s own model of conceptual development as a series of semantic accretions and (b) Mark Turner???s model of ???conceptual blending???. Both of these models are shown to be useful and should be explored further. This is the first historiographically sophisticated history of the fully fledged concept and all of its twelve semantic layers. It systematically combines the history of science with the history of terms and a philosophically inspired history of ideas in conjunction with insights from cognitive science |

| Title | Topological Quantum Matter : A Field Theoretical Perspective |
| Author(s) | Klein Kvorning, Thomas |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | X, 81 p. 24 illus., 6 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book offers a theoretical description of topological matter in terms of effective field theories, and in particular topological field theories, focusing on two main topics: topological superconductors and topological insulators. Even though there is vast literature on these subjects, the book fills an important gap by providing a concise introduction to both topological order and symmetry-protected phases using a modern mathematical language, and developing the theoretical concepts by highlighting the physics and the physical properties of the systems. Further, it discusses in detail the topological interactions for topologically ordered matter, and the response to smooth external fields for symmetry protected matter. The book also covers more specialized topics that cannot be found elsewhere. Specifically, the response of superconductors to geometry, including the newly discovered geo-Meissner effect; and a correction to the usual Meissner effect, only present in the topologically interesting chiral superconductors. |

| Title | Beyond ??CDM : Exploring Alternatives to the Standard Cosmological Paradigm |
| Author(s) | Bose, Sownak |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XXXIV, 181 p. 49 illus., 31 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book employs computer simulations of ???artificial??? Universes to investigate the properties of two popular alternatives to the standard candidates for dark matter (DM) and dark energy (DE). It confronts the predictions of theoretical models with observations using a sophisticated semi-analytic model of galaxy formation. Understanding the nature of dark matter (DM) and dark energy (DE) are two of the most central problems in modern cosmology. While their important role in the evolution of the Universe has been well established???namely, that DM serves as the building blocks of galaxies, and that DE accelerates the expansion of the Universe???their true nature remains elusive. In the first half, the authors consider ???sterile neutrino??? DM, motivated by recent claims that these particles may have finally been detected. Using sophisticated models of galaxy formation, the authors find that future observations of the high redshift Universe and faint dwarf galaxies in the Local Group can place strong constraints on the sterile neutrino scenario. In the second half, the authors propose and test novel numerical algorithms for simulating Universes with a ???modified??? theory of gravity, as an alternative explanation to accelerated expansion. The authors??? techniques improve the efficiency of these simulations by more than a factor of 20 compared to previous methods, inviting the readers into a new era for precision cosmological tests of gravity |

| Title | Advanced Undergraduate Quantum Mechanics : Methods and Applications |
| Author(s) | Deych, Lev I |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XIX, 610 p. 50 illus., 26 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This introduction to quantum mechanics is intended for undergraduate students of physics, chemistry, and engineering with some previous exposure to quantum ideas. Following in Heisenberg???s and Dirac???s footsteps, this book is centered on the concept of the quantum state as an embodiment of all experimentally available information about a system, and its representation as a vector in an abstract Hilbert space. This conceptual framework and formalism are introduced immediately, and developed throughout the first four chapters, while the standard Schr??dinger equation does not appear until Chapter 5. The book grew out of lecture notes developed by the author over fifteen years of teaching at the undergraduate level. In response to numerous requests by students, material is presented with an unprecedented level of detail in both derivation of technical results and discussion of their physical significance.?? The book is written for students to enjoy reading it, rather than to use only as a source of formulas and examples. The colloquial and personal writing style makes it easier for readers to connect with the material. Additionally, readers will find short, relatable snippets about the ???founding fathers??? of quantum theory, their difficult historical circumstances, personal failings and triumphs, and often tragic fate. This textbook, complete with extensive original end-of-chapter exercises, is recommended for use in one- or two-semester courses for upper level undergraduate and beginning graduate students in physics, chemistry, or engineering |

| Title | III-Nitride Based Light Emitting Diodes and Applications |
| Author(s) | Seong, Tae-Yeon;Han, Jung;Amano, Hiroshi;Morko??, Hadis |
| Publication | Singapore, Springer Singapore, 2017. |
| Description | XI, 495 p. 367 illus., 280 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The revised edition of this important book presents updated and expanded coverage of light emitting diodes (LEDs) based on heteroepitaxial GaN on Si substrates, and includes new chapters on tunnel junction LEDs, green/yellow LEDs, and ultraviolet LEDs. Over the last two decades, significant progress has been made in the growth, doping and processing technologies of III-nitride based semiconductors, leading to considerable expectations for nitride semiconductors across a wide range of applications. LEDs are already used in traffic signals, signage lighting, and automotive applications, with the ultimate goal of the global replacement of traditional incandescent and fluorescent lamps, thus reducing energy consumption and cutting down on carbon-dioxide emission. However, some critical issues must be addressed to allow the further improvements required for the large-scale realization of solid-state lighting, and this book aims to provide the readers with details of some contemporary issues on which the performance of LEDs is seriously dependent. Most importantly, it describes why there must be a breakthrough in the growth of high-quality nitride semiconductor epitaxial layers with a low density of dislocations, in particular, in the growth of Al-rich and In-rich GaN-based semiconductors. The quality of materials is directly dependent on the substrates used, such as sapphire and Si, and the book discusses these as well as topics such as efficiency droop, growth in different orientations, polarization, and chip processing and packaging technologies. Offering an overview of the state of the art in III-Nitride LED science and technology, the book will be a core reference for researchers and engineers involved with the developments of solid state lighting, and required reading for students entering the field |

| Title | From the Realm of the Nebulae to Populations of Galaxies : Dialogues on a Century of Research |
| Author(s) | D'Onofrio, Mauro;Rampazzo, Roberto;Zaggia, Simone |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2016. |
| Description | XXIX, 785 p. 122 illus., 69 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | In order to outline possible future directions in galaxy research, this book wants to be a short stopover, a moment of self-reflection of the past century of achievements in this area. Since the pioneering years of galaxy research in the early 20th century, the research on galaxies has seen a relentless advance directly connected to the parallel exponential growth of new technologies.?? Through a series of interviews with distinguished astronomers the editors provide a snapshot of the achievements obtained in understanding galaxies. While many initial questions about their nature have been addressed, many are still open and require new efforts to achieve a solution. The discussions may reveal paradigms worthwhile revisiting. With the help of some of those scientists who have contributed to it, the editors sketch the history of this scientific journey and ask them for inspirations for future directions of galaxy research |
