Free Download Fractionalization of Particles in Physics: Invertible Topological Phases of Matter
English | 2025 | ISBN: 1107009545 | 909 Pages | PDF | 10 MB
This book explores the fractionalization of particles in physics, how interactions between individual particles and with their background can modify their fundamental quantum states. Covering a large breadth of topics with an example-driven approach, this comprehensive text explains why phases of matter must be described in terms of both symmetries and their topology. The majority of important results are derived in full with explanations provided, while exercises at the end of each section allow readers to extend and develop their understanding of key topics. The first part presents polyacetylene as the paradigmatic material in which electric charge can be fractionalized, while the second part introduces the notion of invertible topological phases of matter. The final part is devoted to the ‘ten-fold way’, a classification of topological insulators or superconductors. The text requires a solid understanding of quantum mechanics and is a valuable resource for graduate students and researchers in physics.

English | 2024 | ISBN: 303173422X | 514 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 67 MB
This edited volume collects nine surveys that present the state-of-the-art in modeling, qualitative analysis, and simulation of active particles, focusing on specific applications in the natural sciences. As in the preceding Active Particles volumes, it blends diverse applications that demonstrate the interdisciplinary nature of the subject and the various mathematical tools available. Contributions were selected with the aim of covering a variety of viewpoints, from modeling the interactions in collective dynamics of animals and in population dynamics; through neural-networks, semi-supervised learning, and Monte Carlo methods in optimization; to kinetic and continuum theories with applications to aggregations and birth-and-death processes. Mathematicians and other members of the scientific community interested in active matter and its many applications will find this volume to be a timely, authoritative, and valuable resource.

Free Download Harald Fritzsch, "Elementary Particles: Building Blocks Of Matter"
English | ISBN: 981256408X | 2005 | 118 pages | PDF | 1383 KB
This highly readable book uncovers the mysteries of the physics of elementary particles for a broad audience. From the familiar notions of atoms and molecules to the complex ideas of the grand unification of all the basic forces, this book allows the interested lay public to appreciate the fascinating building blocks of matter that make up our universe. Beginning with a description of the quantum nature of atoms and particles, readers are introduced to the elementary constituents of atomic nuclei: quarks. The book goes on to consider all of the important ideas in particle physics: quantum electrodynamics and quantum chromodynamics, the theory of strong interactions, the gauge theories of the weak and electromagnetic interactions, as well as the problem of mass generation. To conclude the book, the ideas of grand unification are described, and finally, some applications to astrophysics are discussed. Your guide to this exciting world is an author who, together with the originator of the idea of quarks, Murray Gell-Mann, has played an important role in the development of the theory of quantum chromodynamics and the concept of grand unification.

Free Download Particles and Nuclei: An Introduction to the Physical Concepts By Professor Dr. Bogdan Povh, Professor Dr. Klaus Rith, Dr. Christoph Scholz, Dr. Frank Zetsche (auth.)
1995 | 340 Pages | ISBN: 3540594396 | PDF | 14 MB
This introductory textbook gives a unified presentation of nuclear and particle physics from an experimental point of view. The first part of the book, Analysis, is devoted to disentangling the substructure of matter. This part shows that experiments designed to uncover the substructures of nuclei and nucleons have a similar conceptual basis, and lead to the present picture of all matter being built out of a small number of elementary building blocks and a small number of fundamental interactions.The second part, Synthesis, shows how the elementary particles may be combined to build hadrons and nuclei. The fundamental interactions which are responsible for the forces in all systems become less and less evident in increasing complex syystems. Such systems are in fact dominated by many-body phenomena.This concise text is based on lectures held at the University of Heidelberg and is well suited for undergraduate courses. It includes numerous exercises with worked answers.

Free Download Fine Particles Science and Technology: From Micro to Nanoparticles By Egon Matijević (auth.), Ezio Pelizzetti (eds.)
1996 | 840 Pages | ISBN: 0792340477 | PDF | 42 MB
Fine Particles Science and Technology deals with the preparation, characterization and technological applications of monodisperse particles in the micro to nano size range. A broad view of this frontier field is given, covering understanding the mechanisms by which uniform fine particles are formed and the search for new processes; the mechanism of the precipitation technique, requiring knowledge of the relationship between the complex solution chemistry and the products formed; the sequence of events leading to the formation of monodisperse colloids. The following topics are presented: microparticles, nanoparticles, applications in the preparation of materials, synthesis and properties, environmental applications, and many others.

Free Download Cantonese Particles and Affixal Quantification By Peppina Po-lun Lee (auth.)
2012 | 254 Pages | ISBN: 9400743866 | PDF | 2 MB
Cantonese, the lingua franca of Hong Kong and its neighboring province, has an unusually rich repertoire of verbal particles. This volume significantly augments the academic literature on their semantics, focusing on three affixal quantifiers, -saai, -hoi and -maai. The author shows how these verbal suffixes display a unique interplay of syntax and semantics: used in a sentence with no focus, they quantify items flexibly, according to an accessibility hierarchy; with focus, focus comes into effect after syntactic selection. This fresh and compelling perspective in the study of particles and quantification is the first in-depth analysis of Cantonese verbal suffixes. It compares the language’s affixal quantification to the alternative determiner and adverbial quantifiers. The book’s syntax-semantics mapping geography deploys both descriptive and theoretical approaches, making it an essential resource for researchers studying the nexus of syntax and semantics, as well as Cantonese itself.
