[pdf] Physics: Principles With Applications

Presents the first unified exposition of the physical principles at the heart of NanoMEMS-based devices and applications.

Powder diffraction is one of the primary techniques used to characterize materials, providing structural information even when the crystallite size is too small for single crystal x-ray diffraction methods.

This book presents some advanced applications in radiation effects, thermal hydraulics, and radionuclide migration in the environment. This book covers the advances in identifying radiation effects in dense gas-metal systems, application of dense granular materials as high power targets in accelerator driven systems and irradiation facilities, evaluation of boiling heat transfer in narrow channels, and application of fluorescence quenching techniques to monitor uranium migration.

This book provides the principles of continuous wave and pulsed ESR techniques and illustrates the applications at a level that is accessible to masters and doctoral students as well as to scientists in physical chemistry/chemical physics, catalysis and environmental sciences, polymer science, free radical chemistry in bio-chemistry and medicine, materials science, radiation dosimetry and dating, as well as radiation physics and chemistry.
