It also illustrates the application of these various approaches to experimentally relevantproblems. In spite of familiarity with the involved phenomena, it is still not possible to accurately calculate nucleation rate, as t he properties of thedaughter phase are insufficiently known. Existing theories based upon the classical nucleation theory have on the whole explained the trends in behavior correctly. However, they often fail spectacularly to account for new data, inparti cular in the case of binary or, more generally, multi-component nucleation. This book challenges such classical models and provides a more satisfactory description by using density functional theory and microscopic computersimulations to describe the prop erties of small clusters. Also, semi-phenomenological models are proposed that relate the properties of small clusters to known properties of the bulk phases. This monograph is anintroduction as well as a compendium to researchers in the areas of soft con densed matter physics, chemical physics, graduate and post-graduate students in physics and chemistry starting on research in the area of nucleation, and toexperimentalists wishing to gain a better understanding of the recent developments being made to ac count for their data Note: Springer eBooks Contents: Thermodynamics of a two phase system Classical nucleation theory Nucleation theorems Density functional theory Extended modified drop model and dynamic nucleation theory Semi phenomenological approach: mean field kinetic nucleation theory Computer simulations of nucleation Nucleation at high supersaturations Argon nucleation Binary nucleation General case Binary nucleation with supercritical fluids: coarse grained nucleation theory Multi component nucleation Hetrogeneous nucleation ISBN: 9789048136438 Series: e-books Series: SpringerLink (Online service) Series: Lecture Notes in Physics, 0075-8450 : v860 Series: Physics and Astronomy (Springer-11651) Keywords: Chemistry, Physical organic Availability: Click here to see Library holdings or inquire at Circ Desk (x3401) Click to reserve this book Be sure to include your ID please.

Physics of Ultra-Cold Matter gives an overview of thisrecent area of science, w ith a discussion of its main results and a description of its theoretical concepts and methods. Ultra-cold matter can be considered in three distinct phases: ultra-cold gas, Bose Einstein condensate, andRydberg plasmas. This book gives an integrated view of this new area of science at the frontier between atomic physics, condensed matter, and plasma physics. It describes these three distinct phases while exploring the differences, aswell as the sometimes unexpected similarities, of their respective theore tical methods. This book is an informative guide for researchers, and the benefits are a result from an integrated view of a very broad area of research, which islimited in previous books about this subject. The main unifying tool explored in this book is the wave kinetic theory based on Wigner functions. Other theoretical approaches, eventually more familiar to the reader, are also given forextension and comparison. The book considers laser cooling techniques, atom-atom interactions, and focuses on the e lementary excitations and collective oscillations in atomic clouds, Bose-Einstein condensates, and Rydberg plasmas.Linear and nonlinear processes are considered, including Landau damping, soliton excitation and vortices.

The present book is a rigorousand detailed introducti on to the foundations up to and including such advanced topics as orbital-dependent functionals and both time-dependent and relativistic DFT. Given the many ramifications of contemporary DFT, this textconcentrates on the self-contained presentation of the basics of the most widely used DFT variants. This implies a thorough discussion of the corresponding existence theorems and effective single particle equations, as well as of keyapproximations utilized in implementations. The formal results are complemen ted by selected quantitative results, which primarily aim at illustrating strengths and weaknesses of a particular approach or functional. DFT forsuperconducting or nuclear and hadronic systems are not addressed in this work. The structure and material co ntained in this book allow for a tutorial and modular self-study approach: the reader will find that all concepts of many-bodytheory which are indispensable for the discussion of DFT - such as the single-particle Greens function or response functions - ar e introduced step by step, rather than just used. The same applies to some basic notions of solid statetheory, as, for instance, the Fermi surface. Also, the language of second quantization is introduced systematically in an Appendix for readers without a formal theoretical physics background Note: Springer eBooks Contents: Introduction Foundations of Density Functional Theory: Existence Theorems Effective Single Particle Equations Exchange Correlation Energy Functional Virial Theorems Orbital Functionals: Optimized Potential Method Time Dependent Density Functional Theory Relativistic Density Functional Theory Further Reading Appendices: Functionals and the Functional Derivative Second Quantization in Many Body Theory Scaling Behavior of Many Body Methods Explicit Density Functionals for the Kinetic Energy: Thomas Fermi Models and Beyond Asymptotic Behavior of Quasi Particl ISBN: 9783642140907 Series: e-books Series: SpringerLink (Online service) Series: Theoretical and Mathematical Physics, 1864-5879 Series: Physics and Astronomy (Springer-11651) Keywords: Chemistry , Materials Availability: Click here to see Library holdings or inquire at Circ Desk (x3401) Click to reserve this book Be sure to include your ID please.

