Nanoscale Phase Separation and Colossal Magnetoresistance

Book Description

The study of the spontaneous formation of nanostructures in single crystals is rapidly developing into a dominant field of research in the subject area known as strongly correlated electrons. The structures appear to originate in the competition of phases. This book addresses nanoscale phase separation, focusing on the manganese oxides with colossal magnetoresistance (CMR). The text argues that nanostructures are at the heart of the CMR phenomenon. Other compounds are also addressed, such as high-temperature superconductors, where similar nanostructures exist. Brief contributions by distinguished researchers are also included. The book contains updated information directed at experts, both theorists and experimentalists. Beginning graduate students or postdocs will also benefit from the introductory material of the early chapters, and the book can be used as a reference for an advanced graduate course.

Book Description

The discovery of high-temperature superconductors in 1986 by Bednorz and Müller led worldwide to an explosive growth of the field of superconductivity. This new interest extends to both the fundamental aspects and the technological appli- cations of superconductors. The monograph Magnetic Flux Structures in Superconductors provided an introduction to this field, covering the developments up to its first publication in 1979. Soon after 1986 the book went out of print. However, it continues to be widely used and quoted, and due to the ever growing interest in Magnetic Flux Structures in Superconductors, a second edition is now being made available. An extensive new chapter gives a comprehensive review of developments relevant to high-temperature superconductors. This new edition provides researchers, engineers and other scientists with an introduction to this field; it will also be useful as supplementary reading for graduate courses in low-temperature physics.

A useful reference in type II superconductors.......2000-04-12

This book constitutes a standard reference for those who work in scientific and/or technological aspects of type II superconductors. It reviews in a quite condensed fashion a great deal of the present knowledge on the vortex state of type II superconductors, although it does not include the -intensively explored-mixed state of HTc materials. Quite "esoteric" subjects as the Corbino disk, or the influence of contacts in the noise spectra of type II superconductors are presented. Due to the extension of its scope within the field and its conciseness, it constitutes a nice reference book for those who work in type II superconductors. The only practical drawback is that units and notation are sometimes tricky. Other books in its same style, such as "Irreversible properties of type II superconductors" by Ullmaier (1975) might have the same usefulness, though.

Book Description

This is a clear and up-to-date account of the application of electron-based microscopies to the study of high-Tc superconductors. Written by leading experts, this compilation provides a comprehensive review of scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and scanning transmission electron microscopy, together with details of each technique and its applications. Introductory chapters cover the basics of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, including a chapter devoted to specimen preparation techniques and microanalysis by scanning transmission electron microscopy. Ensuing chapters examine identification of new superconducting compounds, imaging of superconducting properties by low-temperature scanning electron microscopy, imaging of vortices by electron holography and electronic structure determination by electron energy loss spectroscopy. The use of scanning tunneling microscopy for exploring surface morphology, growth processes and the mapping of superconducting carrier distributions is also discussed. Final chapters consider applications of electron microscopy to the analysis of grain boundaries, thin films and device structures. Detailed references are included. This book will interest graduate students and researchers in condensed matter physics and material science.

Book Description

She's recycling glass with plastic.She's passing off store-bought brownies as homemade.And she's thinking of doing more than flirting with that hot college professor#133;WIFE LIVING DANGEROUSLY.She went from being the good girl to the good wife and mother.Married with three kids and living in the "perfect" suburban community, Julia Flanagan plays by the rules and (almost) never lies. Sure, her life could use a little more excitement and her husband has started taking her for granted. But she never dreamed that a truth-telling game at her best friend's beach house would reveal that her buddies think she's boring.Or that she'd take on their challenge to "go forth and do something bad" in a really big way.Now Julia is stepping out, acting out#151;and on the verge of making out with a sexy medieval studies professor. The only question is: Just how far will she dare to go?

Customer Reviews:

great read!.......2007-04-13

I wasn't sure what to expect of this novel, but what I got was a read I couldn't put down. I could really relate to so much of it. Maybe that's why it was both poignant and hysterically funny to me. The main character, Julia, has a wonderful sense of humor in spite of all the crises and drudgery of suburban life. I want more! Please, Sara Susannah Katz, write more!

dissapointed.......2006-09-09

I absolutely love Susannah Katz articles on MSN about dating in the subburbs. I was anxiously awaiting this book. I really didn't feel a connection or have any interest in this character. I was less than impressed with story. when I Katz's teasers on MSN Icould not stop from reading and wanting for her next article. This book was for lack of better words...blah

save your money.......2006-09-09

save your money! this is a horrible, horrible book. pathetic character who basically iclings to her familiarities in the end. where is the 'living dangerously' part?

Fantastic!.......2006-05-16

This book was absolutely amazing! I honestly read it in less than a day because I could not put it down. Although it is listed as a romance, it is really more like reality. Watching the struggles of Julia as she goes from the good little girl to the girl gone bad is both exciting and, at times, saddening. Very descriptive, but allowing one's imagination to soar, the book has just the right amount of detail wthout getting too wordy. I found myself rooting for Evan (largely due to the fact that he reminds me of my husband) as he "courts" Julia, scolding Michael for his inattentiveness, applauding Annie for her brazen attitudes toward most everything while supporting her friend, and cheering Julia in which ever decisions she made. Katz's first novel is a definate must read and a crowning achievement. BRAVO!!!
