  • Advances in Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 74
    • English
    Advances in Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics, Volume 74 gives an overview on the latest evolutions in atomic, molecular, and optical physics, specifically promoting two important aspects of the field of ultrafast optics and strong fields. In particular, the book consists of a review over high harmonic generation (HHG) from thin-film samples, featuring experimental and theoretical studies of HHG from thin films in comparison to bulk crystals of the same materials and the specific interest in HHG from van der Waals materials and HHG studies at the 2D limit.The second review concerns quantum computing technologies enabled studies of molecular processes using present-day devices, with applications in vibrational spectroscopy, electronic structure calculations, population transfer processes induced by a laser field, and interacting spin systems.

  • Annual Reports on NMR Spectroscopy

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 114
    • English
    Annual Reports on NMR Spectroscopy, Volume 114 presents the latest release in a series that has established itself as a premier resource for both specialists and non-specialists interested in new techniques and applications pertaining to NMR spectroscopy. Chapters in this new release include Nuclear Cross Relaxation: Experimental Strategies to Watch Molecular Dynamics, The use of NMR spectroscopy in peptide sequencing, Phase Diffusion Methods for NMR Spin System Evolutions: Diffusion, Relaxation, and Exchange, and Demystifying noise in NMR spectroscopy: What it is, what causes it, and how to tackle the problems it generates?Magnetic resonance now has a history exceeding 70 years. Not only has the range of applications of magnetic resonance-based techniques grown exponentially but so too has the literature. Consequently, a distillation and synthesis of the literature is in itself an extremely important research tool, providing an efficient means to take newcomers to the research frontiers and keeping experienced researchers aware of contemporary practice. Since 1968 Annual Reports on NMR Spectroscopy been at the vanguard of reviewing the magnetic resonance literature. Annual Reports on NMR Spectroscopy covers magnetic resonance in all its forms, including theory, experiment, applications, and interconnections with other techniques. It also provides the opportunity to make coherent aspects of magnetic resonance that were scattered and opaque. Historical articles including obituaries are also welcomed.Potential authors are encouraged to consult with the Serial Editor.William S. PriceWestern Sydney University, NSW, Australiaw.price@wes...

    • Juan Camilo Molina Villegas
    • English
    Advanced Structural Analysis: From Theory to Computer Implementation (OpenSees Examples with Python Code Solutions) starts by laying out the differential equations governing various structural elements and shows how to solve simple structures directly using concepts from differential equations and boundary value problems. Introducing the Green’s Functions Stiffness Method (GFSM), a novel technique related to the traditional Stiffness Method (SM) and FEM, the GFSM corrects FEM and merges SM's strengths with those of Green’s Functions. The book features numerous examples and exercises with Python code solutions, some of which also demonstrate the use of OpenSees, a popular FEM program.By offering theoretical foundations and practical numerical implementations, it provides a comprehensive understanding of structural analysis concepts.

    Distribution System Modeling with Distributed Energy Resources: Local Energy Markets, Aggregators, Grid Services, and Flexibility utilizes a wide range of modeling approaches to support DER integration into the energy grid. The book opens by introducing basic principles and challenges of modern energy systems and the role of DERs in resolving issues, as well as regulatory considerations and frameworks across a variety of distributions. It goes on to demonstrate and evaluate mathematical modeling and optimizing methods, including robust and adaptive robust methods, the two-stage stochastic method, and bi-level optimization approaches.This theory is then applied to a range of test-cases which use the DER aggregator as either price-maker or price-taker, apply Karush-Kahn-Tucker condition, dual theory approaches, and bilateral contacts, TSO-DSO cooperation, and decision-making tools. With a practical, holistic approach, this book supports graduate students, researchers, and industry engineers in energy systems modeling to design sustainable power grids for the future.
