Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2008 in the subject Physics - Theoretical Physics, grade: 1,0, University of Dortmund (Experimentelle Physik II), language: English, abstract: Abstract Photoluminescence (PL) and optically detected resonances (ODR) where studied on semiconductor quantum wells and quantum dots. Magnetic fields of up to 33 T where applied to samples at temperatures between 0.25 K and 10 K. In nonmagnetic quantum wells optically detected cyclotron resonance was used to determine basic properties such as effective mass and mobility of GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells. In CdTe/CdMgTe quantum wells evidence for the singlet and triplet state of the negatively and positively cha...
Starting from a historical overview of particle accelerator development and an emphasis on the importance of high energy particles in fundamental research, Wille (physics, U. of Dortmund) surveys many aspects of accelerator physics also relevant to other disciplines and develops relevant formulas step-by-step. Suitable for a senior undergraduate text. The translator is in the physics department at the U. of Bristol. First published in Germany in 1996. c. Book News Inc.
Bei der Erforschung der Materie spielen seit den zwanziger Jahren dieses Jahr hunderts die Teilchenbeschleuniger eine wichtige Rolle. Sie liefern seither die für die Experimente mit Atomkernen oder Elementarteilchen erforderlichen Strahlen mit wohldefinierten Eigenschaften. Dabei sind die für diesen Zweck entwickel ten Anlagen vor allem wegen der erforderlichen sehr hohen Teilchenenergien im Laufe der Zeit immer größer geworden und haben inzwischen Dimensionen von über 10 km erreicht. Bei ringförmigen Beschleunigern für Elektronenstrahlen tritt ab Energien von einigen 10 MeV eine intensive elektromagnetische Strah lung, die Synchrotronstrahlung, auf, die wegen ihrer interessanten Eige...
The field of Buddhist studies is an international and interdisciplinary one. By its nature, the study of Buddhism must take into account phenomena that cross national and cultural boundaries, as well as the more artificial boundaries of modern academic fields. This volume presents 18 studies, the subjects of which range over India, China, Tibet and Japan, and deal with an ever broader range of subjects. It includes many essays on Buddhist philosophy, a number of which deal with the Madhyamaka tradition of Nagarjuna and his successors, while others examine the Yogacara tradition of Asanga, Vasubandhu, and their successors. These essays investigate areas of doctrinal interest such as the so-called Two-Truth theory, and the doctrine of the equivalence of nirvana and samsara, as well as such topics as the nature and practice of compassion, and Indian Buddhist cosmology. Still other studies examine topics such as the meditation practices of the Japanese Pure Land founder Honen, some of the earliest Chinese Buddhist art objects yet known and their importance for the transmission of Buddhism to China, later Indian logic, epistemology and the theory of meaning, what we know about the ear
TThe Oxford Handbook to European Romanticism brings together leading scholars in the field to examine the intellectual, literary, philosophical, and political elements of European Romanticism. The book focuses on the cultural history of the period extending from the French Revolution to the uprisings of 1848. It begins with a series of chapters examining key texts written by major writers in languages including: French; German; Italian; Spanish; Russian; Hungarian; Greek; and Polish amongst others. A second section then explores the naturally inter-disciplinary quality of Romanticism, exemplified by the different discourses with which writers of the time set up an internal, comparative dynam...
An insightful examination of the end of suffering that draws much-needed attention to two overlooked factors of Nirvana: signlessness and deathlessness. Nirvana is a critical part of the Buddhist path, though it remains a difficult concept to fully understand for Buddhist practitioners. In The Signless and the Deathless: On the Realization of Nirvana, scholar-monk Bhikkhu Analayo breaks new ground, or rediscovers old ground, by showing the reader that realizing Nirvana entails “a complete stepping out of the way the mind usually constructs experience.” With his extraordinary mastery of canonical Buddhist languages, Venerable Analayo first takes the reader through discussions in early Bud...

Der Sangha, die vom Buddha gegrundete Asketengemeinschaft, spielt bereits in den fruhesten buddhistischen Texten eine zentrale Rolle. In dieser Gemeinschaft wird eine Lebensform praktiziert, die nach Aussage des "vollkommen erwachten" Lehrers das ideale Umfeld bietet, um zur Erkenntnis des Weltgesetzes und damit zur endgultigen Befreiung aus dem Daseinskreislauf zu gelangen. Der Sangha hat ausserdem die Aufgabe, die Lehre des Buddha zu bewahren und weiterzugeben. Schon fruh und bis heute ist er - neben dem Buddha und seiner Lehre - eines der "drei Juwele", zu denen man Zuflucht nimmt, wenn man sich dem Buddhismus zuwendet. In dieser Arbeit wird untersucht, wie der Sangha in fruhen buddhistischen Lehrtexten religios gedeutet wird und welche Stellung er damit in der buddhistischen Lehre einnimmt.
