Based on a scattering theoretic approach which effectively constitutes an extension of the Dyson or Lippman-Schwinger theories, Green functions constitute the backbone of a matching analysis. This analysis is applied to a wide range of models, materials and physical problems, from electronic structure of semiconductor superlattices or phonons in metal superlattices to surface Brillouin scattering, piezoelectric surface waves or interface waves in viscoelastic fluids.
Els autors presenten diferents tipus de matrius de transferència, sistematitzen les propietats matemàtiques formals i les relacionen amb diferents tipus de matrius de scattering... En definitiva, aporten als investigadors les tècniques que són d'utilitat en l'estudi d'heterostructures planars.
In this book, scientists who are pre-eminent in their fields focus on the crucial role of science in the transition away from a culture of war towards the construction of peace based on a capacity to anticipate and prevent destructive conflicts. The subject matter, wide-ranging and of great concern to people everywhere, includes the progress and prospects for a nuclear-weapon-free world; non-nuclear threats to peace and security; the building of legitimate world institutions; conflict resolution and the construction of peace; the local and global environmental dimensions of peace; the health hazards of nuclear chemical and biological weapons; and the interactions between health problems and ...

Professor Ziman's classic textbook on the theory of solids was first pulished in 1964. This paperback edition is a reprint of the second edition, which was substantially revised and enlarged in 1972. The value and popularity of this textbook is well attested by reviewers' opinions and by the existence of several foreign language editions, including German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Polish and Russian. The book gives a clear exposition of the elements of the physics of perfect crystalline solids. In discussing the principles, the author aims to give students an appreciation of the conditions which are necessary for the appearance of the various phenomena. A self-contained mathematical account is given of the simplest model that will demonstrate each principle. A grounding in quantum mechanics and knowledge of elementary facts about solids is assumed. This is therefore a textbook for advanced undergraduates and is also appropriate for graduate courses.

This book brings together a broad spectrum of authors, both from inside and from outside Cuba, who describe the development of Cuba's scientific system from the colonial period to the present. It is a unique documentation of the self-organizing power of a local scientific community engaged in scientific research on an international level. The first part includes several contributions that reconstruct the different stages of the history of physics in Cuba, from its beginnings in the late colonial era to the present. The second part comprises testimonies of Cuban physicists, who offer lively insights from the perspective of the actors themselves. The third part presents a series of testimonies...

“Física y química en la Colina de los Chopos” es la historia de un edificio construido para la ciencia hace 75 años y en el que hoy se siguen realizando investigaciones en la frontera del conocimiento. El denominado popularmente “edificio Rockefeller” se inauguró en 1932 como sede del Instituto Nacional de Física y Química de la Junta de Ampliación de Estudios (JAE) gracias a la ayuda financiera de la Fundación Rockefeller de Estados Unidos. Hoy es la sede del Instituto de Química Física y de un Departamento del Instituto de Estructura de la Materia del CSIC, que en este libro ofrecen una síntesis de sus investigaciones en las últimas décadas, acompañando a varios estudios que analizan la construcción del edificio y especialmente los trabajos que en él se realizaron durante sus primeros años de andadura.
