CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (100th Edition) by John Rumble (Editor)
Call Number: Main Library Reference
ISBN: 9781138367296
Publication Date: 2019-06-07
In a world with access to unlimited amounts of data, how can users who need to make critical scientific and technical decisions find high quality, reliable data? Today, more than ever, the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics remains a hallmark of quality. For over 100 years, the Handbook has provided property data on chemical compounds and all physical particles that have been reported in the literature, carefully reviewed by subject experts. Every year older collections are updated with the latest values and new areas will be added as science progresses.
Handbook of Liquid Crystals, 8 Volume Set (2nd Edition) by John W. Goodby (Editor); Volkmar Vill (Editor); Peter J. Collings (Editor); Helen Gleeson (Editor); Takashi Kato (Editor); Peter Raynes (Editor); Carsten Tschierske (Editor)
Call Number: QD923 .H37 2014
ISBN: 9783527327737
Publication Date: 2014-04-14
The second edition is completely restructured and streamlined, with updated as well as completely new topics, 100% more content and a new team of editors and authors. As such, it fills the gap for a definitive, single source reference for all those working in the field of organized fluids. The new structure facilitates navigation and combines the presentation of the content by topic and by liquid-crystal type.
Encyclopedia of Condensed Matter Physics by Bassani Wyder Liedl; Franco Bassani (Editor); Peter Wyder (Editor); Gerald Liedl (Editor)
Call Number: QC173.454 .E53 2005
ISBN: 0122276108
Publication Date: 2005-08-17
The work provides solid coverage in the fundamental theoretical aspects of the subject, with carefully planned cross-linking and structuring to give the user the potential to gain a solid grounding in the theoretical aspects of quantum mechanics, mechanics, electrodynamics, relativity, statistical mechanics, and elementary particiles that form the core physics background for the field. These core areas form the background for coverage of such areas as crystallography, transport phenomena, various theoretical models (electronic, band structure, materials property models, etc), and physical properties of materials (electrical, magnetic, optical, thermal, etc). Coverage of experimental techniques will include, among others, the full range of scattering, microscopy, and spectroscopy techniques.
Encyclopedia of Mathematical Physics by Gregory L. Naber (Editor); Jean-Pierre Françoise (Editor); Tsou Sheung Tsun (Editor)
Call Number: QC20 .E63x 2006
ISBN: 0125126603
Publication Date: 2006-06-05
The Encyclopedia of Mathematical Physics provides a complete resource for researchers, students and lecturers with an interest in mathematical physics. It enables readers to access basic information on topics peripheral to their own areas, to provide a repository of the core information in the area that can be used to refresh the researcher's own memory banks, and aid teachers in directing students to entries relevant to their course-work. The Encyclopedia does contain information that has been distilled, organised and presented as a complete reference tool to the user and a landmark to the body of knowledge that has accumulated in this domain. It also is a stimulus for new researchers working in mathematical physics or in areas using the methods originating from work in mathematical physics by providing them with focused high quality background information.
Applied Superconductivity: Handbook on Devices and Applications by Paul Seidel (Editor)
Call Number: Online
ISBN: 9783527412099
Publication Date: 2015-03-23
This wide-ranging presentation of applied superconductivity, from fundamentals and materials right up to the details of many applications, is an essential reference for physicists and engineers in academic research as well as in industry. The main benefit of this work lies in its broad coverage of significant applications in magnets, power engineering, electronics, sensors and quantum metrology.
Encyclopedia of Nanotechnology by Bharat Bhushan (Editor)
Call Number: Online
ISBN: 9789048197514
Publication Date: 2014-07-08
The Encyclopedia of Nanotechnology provides a comprehensive and multi-disciplinary reference to the many fields relevant to the general field of nanotechnology. It aims to be a comprehensive and genuinely international reference work and will be aimed at graduate students, researchers, and practitioners. The Encyclopedia of Nanotechnology introduces a large number of terms, devices and processes which are related to the multi-disciplinary field of Nanotechnology.
