Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Understanding the origin of spatio-temporal order in open systems far from thermal equilibrium and the selection mechanisms of spatial struc tures and their symmetries is a major theme of present day research into the structures of continuous matter. The development of methods for pro ducing spatially ordered microstructures in solids by non-equilibrium methods opens the door to many technological applications. It is also be lieved that the key to laminar/turbulence transitions in fluids lies in the achievement of spatio-temporal order. Let us also emphasize the fact that the idea of self-organization in it self is at the origin of a reconceptualisation of science. Indeed, the appear ance of order which usually has been associated with equilibrium phase transitions appears to be characteristic of systems far from thermal equi librium. This phenomenon which was considered exceptional at first now the rule in driven systems. The chemical oscillations obtained appears to be in the Belousov-Zhabotinskii reaction were initially considered to be ther modynamically impossible and were rejected by a large number of chemists. Now these oscillations and related phenomena (waves, chaos, etc. ) are the subject of intensive research and new classes of chemical oscil lators have been recently discovered. Even living organisms have long been considered as the result of chance rather than necessity. Such points of view are now abandoned under the overwhelming influence of spatio-tem poral organization phenomena in various domains ranging from physics to biology via chemistry, nonlinear optics, and materials science .…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The present volume includes most of the material of the invited lectures delivered at the NATO Advanced Study Institute 'Morphogenesis through the interplay of nonlinear chemical instabilities and elastic active media' held from 2th to 14th July 2007 at the Institut d'Etudes Scientifiques de Cargèse , in Corsica (France). This traditional place to organize Summer Schools and Workshops in a well equipped secluded location at the border of the Mediterranean sea has, over many years now, earned an increasing deserved reputation. Non-linear dynamics of non equilibrium systems has worked its way into a great number of fields and plays a key role in the understanding of se- organization and emergence phenomena in domains as diverse as chemical reactors, laser physics, fluid dynamics, electronic devices and biological morphogenesis. In the latter case, the viscoelastic properties of tissues are also known to play a key role. The control and formulation of soft responsive or 'smart' materials has been a fast growing field of material science, specially in the area of po- mer networks, due to their growing applications in bio-science, chemical sensors, intelligent microfluidic devices, . . Nature is an important p- vider of active materials whether at the level of tissues or at that of s- cellular structures. As a consequence, the fundamental understanding of the physical mechanisms at play in responsive materials also shines light in the understanding of biological artefacts.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book provides an in-depth analysis of the hydrodynamics of two-dimensional (2D) electronic systems, with a particular focus on graphene and other Dirac materials. It explores the theoretical framework and numerical simulations to uncover the potential of plasmonic instabilities in advancing nanotechnology. Moreover, the book also addresses the collective behaviour of quasiparticles in 2D materials and offers insights into the complex interplay between hydrodynamic behaviours and plasmonic phenomena. The main topics covered in this book include the hydrodynamic description of charge carriers, nonlinear waves, and topological effects in 2D electronic systems. It provides a comprehensive treatment of the Boltzmann equation to derive fluid-like transport equations, which are then used to study the collective responses and behaviours of these systems. The book also relies on the concept of electrostatic excitations, the plasmons, as an additional fluid and explores their effects and interplay with the charge carriers. One of the significant contributions of this book is the investigation of plasmonic instabilities and their potential applications in creating new active nanodevices, such as THz radiation sources. The theoretical findings are supported by extensive numerical simulations, providing a deeper understanding of the principles governing electronic flow in 2D materials. Further, this work also examines the nonlinear dynamics of electrohydrodynamics, revealing phenomena such as solitary waves, and the criteria for their occurrence. Lastly, the novel aspects of topological efects on the charge flow are also investigated. The importance of this work lies in its dual contribution to fundamental research and practical applications. On the theoretical side, it advances our understanding of the hydrodynamic regime of 2D materials and the transient and dynamic responses of these systems. On the practical side, it proposes novel device implementations, such as plasmonics oscillators and waveguides. On that topic, the book addresses the challenges of these devices, offering solutions to enhance controllability and to boost performance as well. This book is essential for graduate students, researchers, and professionals in the fields of quantum plasmas, 2D materials, and plasmonics. It is particularly valuable for plasma scientists interested in exploring 2D materials and condensed matter physicists who wish to study the hydrodynamic regime and the dynamic responses of these systems. By providing a detailed and comprehensive understanding of these advanced topics, this book paves the way for future research and technological innovations in the rapidly evolving fields of electrohydrodynamics and plasmonics.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - On March 14-18, 1983 a workshop on 'Chemical Instabilities: Applications in Chemistry, Engineering, Geology, and Materials Science' was held in Austin, Texas, U.S.A. It was organized jointly by the University of Texas at Austin and the Universite Libre de Bruxelles and sponsored qy NATO, NSF, the University of Texas at Austin, the International Solvay Institutes and the Ex xon Corporation. The present Volume includes most of the material of the in vited lectures delivered in the workshop as well as material from some posters, whose content was directly related to the themes of the invited lectures. In ,recent years, problems related to the stability and the nonlinear dynamics of nonequilibrium systems invaded a great num ber of fields ranging from abstract mathematics to biology. One of the most striking aspects of this development is that subjects reputed to be 'classical' and 'well-established' like chemistry, turned out to give rise to a rich variety of phenomena leading to multiple steady states and hysteresis, oscillatory behavior in time, spatial patterns, or propagating wave fronts. The primary objective of the workshop was to bring together researchers actively engaged in fields in which instabilities and nonlinear phenomena similar to those observed in chemistry are of current and primary concern : chemical engineering (especially surface catalysis), combustion (dynamics of ignition, flame sta bili t;y), interfaces (emulsification, dendritic growth), geology (regularly repeated patterns of mineralization 1n a variety of spabe scales), and materials science (dynamical solidification, behavior of matter under irradiation).…
