Giant Resonances

This volume presents a comprehensive introduction to the study of nuclear structure at finite temperature. By measuring the frequencies of the high-energy photons emitted or absorbed by an atomic nucleus it is possible to visualize the structure of that nucleus. In such experiments it is observed that the atomic nucleus displays resonant behavior, absorbing or emitting photons within a relatively narrow range of frequencies. To study emission processes one measures the y-decay of compound nuclei, and by this means it is possible to probe the structure of the nucleus at finite temperature. This book is divided into two main parts: the study of giant resonances based on the atomic nucleus ground state (zero temperature), and the study of the y-decay of giant resonances from compound (finite temperature) nuclei. As this work is an outgrowth of their lectures to fourth-year students at the University of Milan, the authors have placed special emphasis on the general concepts that form the foundation of the phenomenon of giant resonances. This basic subject matter is supplemented with material taken from work going on at the forefront of research on the structure of hot nuclei. Thus, this volume will serve as an essential reference for both young researchers and experienced practitioners.

Handbook of Magnetic Materials: Volume 18
Volume 18 of the <i>Handbook of Magnetic Materials</i>, as the preceding volumes, has a dual purpose. As a textbook it is intended to help those who wish to be introduced to a given topic in the field of magnetism without the need to read the vast amount of literature published. As a work of reference it is intended for scientists active in magnetism research. To this dual purpose, Volume 18 is composed of topical review articles written by leading authorities. In each of these articles an extensive description is given in graphical as well as in tabular form, much emphasis being placed on the discussion of the experimental material in the framework of physics, chemistry and material science. It provides readers with novel trends and achievements in magnetism.

Magnetic Nano- And Microwires: Design, Synthesis, Properties and Applications
<p>Magnetic nanowires and microwires are key tools in the development of<br>enhanced devices for information technology (memory and data processing) and<br>sensing. Offering the combined characteristics of high density, high speed, and<br>non-volatility, they facilitate reliable control of the motion of magnetic domain<br>walls&#x3b; a key requirement for the development of novel classes of logic and storage<br>devices.</p> <p>Part One introduces the design and synthesis of magnetic nanowires and<br>microwires, reviewing the growth and processing of nanowires and nanowire<br>heterostructures using such methods as sol-gel and electrodeposition<br>combinations, focused-electron/ion-beam-induced deposition, chemical<br>vapour transport, quenching and drawing and magnetic interactions. Magnetic<br>and transport properties, alongside domain walls, in nano- and microwires<br>are then explored in Part Two, before Part Three goes on to explore a wide<br>range of applications for magnetic nano- and microwire devices, including<br>memory, microwave and electrochemical applications, in addition to thermal<br>spin polarization and configuration, magnetocalorific effects and Bloch point<br>dynamics.</p>
