Free Download The Monte Carlo Method in Condensed Matter Physics By Kurt Binder (auth.), Professor Dr. Kurt Binder (eds.)
1995 | 420 Pages | ISBN: 3540601740 | PDF | 7 MB
Alongside experimental and theoretical work, computer simulation now forms one of the major tools of research in physics. The Monte Carlo method is the most important simulation method in the area of condensed matter physics. This book, written by foremost experts in the field, describes the state of the art of simulation methods in solid state physics. It also reviews selected applications in areas of particular current interest like simulations of growth processes far from equilibrium, interfacial phenomena, quantum and classical fluids, polymers, quantum problems on lattices, and random systems. A new chapter on recent developments in the Monte Carlo simulation of condensed matter has been attached.

Condensed Matter Physics and Exactly Soluble Models Selecta of Elliott H. Lieb


Free Download Condensed Matter Physics and Exactly Soluble Models: Selecta of Elliott H. Lieb By Professor Bruno Nachtergaele, Professor Jan Philip Solovej, Professor Jakob Yngvason (auth.), Professor Bruno Nachtergaele, Professor Jan Philip Solovej, Professor Jakob Yngvason (eds.)
2004 | 675 Pages | ISBN: 3642060935 | PDF | 38 MB
The first part of this book contains E. Lieb’s fundamental contributions to the mathematical theory of Condensed Matter Physics. Often considered the founding father of the field, E. Lieb demonstrates his ability to select the most important issues and to formulate them as well-defined mathematical problems and, finally, to solve them. The second part presents Lieb’s work on integrable models. His groundbreaking articles helped to establish Exactly Soluble Models as a flourishing research field in its own right. The papers collected in this volume have also been carefully annotated by the editors.

Shock-Wave Phenomena and the Properties of Condensed Matter


Free Download Shock-Wave Phenomena and the Properties of Condensed Matter By G. I. Kanel, V. E. Fortov, S. V. Razorenov (auth.)
2004 | 322 Pages | ISBN: 1441919163 | PDF | 19 MB
Strong shock waves present unique opportunities for investigations in the fields of physics of condensed matter, thermophysics, physics of strength and plasticity, and chemical physics under conditions of the highest possible rates of deformation, and high pressures and temperatures. The physics of shock waves in condensed matter deal with pressures from ~100 MPa to several hundreds of GPa (and up to ten TPa in some unique experiments), temperatures up to tens of thousands of K, and durations of load application from nanoseconds to a few microseconds. Behavior of a material under these extreme conditions often differs radically from expectations based on quasistatic observations. As an example, observed anomalous temperature dependencies of the strength properties of some metals were not predicted by theories. The investigations of shock-wave phenomena in condensed matter that are discussed in this book are stimulated by the necessity to develop methods for predicting effects of explosions, high-velocity collisions, and other sources of intense dynamic loading of materials and structures. In the modern view, complete predictability is achieved when computers can accurately simulate processes of interest. The simulations require development of thermophysical equations of state and constitutive relationships that describe processes of inelastic deformation and fracture, polymorphic transformations, chemical reactions, melting, vaporization, ionization, and other phenomena observed under these conditions. Systematic discussions of various aspects of thermomechanical behavior of solid materials of different classes when subjected to shock-wave loading comprise the main part of this book. It provides an account of recent Russian work in this field that is unique in its balanced coverage of theoretical, experimental, and computational results. The discussions include a comprehensive analysis of:The structure of compression and rarefaction waves in solids, experimental data on the dynamic yield and tensile strengths of metals and alloys at normal and elevated temperatures, and constitutive relationships that describe high-rate yielding Static and dynamic compressive deformation and fracture of brittle materials, and failure-wave phenomena Shock induced polymorphic transformation, melting, and vaporization Explosive initiation and detonation phenomena, with emphasis on macrokinetics of chemical energy release Physics of the most extreme states of matter accessible by shock compression.

Shock Waves @ Marseille III Shock Waves in Condensed Matter and Heterogeneous Media


Free Download Shock Waves @ Marseille III: Shock Waves in Condensed Matter and Heterogeneous Media By M. E. H. van Dongen (auth.), Professor Dr. Raymond Brun, Professor Dr. Lucien Z. Dumitrescu (eds.)
1995 | 485 Pages | ISBN: 3642788378 | PDF | 14 MB
This volume gathers papers treating effects of shock waves propagating in complex media, such as polyphasic and porous media, and in condensed matter: thus, two-phase flows with shock waves include dust and droplet gas suspensions, steam, bubbly liquids without or with evaporation or condensation. The second volume also includes papers devoted to industrial and environmental applications involving shock waves, and thus miscellaneous applied topics such as lasers, high-speed trains, car exhausts, and guns are concerned, as well as for environmental problems, volcanic eruptions, meteorite impacts, and orbital debris. Finally, biological aspects of shock waves are presented such as the effects on biliary and renal stones, cancerous tissues, and the pulmonary system.This volume addresses scientists working in the treated topics, such as multiphasic and porous media, and various categories of engineers or technicians, especially from both environmental and space technology, and medical personnel interested in biological effects and medical applications of shock waves.

Field Theories for Low-Dimensional Condensed Matter Systems


Free Download Field Theories for Low-Dimensional Condensed Matter Systems: Spin Systems and Strongly Correlated Electrons by Giuseppe Morandi, Pasquale Sodano, Arturo Tagliacozzo, Valerio Tognetti
English | PDF | 2000 | 286 Pages | ISBN : 3540671773 | 23.9 MB
This book is especially addressed to young researchers in theoretical physics with a basic background in Field Theory and Condensed Matter Physics. The topics were chosen so as to offer the largest possible overlap between the two expertises, selecting a few key problems in Condensed Matter Theory which have been recently revisited within a field-theoretic approach. The presentation of the material is aimed not only at providing the reader with an overview of this exciting frontier area of modern theoretical physics, but also at elucidating most of the tools needed for a technical comprehen sion of the many papers appearing in current issues of physics journals and, hopefully, to enable the reader to tackle research problems in this area of physics. This makes the material a live creature: while not pretending it to be exhaustive, it is tutorial enough to be useful to young researchers as a starting point in anyone of the topics covered in the book.
