Product Description: This book addresses the growing interest in low temperature technologies. Since the subject of low temperature materials and mechanisms is multidisciplinary, the chapters reflect the broadest possible perspective of the field. Leading experts in the specific subject area address the various related science and engineering chemistry, material science, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, metallurgy, and physics...read more

Product Description: Most descriptions of polymers start at room temperature and end at the melting point. This textbook starts at very low temperatures and ends at room temperature. At low temperatures, may processes and relaxations are frozen which allows singular processes or separate relaxations to be studied...read more

Product Description: In this title, the results of observations and investigations of a new phenomenon - changes in the macroscopic characteristics of the plastic deformation of metals and alloys at a superconducting transition - are systematised. In these works it is shown for the first time that the electronic drag of dislocations accompanying low-temperature deformation is effective...read more

Product Description: This book describes collisions between atoms that have been cooled to extremely low temperatures by optical and evaporative cooling techniques. The author reviews the elements of the quantum theory of scattering, and summarizes the theory and experimental techniques of optical cooling and trapping...read more

Product Description: This book focuses on the effect the composition of rubbers and the conditions of their processing have on low-temperature resistance. It considers the nature and development of two physical processes, glass transition and crystallization, determining low-temperature behavior of elastomers...read more

Product Description: Recent discoveries of new materials and improvements in calorimetric techniques have given new impetus to the subject of specific heat. Nevertheless, there is a lack of literature on the subject. This study, which seeks to remedy that, is concerned mainly with the specific heat of matter at ordinary temperatures...read more

Product Description: Arising from a workshop, this book surveys the physics of ultracold atoms and molecules taking into consideration the latest research on ultracold phenomena, such as Bose Einstein condensation and quantum computing. Several reputed authors provide an introduction to the field, covering recent experimental results on atom and molecule cooling as well as the theoretical treatment...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: Book by Prokhvatilov, A. I.

Product Description: "The thirteen contributors to this book formed the nucleus of the materials group of the Cryogenics Division of the National Bureau of Standards. Formed in 1952 they served emerging low-temperature technologies requiring cryogenic materials, such as space, LNG storage and transportation, magnetohydrodynamic energy conversion, fusion, high-energy physics, and other aspects of applied superconductivity...read more
