    Physics presents Nobel Lectures on physics from the period of 1922 to 1941. This book is organized into 18 parts encompassing 36 chapters that cover various Nobel physics subjects. The first parts explore the advances in understanding the atom structure, experimental studies of electrons, X-ray spectra of the atomic structure, kinetic energy of free electrons, and discontinuous structure of matter. These topics are followed by discussions on the laws governing the thermionic phenomena, wave nature of electron, light molecular scattering, the development of quantum mechanics, properties of neutrons, and the properties and production of positrons. The remaining parts are devoted to electronic waves, neutron's artificial radioactivity, and the evolution of cyclotron. Physicists will find this book invaluable.

    Plasma Astrophysics is a translation from the Russian language; the topics discussed are based on lectures given by V.N. Tsytovich at several universities. The book describes the physics of the various phenomena and their mathematical formulation connected with plasma astrophysics. This book also explains the theory of the interaction of fast particles plasma, their radiation activities, as well as the plasma behavior when exposed to a very strong magnetic field. The text describes the nature of collective plasma processes and of plasma turbulence. One author explains the method of elementary excitation which he has developed. The book also discusses the sporadic radio-emission of the sun, galactic nuclei, radio-galaxies, quasars, and pulsars. The book explains that problems involving terrestrial plasma can be split into parts; in astrophysics, the approach is different. For example, particle acceleration is determined by turbulence spectra that in turn depends on the energy distribution of the accelerated particles. The authors also give theoretical results based on many calculations analysis of observational data: Tsytovich contributes new theoretical calculations. This book can prove helpful for nuclear scientists and researchers working with plasma physics or astro-physics.

  • The Statistical Theory of Non-Equilibrium Processes in a Plasma

    International Series of Monographs in Natural Philosophy, Vol. 9
    • 1st Edition

    • D. ter Haar
    • English
    The Statistical Theory of Non-equilibrium Processes in a Plasma covers the modern statistical theory of non-equilibrium processes in a plasma by a unified method, proceeding from the microscopic equations. The book discusses Maxwell equations for slow and fast processes; magnetohydrodynamic equations; microscopic equations for a plasma; and equations with a self-consistent field (Vlasov equations). The text then describes correlation and spectral function; kinetic equations for a plasma; and Landau equations. It also examines the kinetic equations and expressions for spectral functions when the radiation by plasma waves is taken into account; and the hydrodynamic description of processes in a plasma. Physicists and students taking courses in mechanics and mathematics will find the book invaluable.

    Progress in Reaction Kinetics, Volume 3 presents articles about advances in reaction kinetics. The book begins with a theoretical review of bimolecular reactions, such as the relation between free energy and potential energy surfaces. The text describes reactions of hydrogen atoms in the gas phase; the hot atom chemistry of gas-phase systems; the inhibition of gaseous free radical chain reactions; and vibrational relaxation in gases. Articles about pulse radiolysis; the effects of dose-rate and linear energy transfer in radiation chemistry; and the electronic spectra and kinetics of aromatic free radicals are also considered. The book further tackles the kinetics of polymerization of vinyl monomers by lithium alkyls as well as radical polymerization in solutions. Chemists and professionals dealing with radiation, physical, and industrial chemistry will find the book invaluable.

    The Mechanical and Physical Properties of the British Standard En Steels (B.S. 970-1955), Volume 3: En 40 to En 363 contains technical data and information in addition to mechanical and physical properties of the most commonly used range of steels in the United Kingdom, the B.S.970 En Steels. This volume is compiled by the Steel User Service of the British Iron and Steel Research Association. This book is divided into 40 chapters, each devoted to one En number. Each chapter contains various items of information, including Specification, Related Specifications, Applications, Welding, Machinability, Hot Working and Heat Treatment Temperatures, Physical Properties, Isothermal and Continuous Cooling Diagrams, Hardenability, Mechanical Properties at Room Temperatures, Mechanical Properties at Low Temperatures, Mechanical Properties at High Temperatures, and Torsional and Fatigue Properties. Some of the En specifications are sub-divided into steels of slightly different composition. The tables and curves are reproduced to show graphically the effects of tempering temperature and of ruling section as heat treated and also to indicate the range of properties that be expected from steels conforming to a particular En number. This book will prove useful to engineers, designers, manufacturers, and users.
