Since the advent of the laser about 40 years ago, the fields of laser physics and quantum optics have evolved into a major disciplines. The early studies included optical coherence theory and semiclassical and quantum mechanical theories of the laser. More recently many new and interesting effects have been predicted. These include the role of coherent atomic effects in lasing without inversion and electromagnetically induced transparency, atom optics, laser cooling and trapping, teleportation, the single-atom micromaser and its role in quantum measurement theory, to name a few. The International Conference on Laser Physics and Quantum Optics was held in Shanghai, China, from August 25 to Au...
This workshop is the fifth in a series devoted to the presentation and discussion of new findings in the field of noncrystalline solids such as amorphous and nanocrystalline materials, granular systems and fine particles, multiphase systems and thin films, polymers, and other disordered systems. The workshop is divided into six categories, with ten invited contributions.
It became clear in the early days of fusion research that the effects of the containment vessel (erosion of "impurities") degrade the overall fusion plasma performance. Progress in controlled nuclear fusion research over the last decade has led to magnetically confined plasmas that, in turn, are sufficiently powerful to damage the vessel structures over its lifetime. This book reviews current understanding and concepts to deal with this remaining critical design issue for fusion reactors. It reviews both progress and open questions, largely in terms of available and sought-after plasma-surface interaction data and atomic/molecular data related to these "plasma edge" issues.
RIS 98 chronicles the work presented at the Ninth International Symposium on Resonance Ionization Spectroscopy. Topics cover all aspects of RIS applications, including medical, biological, and environmental. This meeting is the most comprehensive information exchange and best available reference source for anyone using this ultra-sensitive analytical technique. Papers accepted for inclusion have been refereed before publication.
Emphasizes work across disciplines and how the technology may be influenced by potential applications in other fields. The 89 papers cover the technique from the perspectives of molecules and molecular clusters, femtoseconds, atoms, environmental applications, surface analysis, new laser sources and
The principal motivations for establishing the ICAMDATA conference series are to provide a focal point for intensive interactions between atomic and molecular data producers, compliers and users, and to provide a forum to discuss major issues, which are highlighted in this volume. Both theoretical and experimental approaches are reviewed and cover a broad spectrum of topics, including electron impact with atoms and molecules, atomic structure and transition probabilities, heavy particle collisions, quantum chemistry, and thermochemical data. Most papers focus not only on the means of production of data but also on providing some idea of the accuracy of the data produced. The third aspect of the conference examined closely the various databases around the world.
This wide-ranging encyclopedia addresses our rapidly changing understanding of health and wellness, providing a collection of essays that are up-to-date and comprehensive in both scope and breadth. Encyclopedia of Wellness: From Açaí Berry to Yo-Yo Dieting offers expert advice to anyone seeking information on a condition or illness. More than that, however, this three-volume resource is a compendium of practical information on how to reduce poor health choices and live a healthy, active, vibrant life. A source of basic, easily understandable entries on health and wellness, the encyclopedia covers an extraordinarily broad array of health-related topics including acupuncture, art therapy, bi...
