Verlagswerbung: 16 Jahre trug Angela Merkel die Regierungsverantwortung für Deutschland, führte das Land durch zahlreiche Krisen und prägte mit ihrem Handeln und ihrer Haltung die deutsche und internationale Politik und Gesellschaft. Doch natürlich wurde Angela Merkel nicht als Kanzlerin geboren [...]

This book is devoted to convergent-beam diffraction - a method capable of providing remarkably accurate crystallographic information. The description of convergent-beam electron diffraction and especially of LACBED is preceded by several preparatory chapters, in which the principles of diffraction and the nature of electron-matter interactions are clearly set out. [...]

Particle accelerators have many fundamental and applied research applications in physics, materials science, chemistry, and life science. To accelerate electrons or hadrons to the required energy, magnets of highly uniform fields are needed, whose design and optimization are some of the most critical aspects of accelerator construction. [...]

As a complex self-bound quantum many-body system, atomic nuclei exhibit various shapes due to significant long-range multipole-multipole interactions among nucleons. Studies of these shapes and the associated nuclear moments have deepened our understanding of simple patterns in complex nuclear systems and are connected to fundamental questions in particle physics, astrophysics, and beyond. [...]

An exceptionally accessible introduction to quantum field theory. Quantum field theory is by far the most spectacularly successful theory in physics, but also one of the most mystifying. [...]
