Product Description: The phenomenon of hopping, in which a particle executes a series of jumps between discrete states, has a fundamental role in a wide range of solid state transport phenomena. In these proceedings, acknowledged experts in the field describe important recent progress in developing the phenomenology of hopping processes and applying it to different systems, including crystalline and amorphous semiconductors, glasses, polymers, mesoscopic conductors and high temperature superconductors...read more

Product Description: Equilibrium Thermodynamics gives a comprehensive but concise course in the fundamentals of classical thermodynamics. Although the subject is essentially classical in nature, illustrative material is drawn widely from modern physics and free use is made of microscopic ideas to illuminate it...read more
