Quantum physics is the backbone of modem science: therefore, a correct first step is essential for students' success in many different disciplines. Unfortunately, many didactic approaches are still complicated, potentially confusing and often historically ...
The Bases of Chemical Thermodynamics: Volume 1 In this volume (volume 1), the fundamental aspects of thermodynamics are presented. The first and second laws of thermodynamics are illustrated. The need to define thermodynamic temperature and the nature of e ...
The Bases of Chemical Thermodynamics: Volume 2 In this volume (volume 2), the tools necessary to study and understand systems in which chemical reactions can take place are developed. The variables of reaction are the keys to this understanding. Criteria f ...
Equil. aspects in biotechnol. and thermodn. as the main theory underlying them have thus far received relatively little attention. As a consequence, design and development of biotechnogical processes is still carried out today in an relatively empirical wa ...
Simplified vibrational densities of states for five different carbonates are constructed using measured IR and Raman spectra. From the spectroscopic models we calculate thermodynamic and thermoelastic properties of magnesite, calcite, aragonite, dolomite, ...
Chemical reactions and chemical equilibria. Thermodynamics of ideal and real solutions. Statistical Mechanics, microcanonical ensemble, canonical ensemble. ...
A review with 6 refs. on research done at the Tech. University at Delft and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technol. at Lausanne on the thermodn. of complex bioprocesses, esp. thermodn. effects on proteins. [on SciFinder (R)] ...
A ferroelectric crystal tends to form domains. Internal and external fields can cause domain walls to move, resulting in macroscopic phenomena such as aging, creep and fatigue. Domain evolution is a nonequilibrium thermodynamic process. The domain pattern, ...
We report on time-resolved and steady-state photoluminescence studies of GaAs/AlGaAs V-groove quantum wire structures. Steady-state photoluminescence experiments are performed in the temperature range from 8 to 200 It. We evaluate the relation between phot ...
We investigate the nonlinear optical dynamics of excitons and trions in CdTe modulation-doped quantum wells by time and spectrally resolved pump-probe experiments. We find that the nonlinearities induced by excitons are different from those due to the pres ...
