As such, it represents an invaluable data source for all clinical and research cytogeneticists. The Essential Data series provides rapid access to the core data required by researchers on a daily basis, in convenient pocket-sized volumes.

Book Description

This book provides a detailed description of the quantum confinement of electrons and phonons in semiconductor wells, superlattices and quantum wires, and shows how this affects their mutual interactions. It discusses the transition from microscopic to continuum models, emphasizing the use of quasi-continuum theory to describe the confinement of optical phonons and electrons. The hybridization of optical phonons and their interactions with electrons are treated, as are other electron scattering mechanisms. The book concludes with an account of the electron distribution function in three-, two- and one-dimensional systems, in the presence of electrical or optical excitation. This text will be of great use to graduate students and researchers investigating low-dimensional semiconductor structures, as well as to those developing new devices based on these systems.

Product Description

Volume IX will be devoted to new materials (nanotubes, quantum dots) and new techniques (synchrotron radiation scattering and cavity confined scattering. In the past five years Raman and Brillouin scattering have taken a place among the most important research and characterization methods for carbon nanotubes. It is beginning to be used for other nanotube materials. It is also being used in the investigation of semiconductor quantum dots, in particular collections of them which order self-assemble) automatically as two-dimensional lattices. Among the novel techniques discussed in this volume are those which use synchrotron radiation as light source. Improvements in the intensity and beam quality of modern synchrotron sources fully dedicated to spectroscopic work have made possible their use as sources for light scattering spectroscopy. In the case of scattering by phonons, new methods of beam monochromatization have allowed resolutions better than 10 wave numbers, a fact which has lead to phonon dispersion measurements throughout the whole Brillouin zone. This development has been applied to the measurement of phonon dispersion relations in very small samples (of the order of 1 cubic mm) which cannot be investigated by inelastic neutron scattering. Also, the use of resonant Raman scattering by electronic excitations has allowed the determination of electronic energy bands in a number of materials. Another approach to Raman spectroscopy is to enhance its efficiency by using resonant cavities which are part of the sample. Electromagnetic resonances have been already used for some time. More recently, they have been combined with acoustic resonances to obtain large enhancements in Raman efficiencies.

Book Description

Drop a pebble in a pond and the results are predictable: circular waves flow from the point of impact. Hit a point on a crystalline solid, however, and the expanding waves are highly nonspherical; the elasticity of a crystal is anisotropic. This book provides a fresh look at the vibrational properties of crystalline solids, elucidated by new imaging techniques. From the megahertz vibrations of ultrasound to the near-terahertz vibrations associated with heat, the underlying elastic anisotropy of the crystal asserts itself. Phonons are elementary vibrations that affect many properties of solids--thermal, electrical, and magnetic. This text covers the basic theory and experimental observations of phonon propagation in solids. Phonon imaging techniques provide physical insights into such topics as phonon focusing, lattice dynamics, and ultrasound propagation. Scattering of phonons from interfaces, superlattices, defects, and electrons are treated in detail. The book includes many striking and original illustrations.

Phonon Imaging can change your life.......2000-09-05

Jim Wolfe, the guru of the Phonon Imaging Movement, taught me to relax using Acoustic Waves. I used to be a stressed junior faculty member, but now I'm a confident young scientist thanks to critical-cone channelling of my energies. I've introduced all my friends to phonon imaging!

Book Description

Surface Science is understood as a relatively young scientific discipline, concerned with the physical and chemical properties of phenomena on clean and covered solid surfaces, studied under a variety of conditions. The adsorption of atoms and molecules on solid surfaces is, for example, such a condition, connected with more or less drastic changes of all surface properties. An adsorption event is frequently observed in nature and found to be of technical importance in many industrial processes. For this reason, Surface Science is interdisciplinary by its very nature, and as such an important intermediary between fundamental and applied research.

