Product Description: This volume reports recent development in nuclear structure physics and closely related topics. Particularly, it centers on new methodologies and recent applications of the nuclear shell model such as quantum Monte Carlo methods, large-scale shell model calculations and microscopic theories of effective interactions...read more

Product Description: This proceedings volume describes many-body effects in highly correlated systems wih special emphasis on metal clusters and transition from the free atom to the solid state limit and on strong laser field effects. The interdisciplinary nature of the subject should be stressed: clusters are a novel area of research, involving atomic, molecular, solid state and nuclear physics...read more

Recent years have witnessed a resurgence in the kinetic approach to dynamic many-body problems. Modern kinetic theory offers a unifying theoretical framework within which a great variety of seemingly unrelated systems can be explored in a coherent way. Kinetic methods are currently being applied in such areas as the dynamics of colloidal suspensions, granular material flow, electron transport in mesoscopic systems, the calculation of Lyapunov exponents and other properties of classical many-body systems characterised by chaotic behaviour. The present work focuses on Brownian motion, dynamical systems, granular flows, and quantum kinetic theory. (view table of contents)

Product Description: Subjects at the forefront of many-particle research, like high-temperature superconductivity, the quantum Hall effect, heavy fermions, tunneling of quantal systems with many degrees of freedom, Monte Carlo calculations on a lattice etc...read more

Product Description: Multibody dynamics started with the ideas of Jacob and Daniel Bernoul­ li and later on with d'Alembert's principle. In establishing a solution for the problem of the center of oscillation for a two-mass-pendulum Jacob Ber­ noulli spoke about balancing the profit-and-Ioss account with respect to the motion of the two masses...read more
