Hailed as the wonder material of the 21st century, graphene presents a range of possibilities in terms of its technological and industrial uses. This reference text provides the latest comprehensive review of the recent advances in graphene-based research and technology.

This book brings together the latest research by top international research groups developing nanoengineered materials for solid oxide cells, focusing on novel fabrication techniques and cutting-edge characterization tools as well as issues and challenges for the successful integration of the nanoengineering approach for practical cells.

Cryogenics - the science that addresses the production, effects and maintenance of very low temperatures - underpins a range of enabling technologies that impact our daily lives in ways that are not immediately apparent. This book provides a practical, hands-on reference source to promote exploitation and innovation in all areas of cryogenic science and technology. The book is particularly designed to aid those practitioners coming newly into Cryogenics, giving them a context and signposts for where to go for further information. It spans a broad range of applications and undoubtedly will contain new information useful to those already involved with Cryogenics.Key Features: This is devoted to the contemporary uses of cryogenics, informing over a wide area including the technology, key applications and economic impacts.The book is written by experts in the field, providing a best-practice handbook for scientific and industrial users of cryogenic technologies. The book gives readers practical tools/approaches that they can use in their own research or industry setting.The book contains extensive references that will aid further research and study.Provides a broader view, encompassing a range of established and emerging industrial/commercial applications.Links with the British Cryogenics Council's "Fundamentals of Cryogenics" training course to support scientists, technicians and engineers within its academic and industrial membership organizations.

Leadership and Challenges in Medical Physics: A Strategic and Robust Approach aims to help aspiring future medical physics leaders with effective, strategic and robust leadership skills. The author, Carmel Caruana, is the originator and leader of the EFOMP-EUTEMPE module MPE01 on leadership in medical physics.

This book covers small particle ring accelerators and Paul trap simulators for research and proof-of-principle experiments of advanced concepts.

This book has been written in the hope that readers will be able to absorb the key ideas behind algorithmic information theory so that they are in a better position to access the mathematical developments and to apply the ideas to their own areas of interest.

The study of Condensed Matter Physics has evolved over the last decade or so. The scope of Modern Condensed Matter Physics has expanded significantly from traditional solid-state physics and has become a highly interdisciplinary field of research.This book connects modern experimental discoveries with theoretical and fundamental concepts. It introduces the interacting and non-interacting aspects of fermionic systems and the role of topology and symmetry in understanding material properties.The text emphasizes quantum Hall effect, topological insulators and how the discovery of graphene has incited brilliant ideas in both fundamental and applied aspects. The role of interactions is discussed to explain topics including Magnetism and Superconductivity. Topics such as Bose Einstein condensation and superfluid properties of atomic systems in optical lattices are also a key feature of the text. The book offers something different to the field due to the range of topics covered in a pedagogical way for students.Key FeaturesProvides a modern perspective of condensed matter physicsAims to be understandable for studentsProvides significant pedagogical content in the form of derivations and illustrationsPresents advanced topics in a pedagogical manner