Book Description

This volume is the eighth of a well-established series devoted to inelastic light scattering by solids, both as a physical effect and as a spectroscopic technique. It appears jointly with volume VII and can be considered to be its continuation. Emphasis is placed on fullerenes, Raman spectroscopy of semiconductors, surfaces, and interfaces, and coherent phonons. A survey of some of the progress in other aspects of Raman spectroscopy, in particular in the field of semiconductor nanostructures including the fractional quantum Hall effect, and in Raman spectroscopy of isotopically modified crystals rounds up the description of the present status of the field. It will be useful to advanced students and to all researchers who apply Raman spectroscopy in their work.

Book Description

The residents of Pickax are about to celebrate the 150th anniversary of its founding. But in the midst of all the preparations, Qwill has to take time out to deal with Koko's strange new habit of dropping from balconies and landing in the oddest of places-and a couple that has mysteriously gone missing.

Download Description

"James Qwilleran and his famous felines, Koko and Yum Yum, are back for another mystery-solving stint in the beloved bestselling Cat Who . . . series. While the town of Pickax is swept up in its sesquicentennial celebrations, Koko has developed a strange new hobby: He drops himself from balconies, occasionally landing in the oddest of places. When a young man comes to visit his wealthy relatives, Koko plummets straight onto his head! Meanwhile, a hurricane is brewing, and the visitor's family members soon fall deathly ill. Qwill has his work cut out for him as Pickax-as foreshadowed by Koko-is about to be hit by a bombshell."

Customer Reviews:

Good book at a good price........2007-10-10

I purchased a book from the Cat Who series. The book arrived quickly and as described. The price was reasonable, less than I had found elsewhere.

The Cat Who Dropped a Bombshell .......2007-10-01

I have read all of Lillian Braun's Cat Books and love them. I share them with all my cat loving friends.

The Author Who Wasn't There.......2007-09-11

Hardcore mystery fans may find it a bit of a stretch, but if your taste runs to expertly written and very light fiction, you can't do better than Lillian Jackson Braun's "The Cat Who..." series. Her detective, reporter James Qwilleran, investigates crimes with the aid of his Siamese cats--and the solutions to the crime inevitably rest more upon intution than actual deduction. The premise sounds farfetched, but Braun's work is usually less fanciful than you might expect, and she presents her eccentric characters and stories with great charm.

Unfortunately, the series has been in marked decline since the 2001 THE CAT WHO WENT UP THE CREEK, the publication of which raised speculations about whether or not the book had been ghostwritten by another author. The 2005 THE CAT WHO WENT BANANAS was a marked low point; with the 2006 THE CAT WHO DROPPED A BOMBSHELL, however, the series receives a slight upturn. This is not to say, however, that BOMBSHELL is any less immune to accusations of "ghostwriting;" although better plotted and better written, it simply doesn't read very much like Braun.

In this particularly title, Qwilleran's home attracts the nephew of a much respected and somewhat elderly couple. When wayward Siamese Koko literally drops from a rafter onto the young man's head, Qwill knows something is amiss--but what? Unfortunately, he is distracted by the necessity of participation in the city's 150 anniversary celebrations, too distracted to be aware that murder is afoot.

As noted, BOMBSHELL reads much better than recent entries in the series; that, however, is not saying much, and it does seem likely to me that Braun is no longer actively writing the series but instead generating basic plot ideas for development by others. The book lacks her light, bemused touch. Give it a miss.

GFT, Amazon Reviewer

Avoid this installment.......2007-08-20

Even though this is a short book, there's plenty of repetition of mundane details about goings on in Moose County. I remember when Qwill actually took the time to investigate murders instead of just waiting for a letter from a friend of a friend to arrive and tell him who done it (and how and when). There's one possible murder in this book that never gets solved, but maybe the letter for that one got delayed and will show up in the next book in the series, which I don't plan to read.

The Cat Who Dropped a Bombshell.......2007-06-27

This may not have been one of the best of the series, but it was still pleasant reading. I always enjoy reading about the colorful characters in Moose County.
