Analogue Gravity Phenomenology
Analogue Spacetimes and Horizons, from Theory to Experiment
Language: English
Release Date: August 13, 2013
Analogue Gravity Phenomenology is a collection of contributions that cover a vast range of areas in physics, ranging from surface wave propagation in fluids to nonlinear optics. The underlying common aspect of all these topics, and hence the main focus and perspective from which they are explained...
Electroweak Symmetry Breaking
By Dynamically Generated Masses of Quarks and Leptons
Language: English
Release Date: May 30, 2014
With this thesis the author contributes to the development of a non-mainstream but long-standing approach to electroweak symmetry breaking based on an analogy with superconductivity. Electroweak symmetry breaking is assumed to be caused by dynamically generated masses of typical fermions, i.e., of...
A Trajectory Description of Quantum Processes. II. Applications
A Bohmian Perspective
Language: English
Release Date: September 13, 2013
Trajectory-based formalisms are an intuitively appealing way of describing quantum processes because they allow the use of "classical" concepts. Beginning as an introductory level suitable for students, this two-volume monograph presents (1) the fundamentals and (2) the applications of the...
Strong Nonlinear Oscillators
Analytical Solutions
Language: English
Release Date: May 29, 2017
This textbook presents the motion of pure nonlinear oscillatory systems and various solution procedures which give the approximate solutions of the strong nonlinear oscillator equations. It presents the author’s original method for the analytical solution procedure of the pure nonlinear oscillator...
Quantum Entanglement in Electron Optics
Generation, Characterization, and Applications
Language: English
Release Date: May 30, 2013
This monograph forms an interdisciplinary study in atomic, molecular, and quantum information (QI) science. Here a reader will find that applications of the tools developed in QI provide new physical insights into electron optics as well as properties of atoms & molecules which, in turn, are useful...

Language: English
Release Date: October 3, 2012
Language: English
Release Date: October 3, 2012
The purpose of this book is to thoroughly prepare the reader for research in string theory at an intermediate level. As such it is not a compendium of results but intended as textbook in the sense that most of the material is organized in a pedagogical and self-contained fashion.
Beyond the...
Metastable Glassy States Under External Perturbations
Monitoring the Effects of Compression and Shear-strain
Language: English
Release Date: June 27, 2017
This thesis presents a theoretical analysis of the behavior of glasses under external perturbations, i.e. compression and shear straining. Written in a pedagogical style, it explains every facet of the problem in detail, including many crucial steps that cannot be found in the existing literature—making...
Weak-Coupling Theory of Topological Superconductivity
The Case of Strontium Ruthenate
Language: English
Release Date: July 25, 2017
This thesis sheds important new light on the puzzling properties of Strontium Ruthenate. Using a sophisticated weak-coupling approach, exact within certain limits, it shows that proper treatment of spin-orbit and multi-band effects is crucial to the physics. Based on the results of these calculations,...
Dissipative Solitons in Reaction Diffusion Systems
Mechanisms, Dynamics, Interaction
Language: English
Release Date: March 27, 2013
Why writing a book about a specialized task of the large topic of complex systems? And who will read it? The answer is simple: The fascination for a didactically valuable point of view, the elegance of a closed concept and the lack of a comprehensive disquisition.
The fascinating part is that...
