"Soft matter science is an interdisciplinary field at the interface of physics, biology, chemistry, engineering, and materials science. It encompasses colloids, polymers, and liquid crystals as well as rapidly emerging topics such as metamaterials, memory formation and learning in matter, bioactive systems, and artificial life. This textbook introduces key phenomena and concepts in soft matter from a modern perspective, marrying established knowledge with the latest developments and applications. The presentation integrates statistical mechanics, dynamical systems, and hydrodynamic approaches, emphasizing conservation laws and broken symmetries as guiding principles while paying attention to computational and machine learning advances. The book features introductory chapters on fluid mechanics, elasticity, and stochastic phenomena and also covers advanced topics such as pattern formation and active matter. it discusses technological applications as well as relevant phenomena in the life sciences and offers perspectives on emerging research directions"--
This fifteenth volume of the Poincare Seminar Series, Dirac Matter, describes the surprising resurgence, as a low-energy effective theory of conducting electrons in many condensed matter systems, including graphene and topological insulators, of the famous equation originally invented by P.A.M. Dirac for relativistic quantum mechanics. In five highly pedagogical articles, as befits their origin in lectures to a broad scientific audience, this book explains why Dirac matters. Highlights include the detailed "Graphene and Relativistic Quantum Physics", written by the experimental pioneer, Philip Kim, and devoted to graphene, a form of carbon crystallized in a two-dimensional hexagonal lattice,...
La 4e de couverture indique : "Cet ouvrage propose des expériences dans différents domaines de la physique, réalisées en laboratoire d'enseignement. Les auteurs ont souhaité adopter une présentation qui insiste sur les différentes étapes de la démarche expérimentale : modélisation du phénomène étudié, construction argumentée du protocole expérimental, interprétation et analyse critique des résultats obtenus et des écarts à la modélisation. Ce choix facilite une prise en main rapide et une utilisation efficace en séance de travaux pratiques. L'ouvrage s'adresse à un large public : candidats aux concours du CAPES, de l'agrégation, enseignants du secondaire et de l'enseignement supérieur, élèves de CPGE, Licence et Master. Les lecteurs pourront également trouver dans cet ouvrage des schémas clairs et précis des dispositifs expérimentaux utilisés, des photographies des expériences et des phénomènes observés, un traitement des données expérimentales réalisé avec le langage libre Python, et de nombreuses références bibliographiques"
