Warm Dense Matter (WDM) occupies a loosely defined region of phase space intermediate between solid, liquid, gas, and plasma, and typically shares characteristics of two or more of these phases. WDM is generally associated with the combination of strongly coupled ions and moderately degenerate electrons,...
Surprises in Theoretical Casimir Physics
Quantum Forces in Inhomogeneous Media
Language: English
Release Date: November 19, 2014