The condensation energy interaction known for normalprecipitates or grain b oundaries and the kinetic energy interaction proposed for artificial Nb pins in Nb-Ti, etc., are introduced for the pinning mechanism. Summation theories to derive the critical current density are discussed indetail. Irreversible magnetization and AC loss caused by the flux pinning are also discussed. The loss originally stems from the ohmic dissipation of normal electrons in the normal core driven by the electric field induced by the fluxmotion. The readers will learn why the resultant loss is of hystere sis type in spite of such mechanism. The influence of the flux pinning on the vortex phase diagram in high Tc superconductors is discussed, and the dependencies of theirreversibility field are also described on other quantities such as anisotropy of super conductor, specimen size and electric field strength. Recent developments of critical current properties in various high-Tc superconductors andMgB2 are introduced. Other topics are: singularity in the case of transport current in a parallel magnetic field such as deviation from the Josephson relation, reversible flux motion inside pinning potentials which causes deviationfrom the critical state model prediction, the concept of the minimization of energy dissipation in the flux pinning phenomena which give s the basis for the critical state model, etc. Significant reduction in the AC loss in AC wireswith very fine filaments originates from the reversible flux motion which is dominant in the two-dimensional pinning. The concept of minimum energy dissipation explains also the behavior of flux bundle size which determines theirreversibility line under the flux creep Note: Springer eBooks Contents: Introduction Fundamental Electromagnetic Phenomena in Superconductors Various Electromagnetic Phenomena Longitudinal Magnetic Field Effect Measurement Methods for Critical Current Density Flux Pinning Mechanism Flux Pinning Characteristics High Temperature Superconductors MgB2 A1 Description of Equilibrium State A2 Magnetic Properties of a Small Superconductor A3 Minimization of Energy Dissipation A4 Partition of Pinning Energy A5 Comments on the Nonlocal Theory on the Elasticity of the Flux Line Lattice A6 Avalanching Flux Flow Model A7 Josephson P ISBN: 9783540445159 Series: e-books Series: SpringerLink (Online service) Series: Physics and Astronomy (Springer-11651) Keywords: Condensed matter , Superconductivity Availability: Click here to see Library holdings or inquire at Circ Desk (x3401) Click to reserve this book Be sure to include your ID please.

Specifically, it deals with modeling and simulations of biological systemscomprised of large populations of interactingcellswhose dynamics follow the rules of mechanics as well as rules governed by their own ability to organize movement and biological functions. The authors propose a new biological model for the analysis of competition between cellsof an aggressive host and cells of a correspondin g immune system. Because the microscopic description of a biological system is far more complex than that of a physical system of inert matter, a higher level of analysis is needed todeal with such complexity. Mathematical models using kinetic theory may represent a way to deal with such complexity, allowing for an understanding of phenomena of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics not described by the traditionalmacroscopic approach. The proposed models are related to the generalized Boltzmann equation an d describe the population dynamics of several interacting elements (kinetic population models). The particular models proposed by the authorsare based on a framework related to a system of integro-differential equations, defining the evolution of the dist ribution function over the microscopic state of each element in a given system. Macroscopic information on the behaviorof the system is obtained from suitable moments of the distribution function over the microscopic states of the elements involved. The b ook follows a classical research approach applied to modeling real systems, linking the observationof biological phenomena, collection of experimental data, modeling, and computational simulations to validate the proposed models. Qualitative analysis tech niques are used to identify the prediction ability of specific models. The bookwill be a valuable resource for applied mathematicians as well as researchers in the field of biological sciences.

For the physics of polymeric liquids, whose relevant lengths and time scales are out of reach for first principles calculations, this means that we have to choose a minimumset of sufficiently de tailed descriptors such as architecture (linear, ring, branched), connectivity, semiflexibility, stretchability, excluded volume, and hydrodynamic interaction. These 'universal' fluids allow the prediction ofmaterial properties under external flow- or ele ctrodynamic fields, the results being expressed in terms of reference units, specific for any particular chosen material. This book provides an introduction to the kinetic theory andcomputer simulation methods needed to handle these models and to interpre t the results.
