The dielectric polarization and associated losses are two main associated effects that are connected through the complex permittivity via its real and imaginary parts respectively. Therefore, the quantitative measure of permittivity is essential for predicting the response of a system, e.g. charge storage characteristics of capacitor/supercapacitor, flux through a charge carrying closed surface, exciton binding energy in soar cells/LEDs, properties of liquid crystals and LCDs, relaxation of dielectrics, microwave absorption effectiveness of shielding materials, response of antenna systems, governing phase velocity of electromagnetic radiation through given medium, designing of metamaterials etc. Permittivity has special relevance in energy storage, energy harvesting, energy conversion, energy transmission, energy dissipation, and even stealth technology; therefore, its thorough understanding is required especially in the context of practical applications. This edited book is the first of its kind that provides a single-source solution to specifically address the fundamentals and applications of permittivity through a comprehensive literature account.]]> https://novapublishers.com/shop/horizons-in-world-physics-volume-308/ Mon, 10 Oct 2022 19:23:13 +0000 https://novapublishers.com/?post_type=product&p=142646 Albert Reimer (Editor) Series: Horizons in World Physics BISAC: SCI055000 This volume includes ten chapters that describe recent advancements in physics research.

The idea of a black hole goes back to Laplace or maybe even earlier to Englishman John Michell, referring to these bodies as ‘dark stars’, way back in 1783. Laplace argued that the largest objects in the universe must become invisible and would hence be dark. When Einstein proposed his general theory of relativity in the early 1900s, Schwarzschild solved the equation (1916) for a spherical star and the solution implied that below a radius (referred to as the Schwarzschild radius), all light and other radiation are trapped inside the star, and it becomes what is called a black hole. With better detection mechanisms, such as the images from the Event Horizon Telescope, the universe of black holes is opening up for astronomical observations and discoveries over all wavelengths. This book covers a wide range of topics related to black holes and their dynamics. **Order the printed version and SAVE 50% on the e-book with Print+eBook.

Therefore, this world could not be studied either theoretically or experimentally. The study of the nature of ball lightning made it possible to discover this world. Pyotr Kapitsa, a Russian scientist, Nobel Prize winner, studying the phenomenon of ball lightning, was forced to admit at the end of his life that this bright nut was too strong for his teeth. At the same time, he suggested that ball lightning is a phenomenon from another world unknown to him. Indeed, he was partly right. He was wrong that ball lightning was related to plasma, but he was right that ball lightning belonged to another world unknown to him. The book describes the features of this world and the properties of its inhabitants. The most known among them is ball lightning. This world we called the world of circulating light. This book is not science fiction. The book is based on over eight dozen articles published since 2003 in leading international physics and optics journals. Although scientists have not been able to unravel the nature of ball lightning for many centuries, it turned out that the explanation is so simple that it is accessible to schoolchildren. Such an explanation can be given without a single formula, recalling only the well-known physical laws from the school curriculum. **Order the printed version and SAVE 50% on the e-book with Print+eBook**]]> https://novapublishers.com/shop/radiation-and-matter/ Thu, 16 Jun 2022 19:51:36 +0000 https://novapublishers.com/?post_type=product&p=125601 Marian Apostol, PhD - Professor, Institute for Physics and Nuclear Engineering, Magurele, Romania Series: Physics Research and Technology BISAC: SCI057000; SCI058000; SCI061000 DOI: https://doi.org/10.52305/ZRBX8691 The book describes the quantum-mechanical motion in the context of the quantum field theory. A relativistic particle requires time and length thresholds in order to move quantum-mechanically, as a consequence of its relativistic rest energy and momentum. The subject is discussed mainly in relation to the Dirac equation for the electron and the electromagnetic interaction. Electromagnetic quantum-mechanical effects are computed. Also, the book presents the theory of the electromagnetic field, the relativistic motion, especially the motion of a charge in the electromagnetic field, as well as the electromagnetic field in matter and the surface electromagnetism.]]> https://novapublishers.com/shop/beyond-special-relativity-looking-for-the-intrinsic-properties-of-space-time/ Sat, 04 Jun 2022 19:28:30 +0000 https://novapublishers.com/?post_type=product&p=124668 Riccardo Zancan - Energy Engineering Student, University of Pisa (UNIPI), Via Angiolo Tommasi, Livorno (LI), Italy Raul Tozzi - State Scientific High School "Federigo Enriques", Regional School Office for Tuscany, Piazza Giacomo Matteotti, Livorno (LI), Italy Series: Physics Research and Technology BISAC: SCI061000 DOI: https://doi.org/10.52305/UOXU1773 What is time?

A. Ibrahim, PhD - School of Physics and Material Studies, Faculty of Applied Sciences, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia Pankaj Kumar Choudhury, PhD - Institute of Microengineering and Nanoelectronics, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Series: Physics Research and Technology BISAC: SCI040000; SCI053000 DOI: https://doi.org/10.52305/CVTQ2987 Second harmonic generation (SHG) has a wide range of applications in today's technological era, including nonlinear optics, quantum optics, lasers, material science, medical science, biological imaging, and high-resolution optical microscopy. In the laser industry, for example, SHG is prudent to create wavelength-specific high-energy lasers. It is also used to measure ultra-short pulse width with autocorrelators. SHG is now indispensable as a spectroscopic imaging tool in applications, such as biophysical characterization of the plasma membrane, biological sensing, disease diagnostics, and investigations of biomolecular interactions at interfaces. Because of its non-destructive detection, ultrafast response, and polarization sensitivity, SHG is exploited to describe crystal structures and materials. The use of SHG to characterize two-dimensional (2D) material structures gives crucial insights into their physical properties, thereby promoting the development of the relevant basic research, leading to the investigation of the potential applications of those materials. Developments in SHG research hold promising potentials of a large class of materials, such as magnetic- and nonmagnetic layered materials, perovskites, antiferromagnetic oxides, II-VI and III-V semiconductors, and nanotubes, for a variety of technological applications. This book focuses on the process of modelling and simulations of the SHG phenomenon in the area of nonlinear and quantum optics. The first chapter provides a visualization of the scientific landscape of research in SHG using scientometric analysis from 1962 to 2020 based on Scopus database. This chapter gives new postgraduate students in the subject useful information on hot themes in SHG research and how they are related to one another. There is also a brief mention of multinational collaborative networks. The following four research chapters look at the SHG from a classical standpoint, using Maxwell's equations to describe the nonlinear optical interaction between the electromagnetic wave and the medium. Such interaction is treated quantum mechanically in the second section of the book, with the SHG process described using a propagating Hamiltonian. As such, the volume adequately describes the SHG from both the classical and quantum mechanical standpoints. This allows the postgraduate researchers, focusing on the nonlinear phenomena, resulting from light-matter interaction, to find the content useful. In the second part of this volume, readers are introduced to a full theoretical analysis of the quantum features generated in certain optical devices, such as a two-waveguide device working under the SHG and coupled waveguide arrays with the combined second- and third-order nonlinear effects. To be more specific, this part discusses how SHG-enabled devices might be a useful source of nonclassical light. This section remains relevant for postgraduate students commencing their studies in quantum optics, where the nonclassical phenomena, such as squeezing and entanglement, require a solid understanding of the underlying techniques, namely the phase space and the analytical perturbative methods. **Order both the printed version and the e-book together and SAVE!**]]>
