Product Description: Nonl inear ideas of a "sol iton" variety have been a unifying influence on the na tura 1 sci ences for many decades. HO /ever, thei r uni versa 1 a pprec i at i on in the physics community as a genuine paradigm is very much a current develop ment...read more

Product Description: Proceedings of a NATO ARW held in Florence, Italy, June 7--13, 1990

Product Description: There is considerable interest in the intrinsically multiscale structure and dynamics of complex electronic oxides, especially since these materials include those of technological importance, such as colossal magnetoresistance manganites and cuprate high temperature superconductors...read more

Product Description: This book addresses the issues of nonlinearity and disorder. It covers mathematical and numerical techniques as well as applications of nonlinearity and disorder. The analysis of continuous and discrete systems is also shown.

Product Description: The focus of the workshop is the role of crystal lattices, ie atomic structure, phonons, lattice distortions and the mechanism of high temperature superconductivity in oxides. In spite of the intense research effort during the last five years the mechanisms of high temperature superconductivity still remains unknown...read more

Product Description: The Sixth Annual Conference of the Center for Nonlinear Studies at the Los Alamos National Laboratory was held May 5-9, 1986, on the topic "Nonlinearity in Condensed Matter: Lessons from the Past and Prospects for the Future. " As conference organizers, we felt that the study of non­ linear phenomena in condensed matter had matured to the point where it made sense to take stock of the numerous lessons to be learned from a variety of contexts where nonlinearity plays a fundamental role and to evaluate the prospects for the growth of this general discipline...read more
