Covers methods for synthesizing solid state compounds, including high temperature ceramic and hydrothermal methods, and the challenges of avoiding volatile reactants.
Explores the historical significance of the 1983 CECAM workshop on the free-energy of solids and its impact on developing free-energy methods for hard-core models.
Explores the concept of time in quantum mechanics, the Heisenberg uncertainty relation, time-resolved photoemission, attosecond time scales, and spin-orbit interaction spectroscopy.
