Horizons in World Physics: Volume 272

This book presents original research results on the leading edge of physics. Each article has been carefully selected in an attempt to present substantial research results across a broad spectrum. Some topics discussed include second harmonic generation in non-linear optics research; pixel detectors in nuclear instruments; the empirical basis of quantum mechanics and the modern perspective, and a review of the Bohr-Sommerfeld semi-classical quantisation rule.
