    Fiber-Optic Distributed Acoustic Sensing: Principles and Applications addresses the fundamentals of fiber optic distributed acoustic sensors (DAS) and their most important application fields. It is divided into three parts, the first of which covers the theoretical aspects of the working principle of DAS technology, including the description of the main optical components used for DAS monitoring, concepts of Rayleigh scattering, and approaches for resolving the spatial information based on optical time-domain and optical frequency-domain reflectometry. The second part focuses on the different interrogation techniques existing today, including dedicated signal processing and other advanced methods for enhancing sensing performance. The third part of the book is devoted to the main industrial applications of DAS technology, such as structural health monitoring, security, geophysical studies and seismic monitoring, including also relevant aspects related to the industrial standardization of the technology. For a reader with a basic background in photonics, the book provides the basis for knowing and understanding distributed acoustic sensing technology and its applications, in a single volume. It is relevant for a broad range of scientists and researchers working in the fields of photonics, sensing, environmental and structural health monitoring, optical communications, and optical fiber systems.

    Encyclopedia of Particle Physics, Four Volume Set will be a brand new, up to date reference work consisting of approximately 180 articles, headed up by an editorial board of world-leading hadron- and particle physicists. It will provide a first point of entry to the literature for all graduate/post-gradua... students and early career-researchers working in and studying physics, especially those with an interest in hadron- and particle physics within the standard model and beyond. It will also be indispensable to all serious readers in the interdisciplinary areas (astrophysics, nuclear physics, particle therapy, accelerator physics) where particle physics is of utility.With a clear and logical template binding all chapters, content will be divided into the following six sections, each of which will contain chapters written by leading scientists who have pursued theoretical tools and methods and/or gathered and evaluated the most important data published within the field: Section 1: General Concepts of Particle Physics. This will provide an overview on general concepts that play a major role in every area of hadron and particle physics. Section 2: Hadron Physics. The strong interaction of quarks and gluons and the resulting hadron physics provides a broad field of interest with major discoveries (exotic hadrons) in the past decade. Understanding the strong interaction also provides the background for the search of physics beyond the standard model. Section 3: Lepton, Flavour and Higgs Physics. The electromagnetic and weak interaction of quarks, leptons and the Higgs particle provides a unique testing ground for the physics of the standard model with major advances in the past decades. Section 4: Neutrino Physics. This area has emerged in the past decade as a separate and highly innovative field with major discovery potential in the next years. Section 5: Beyond standard model physics. This section will provide introductions into the landscape of concepts of physics beyond the standard model including a broad variety of topics. Section 6: Experiments. Every young researcher struggles to get an overview on the large variety of ongoing and planned experiments in hadron and particle physics. Here will be introductions to general experimental concepts as well as an overview on all existing major international facilities and experiments. Advanced interactive features such as videos and 3D viewers are included, significantly increasing the practicality and learning outcomes for the modern-day reader for whom online usage is preferred.

  • Phoretic Motions of Liquid Droplets

    A Theoretical Analysis
    • 1st Edition
    • August 1, 2026
    • Eric Lee
    • English
    Phoretic Motions of Liquid Droplets: A Theoretical Analysis provides a detailed description of the fundamentals of the electrostatics and electrokinetics of various kinds of droplets: dielectric droplets, conducting droplets such as liquid metal droplets, polymeric liquid droplets and the implications they have for their broad practical applications. It is crucial to fully understand the underlying electrokinetic mechanisms before any meaningful practical applications of liquid droplets can be launched successfully.This is the first book to directly address phoretic motion of droplets; previously there has only been brief mention in texts mostly about solid particles, on which there is much more literature. Droplets of different kinds have different applications in practice. For instance, conducting droplets like liquid metal droplets have an inherent advantage in drug delivery over liposomes of dielectric droplets in terms of chemiphoresis, although both are widely used in drug delivery and micro/nanofluidic operations, among other practical applications. The book provides insights and guidelines for design engineers in drug delivery even in the fabrication stage of the droplets carrying therapeutic chemicals. Moreover, it is helpful in analyzing data for experimental researchers as well. For instance, a droplet filled with dielectric materials may not behave electrokinetically like a dielectric droplet under certain circumstances in practice, as might be expected by experimentalists.Pho... Motions of Liquid Droplets is written for researchers, industry engineers, and graduate and postdoc students in the field of colloidal and interface science and technology who are working on colloidal physics aspects and focused on electrokinetics, primarily from a chemical engineering, biomedical and biochemical engineering background.

  • An Introduction to Quantum Physics

    From Schrodinger's Equation to Quantum Computing
    • 1st Edition
    • August 1, 2026
    • Michael I. Bergman
    • English
    Michael Bergman’s An Introduction to Quantum Physics: From Schrodinger's Equation to Quantum Computing makes quantum mechanics concepts more accessible by focusing on the essentials of the Schrodinger equation and its application to the hydrogen atom, while exploring other idealized but important quantum mechanical problems, such as the infinite square well and the harmonic oscillator, in order to build students’ physical intuition. The text assumes only calculus-based introductory physics, but helps students understand the origin of the periodic table and the electronic structure of atoms in a deeper way than they may have explored in introductory chemistry coursework. The text also enables users to make connections with concepts in linear algebra, a course that many students have recently taken or may be taking concurrently. An Introduction to Quantum Physics: From Schrodinger's Equation to Quantum Computing also seeks to explore in rigorous fashion philosophical issues in quantum mechanics that readers will find intriguing. Testing these philosophical issues has now become experimentally possible, laying the groundwork for quantum computing, and broadening the book’s potential interest to students in related fields, including computer science, mathematics, and engineering. For a student’s first exposure to quantum mechanics the book offers a unique concentration on locality, entanglement, Bell’s theorem, and quantum gates. This valuable first edition delivers engaging explanations and illustrative examples for both classic problems solved by quantum mechanics and new ones that form the basis for quantum computing.
