This book covers some of the most recent advances in the field of superfluids and superconductors. More specifically, it presents some of the most advanced theoretical formulations of superfluidity and superconductivity with special regard to their topological properties and vortex dynamics together with a description of the main experiments carried out via experimental techniques at the forefront to study these two such important phenomena in condensed matter physics. Special emphasis is given to ultracold Fermi gases, to clean liquid helium and to vortex membranes and knots for the class of superfluids and to the emerging superconductivity, to intermediate states in type-I superconductors, and to heat treatments to modulate the critical temperature for the class of superconductors.
Solid state physics is the branch of physics primarily devoted to the study of matter in its solid phase, especially at the atomic level. This prestigious serial presents timely and state-of-the-art reviews pertaining to all aspects of solid state physics. - Contributions from leading authorities - Informs and updates on all the latest developments in the field
A growing awareness for sustainable mobility and the importance of reducing greenhouse gas emissions call for immediate action in the maritime industry. Technical improvements, such as the hydrodynamic optimization, innovations in energy saving devices, new propulsion systems and power supplies can contribute to such achievements. This challenge is even more demanding for high speed marine craft. This book presents the proceedings of HSMV2023, the 13th International Symposium on High Speed Marine Vehicles, held from 23 to 25 October 2023 in Naples, Italy. The conference attracts academics, researchers, designers, operators and shipowners. It provides a platform for the presentation and discussion of developments in the design, construction and operation of high speed marine vessels. More than 40 submissions were received; 27 papers were selected for presentation and publication in this book after a rigorous review process. The book provides an overview of current innovations and developments, and can be a reference for all those working in the field of high-speed marine vehicles.
This book reports on the recent progresses in theory, application, and characterization of magnetic materials. It covers a broad spectrum of topics on magnetic materials with different shapes and morphologies such as transition metals, cylindrical and 2D ferromagnetic nanowires, core-shell nanowires, monoatomic-layered nanostructures, and nanocrystals. This book addresses diverse groups of readers with general background in physics and material science and also covers topics for the specialists in the field of magnetism. It is believed that this book will be interesting for the readers and will provide a solid foundation about the topic for the students, scientists, and engineers working in the field of material science and condensed matter physics.
"The book reviews all the aspects of recent developments in research on skyrmions, from the presentation of the observation and characterization techniques to the description of physical properties and expected applications. It will be of great use for all scientists working in this field." – Albert Fert, 2007 Nobel Laureate in Physics (from the Foreword) A skyrmion is a tiny region of reversed magnetization – quasiparticles since they are not present except in a magnetic state, and also give rise to physics that cannot be described by Maxwell’s equations. These particles are fascinating subjects for theoretical and experimental studies. Moreover, as a new type of magnetic domain struc...
Magnetic skyrmions are particle-like objects described by localized solutions of non-linear partial differential equations. Up until a few decades ago, it was believed that magnetic skyrmions only existed in condensed matter as short-term excitations that would quickly collapse into linear singularities. The contrary was proven theoretically in 1989 and evidentially in 2009. It is now known that skyrmions can exist as long-living metastable configurations in low-symmetry condensed matter systems with broken mirror symmetry, increasing the potential applications possible. Magnetic Skyrmions and their Applications delves into the fundamental principles and most recent research and developments...
Il volume rappresenta il risultati del primo censimento ragionato della ricerca che il Politecnico fa dalla sua fondazione nel 1990, relativamente al biennio 2013/2014. Esso dà conto a) dei gruppi di ricerca (attraverso schede sintetiche), e dei dottorandi; b) delle ricerche in atto attraverso gli abstract dei paper presentati. Ne risulta una mappa dello stato dell’arte della ricerca con cui orientarsi, utile sia alla comunità scientifica del Politecnico che alla società civile per la conoscenza di competenze utili ad affrontare le complesse sfide sociali del nostro tempo. In this volume there are the results of the first reasoned census of researches that Politecnico carries out ago from its founding in 1990, relative to the two-year period 2013/2014. It gives an account a) to the research groups (through short cards) and of doctoral students; b) of the researches through the abstracts of the papers submitted. The result is a map of the state of research with which to orient yourself, useful both to the scientific community of the Politecnico that to the civil society, to know skills needed to address complex social challenges of our time.
