| Title | The Cassini-Huygens Mission : Volume 1: Overview, Objectives and Huygens Instrumentarium |
| Author(s) | Russell, C.T |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 2003. |
| Description | VIII, 640 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The exploration of the planets is the modem counterpart to the exploration voy?? ages of old. To reach the new world Columbus had to secure funding from Queen Isabella, outfit his three ships and set sail on a long journey. To explore the Amer?? ican Pacific Northwest, Lewis and Clark had a similar task of obtaining funding, purchasing equipment and going to points unknown, even though their path was across land and not sea. Today our journey is through space, rather than across land or sea, but we still travel with ships, now spaceworthy craft, rather than seaworthy. Our spacecraft are smaller than the ships of yore, crammed with electronics rather than provisions because man cannot go along on these journeys. We now rely on robots to be our eyes and ears at these distant worlds. Nevertheless, some aspects of exploration have not changed over the centuries. People are still fascinated by these unknown worlds and desire to explore them, and the process of obtaining the large sums of public moneys to finance these journeys still requires much pleading with authorities |

| Title | Quantum Mechanics : From Basic Principles to Numerical Methods and Applications |
| Author(s) | Marchildon, Louis |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2002. |
| Description | XVI, 560 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This advanced text develops first the underlying concepts of quantum mechanics, thus starting with state spaces of finite dimension followed by the representation of coordinates with their principal formal elements, and their applications such as the harmonic oscillator, magnetic momentum, the hydrogen atom, stationary perturbations etc. This fresh and original text on quantum mechanics focuses on: the development of numerical methods for obtaining specific results; the presentation of group theory and the systematic use of operators; the introduction of the functional integral and its applications in approximation; the discussion of distant correlations and experimental measurements. Numerous exercises with hints and solutions, examples and applications, and a guide to key references help the student to work with the text |

| Title | Quantal Density Functional Theory |
| Author(s) | Sahni, Viraht |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2004. |
| Description | XIV, 256 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Quantal density functional theory (Q-DFT) is a new local effective potential energy theory of the electronic structure of matter. It is a description in terms of classical fields that pervade all space, and their quantal sources. The fields, which are explicitly defined, are separately representative of the many-body electron correlations present in such a description, namely, those due to the Pauli exclusion principle, Coulomb repulsion, correlation-kinetic, and correlation-current-density effects. The book further describes Schr??dinger theory from the new perspective of fields and quantal sources. It also explains the physics underlying the functionals and functional derivatives of traditional DFT |

| Title | The Geometric Phase in Quantum Systems : Foundations, Mathematical Concepts, and Applications in Molecular and Condensed Matter Physics |
| Author(s) | Bohm, Arno;Mostafazadeh, Ali;Koizumi, Hiroyasu;Niu, Qian;Zwanziger, Josef |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2003. |
| Description | XXI, 427 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Aimed at graduate physics and chemistry students, this is the first comprehensive monograph covering the concept of the geometric phase in quantum physics from its mathematical foundations to its physical applications and experimental manifestations. It contains all the premises of the adiabatic Berry phase as well as the exact Anandan-Aharonov phase. It discusses quantum systems in a classical time-independent environment (time dependent Hamiltonians) and quantum systems in a changing environment (gauge theory of molecular physics). The mathematical methods used are a combination of differential geometry and the theory of linear operators in Hilbert Space. As a result, the monograph demonstrates how non-trivial gauge theories naturally arise and how the consequences can be experimentally observed. Readers benefit by gaining a deep understanding of the long-ignored gauge theoretic effects of quantum mechanics and how to measure them |

| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2001. |
| Description | XII, 292 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This selection of reviews and papers is intended to stimulate renewed reflection on the fundamental and practical aspects of probability in physics. While putting emphasis on conceptual aspects in the foundations of statistical and quantum mechanics, the book deals with the philosophy of probability in its interrelation with mathematics and physics in general. Addressing graduate students and researchers in physics and mathematics togehter with philosophers of science, the contributions avoid cumbersome technicalities in order to make the book worthwhile reading for nonspecialists and specialists alike |

| Title | Optical Response of Nanostructures : Microscopic Nonlocal Theory |
| Author(s) | Cho, Kikuo |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2003. |
| Description | IX, 174 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book gives a theoretical description of linear and nonlinear optical responses of matter with special emphasis on the microscopic and "nonlocal" nature of resonant response. The response field and induced polarization are determined self-consistently in terms of simultaneous linear or nonlinear polynomial equations. This scheme is a general one with its position between QED and macroscopic response theory, but is most appropriate for determining the dependence of optical signals on the size, shape, and internal structure of a nanostructure sample. As a highlight of the scheme, the multi-resonant enhancement of the DFWM signal is described together with its experimental verification |

| Title | Cosmic Rays and Earth : Proceedings of an ISSI Workshop 21???26 March 1999, Bern, Switzerland |
| Author(s) | Bieber, J.W;Eroshenko, E;Evenson, P;Fl??ckiger, E.O;Kallenbach, R |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 2000. |
| Description | XI, 411 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The year 1998 marked the 50th anniversary of the invention of the neutron monitor, a key research tool in the field of space physics and solar-terrestrial relations. In honor of this occasion a workshop entitled 'Cosmic Rays and Earth' was organized to review the detection of cosmic rays at the surface and in the lower atmosphere of Earth, including the effect that this radiation has on the terrestrial environment. A special focus was the role of neutron monitors in the investigation of this radiation, on the science enabled by the unique dataset of the worldwide network of neutron monitors, and on continuing opportunities to use these data to solve outstanding problems. This book is the principal product of that workshop, integrating the contribu?? tions of all participants. Following a general summary of the workshop prepared by the editors, the volume leads off with a keynote article by Professor John Simpson describing his invention of the neutron monitor in 1948 and the early scientific discoveries made with this instrument |

| Title | M-Theory and Quantum Geometry |
| Author(s) | Thorlacius, L??rus;Jonsson, Thordur |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 2000. |
| Description | XVIII, 454 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The fundamental structure of matter and spacetime at the shortest length scales remains an exciting frontier of basic research in theoretical physics. A unifying theme in this area is the quantization of geometrical objects. The majority of lectures at the Advanced Study Institute on Quantum Ge?? ometry in Akureyri was on recent advances in superstring theory, which is the leading candidate for a unified description of all known elementary par?? ticles and interactions. The geometric concept of one-dimensional extended objects, or strings, has always been at the core of superstring theory but in recent years the focus has shifted to include also higher-dimensional ob?? jects, so called D-branes, which play a key role in the non-perturbative dynamics of the theory. A related development has seen the strong coupling regime of a given string theory identified with the weak coupling regime of what was previ?? ously believed to be a different theory, and a web of such" dualities" that interrelates all known superstring theories has emerged. The resulting uni?? fied theoretical framework, termed M-theory, has evolved at a rapid pace in recent years |

| Author(s) | Jacquot, P;Fournier, J.-M |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2000. |
| Description | XV, 659 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This Proceedings comprises the written counterparts of 80 presentations - invited, contributed and poster - given during an international conference held in Lausanne, Switzerland, September 25 - 28, 2000. It includes, in well-balanced proportions and with equal emphasis on theoretical and applied developments, review works and original research done by leading scientists in the domains of speckle phenomena, speckle photography, holographic interferometry, speckle interferometry, interferometric signals and fringe patterns processing, and commonly related techniques. These domains form the subject of the six chapters of the book. The optical properties of speckle waves strongly influence most of the methods scrutinised and serve as an intrinsic link between the chapters |
