Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan

This book is devoted to investigations of non-stationary electromagnetic processes. It introduces the Volterra integral equation method more widely to the electromagnetic community. The explicit mathematical theory is combined with examples of its application in electromagnetic devices, optoelectronics, and photonics, where time-domain methods become a powerful tool for modeling. Particular consideration is given to electromagnetic transients in time-varying media and their potential applications.

From a chemistry aspect, graphene is the extrapolated extreme of condensed polycyclic hydrocarbon molecules to infinite size and the concept of aromaticity is applicable. Interesting physics and chemistry issues are pronounced in nanosized graphene (nanographene), as we recognize the importance of the shape of nanographene in understanding its electronic structure. This book discusses the fundamental issues on the electronic, magnetic, and chemical properties of condensed polycyclic hyodrocarbon molecules: nanographene and graphene.

Nikos Tagmatarchis

Hiroyuki Shima and Motohiro Sato

National Hellenic Research Foundation, Athens, Greece

Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan

This book covers the nomenclature and modeling of carbon nanomaterials, includes examples of surfaces and thin films of fullerenes, and examines the morphology and structure of carbon nanotubes and the characterization of peapod materials with the aid of transmission electron microscopy. It also presents electro-optical properties and self-assembly, followed by strategies for the chemical functionalization of carbon nanohorns and endohedral metallofullerenes. The applications of endohedral metallofullerenes in quantum computing and functionalized carbon nanotubes in medicine conclude this fascinating overview of the field.

Carbon nanotubes offer huge potential in so many fields due in part to their significant mechanical properties, including extraordinary rigidity, resilience, toughness, and flexibility. Mechanical deformation of carbon nanotubes is known to cause considerable changes in their physical and chemical properties through the nontrivial structure-property correlation. A strong understanding of their deformation mechanism and available geometry is, therefore, crucial to developing nanotube-based applications. This book concentrates on the remarkable mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes, covering theoretical and experimental progresses from the last decade.

Spectroscopic Techniques and Hindered Molecular Motion

Techniques in High Pressure Neutron Scattering

Ferid Bashirov

Stefan Klotz

Kazan Federal University, Russia

Université P&M Curie, Paris, France

The theory of hindered motions of small molecules and molecular fragments in crystals and liquids allows one to obtain detailed knowledge of both the crystal structure and the dynamical behavior of molecules. Application of the theory to describe phenomena, such as NMR relaxation rates and spectral line broadening, expands the power of many spectroscopy techniques. This book compares the theoretical approach with recent experimental results. It covers the extended angular jump model; angular autocorrelation functions; dielectric, optical, and neutron scattering spectroscopy applications; and NMR spin-lattice relaxation applications.

One of the first books to gather recent methods that allow neutron scattering well beyond 10 GPa, this text shows how high pressure neutron scattering can be used to study the structure and dynamics of a wide range of materials. It describes various solutions spanning two to three orders of magnitude in pressure that have emerged in the past three decades. Many engineering concepts are illustrated through examples of real high pressure devices that have demonstrated their capacity and have produced scientific results.

Advanced Human Design, Cupertino, California, USA

LEPMI, St. Martin d’Heres, France

This work addresses the notion of compression ratios greater than what has been known for random sequential strings in binary and larger radix-based systems as applied to those traditionally found in Kolmogorov complexity. A culmination of the author’s decade-long research that began with his discovery of a compressible random sequential string, the book maintains a theoreticalstatistical level of introduction suitable for mathematical physicists. It discusses the application of ternary-, quaternary-, and quinary-based systems in statistical communication theory, computing, and physics.

This book introduces a new graphs-based language called Formal Graphs for representing the mathematical equations found in a large number of scientific domains, including mechanics, physical chemistry, dynamics, solid state physics, rheology, surface energy, electrochemistry, and chemical reactivity. This elementary approach consists of drawing links and nodes on a graph, instead of writing algebraic equations. The graphs encourage a visual, unified comprehension of the relationships between physical concepts and variables, properties, and operators.

Self-field Theory

Adaptive Motion Compensation in Radiotherapy

A New Mathematical Description of Physics

Edited by

Anthony H.J. Fleming

Martin J. Murphy

Biophotonics Research Institute, Highett, Australia

Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, USA

This is the first text on the topic of self-field theory (SFT)—a new mathematical description of physics distinct from quantum field theory (QFT), which is the physical theory of choice by physicists at the present time. SFT is a recent development that has evolved from the classical electromagnetics of the electron’s self-fields that were studied by Abraham and Lorentz in the early 1900s. Due to its bi-spinorial motions for particles and fields that obviate uncertainty, SFT is capable of obtaining closed-form solution for all atomic structures rather than the probabilistic solutions of QFT.

This book provides the first detailed treatment of online interventional techniques for motion compensation radiotherapy. It explains how adaptive motion intervention is imaging-intensive and relies on near real-time image acquisition and processing. The book discusses the necessary motion detection methodology, repositioning methodology, and how to interpret and respond to target movement data in real time. It covers methods of detection and correction and then offers examples. It also gives attention to the distinct problems in dose planning and delivery posed by each adaptation technology.
