Bøker i Handbook of Metal Physics-serien

Aimed at researchers who are working in a field of quasicrystals to provide a reference to developments and ideas in the field and also at graduate students, who intend to study quasicrystals, to provide introduction of ideas. This title features comprehensive reviews by experts in the field. It covers introduction of quasicrystals by experts.

Describes different types of chain systems. This book places emphasis on illustrating the special phenomena that occur in such quasi-one-dimensional systems, and how theoretical and experimental efforts have been used in identifying those properties that are specific for one-dimensional systems from those of quasi-one-dimensional systems.

The Heavy-Fermions (sometimes known as Heavy-Electrons) is a loosely defined collection of intermetallic compounds containing rare-earth (mostly Ce) or actinide (mostly U) elements. This book offers a summary as well as a critical review of the theoretical and experimental work done on Heavy Fermions. It provides research references.

Describes the effect of a magnetic field on the electron transport leading to changes in the resistance. Other aspects of multilayers systems, such as stability, growth, confinement are addressed in this work. It describes the methods used in such work, with emphasis on density functional and spin density functional theories.

Describes the structure of metallic nanoparticles, the experimental and theoretical techniques by which this is determined, and the models employed to facilitate understanding. This book examines the science behind the potential of metallic nanoparticles in chemical synthesis, catalysis, and the magnetic separation of biomolecules.
