Multi-Wave Mixing Processes - From Ultrafast Polarization Beats to Electromagnetically Induced Transparency

A.Multi-Wave Mixing Processes - From Ultrafast Polarization Beats to Electromagnetically Induced Transparency discusses the interactions of MWM processes

Stroh Formalism and Rayleigh Waves

The purpose of this formalism and demonstrate its effectiveness in both static and dynamic elasticity. In Chapter 2 several important topics in static elasticity, which include fundamental solutions, piezoelectricity, and inverse boundary value problems, are studied on the basis of the equations of anisotropic elasticity. This work will appeal to students and researchers in applied mathematics, mechanics, and engineering science

The Theory of Composites

Mathematically, it is the study of partial differential equations with rapid oscillations in their coefficients. Although extensively studied for more than a hundred years, an explosion of ideas in the last two decades) has dramatically increased our understanding of the greatest scientists including Poisson, Faraday,

Spectroscopy of Emerging Materials - Proceedings of the NATO ARW on Frontiers in Spectroscopy of Emergent Materials: Recent Advances toward New Technologies, Sudak, Crimea, Ukraine, from 14 to 18 September 2003.

A comprehensive discussion of the key role of modern spectroscopic investigations in interdisciplinary materials science and engineering, covering emerging materials that are either absolutely novel or well-known materials with recently discovered, exciting properties.. The materials studied are highly topical, with a focus on carbon and silicon nanomaterials including nanotubes, fullerenes, nanoclusters, metallic superconducting phases, molecular materials, magnetic and charge-stripe oxides, and biomaterials. Theoretical treatments are presented of molecular vibrational dynamics, vibration-induced decay of electronic excited states, nanoscale spin-orbit coupling in 2D Si-based structures, and the growth of semiconductor clusters. The types of spectroscopy discussed include optical, electronic and magnetic, UV-visible absorption, Rayleigh scattering,
