Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The aim of this book is to review recent achievements in the theoretical investigations of the electronic structure, optical, magneto-optical (MO), and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) properties of compounds and Multilayered structures. Chapter 1 of this book is of an introductory character and presents the theoretical foundations of the band theory of solids such as the density functional theory for ground state properties of solids including local density approximation (LDA). It also presents some modifications to the LDA, such as gradient correction, self-interaction correction, LDA+U method, orbital polarization correction, GW approximation, and dynamical mean-field theory. The description of the magneto-optical effects and linear response theory are also presented. The book describes the MO properties for a number of 3d materials, such as elemental ferromagnetic metals (Fe, Co and Ni) and paramagnetic metals in external magnetic fields (Pd and Pt), some important 3d compounds such as XPt3 (X=V, Cr, Mn, Fe and Co), Heusler alloys, chromium spinel chalcogenides, MnB and strongly correlated magnetite Fe304. It also describes the recent achievements in both the experimental and theoretical investigations of the electronic structure, optical and MO properties of transition metal multilayered structures (MLS). The book also presents the MO properties of f band ferromagnetic materials: Tm, Nd, Sm, Ce and La monochalcogenides, some important Yb compounds, SmB6 and Nd3S4, UFe2, U3X4 (X=P, As, Sb, Bi, Se and Te), UCu2P2, UCuP2, UCuAs2, UAsSe, URhA1, UGa2 and UPd3. Within the total group of alloys and compounds, we discuss their MO spectra in relationship to: the spin-orbit coupling strength, the magnitude of the local magnetic moment, the degree of hybridization in the bonding, the half-metallic character, or, equivalently, the Fermi level filling of the bandstructure, the intraband plasma frequency, and the influence of the crystal structure. In the last chapter results of recent theoretical investigations on the MXCD in various representative transition metal 4f and 5f systems are presented.…

Zustand: Very good. First Edition. Original draft screenplay for this sobering Afterschool Special on the dangers of drunk driving, starring Michelle Pfeiffer, Val Kilmer, Mare Winningham, and the great Grace Zabriskie as the mother nobody listens to. The star-studded ONE TOO MANY aired on May 1, 1985, as the seventh episode of the 13th season, close to dead center of the long-running series. This tragic drama includes in-story depictions of the scare-tactic educational films once common in high school sex- and driver-ed classes (after viewing a gruesome close-up of a road accident victim, "Beth" (Winningham) compares and contrasts the previous year's "pictures of people with VD"). Where old-school driver's-ed films merely showed the consequences of reckless driving, ONE TOO MANY adds a layer and shows the consequences of ignoring those films - effectively an afterschool special about the danger of ignoring afterschool specials. Harmon's screenplay also shows insight in its choice of threatened outcomes: the mere thought of dying in a car accident won't scare a teen who plans to live forever. But what if your drunk boyfriend was Val Kilmer, and he had too many beers, and he wouldn't give up his keys without a fight, and you killed your best friend with his car just because your nerves were on edge, and they sent you to jail even though you were Michelle Pfeiffer and you never meant to hurt anybody? That's something to really think about. 11'' x 8.5''. Original brad-bound wrappers. Xeroxed text on rectos only. 57 pages. Light creasing and edgewear, red pen to front cover/title page, small stain to rear cover/last page. …
