Condensed matter physics is the field of physics that deals with the macroscopic and microscopic physical properties of matter. In particular, it i...

Flowing matter is all around us, from daily-life vital processes (breathing, blood circulation), to industrial, environmental, biological, and medi...

This book is focused on the spintronic properties of IIIV nitride semiconductors. Particular attention is paid to the comparison between zinc blend...

Microcavities are semiconductor, metal, or dielectric structures providing optical confinement in one, two or three dimensions. At the end of the 2...

Ultrafast science has long been limited to the investigation of molecular processes. Over the past 10 years investigation of ultrafast processes ha...

This book is written to introduce experimental magnetism in a comprehensive manner to advanced undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral students p...

This book provides a semi-quantitative approach to understanding and applications of charge carriers in inorganic and organic opto-electronic and p...

Liquid crystal is a curious phase of matter. It has the ability at once to flow, like water, and to refract, like ice. It was closely observed, if ...
