Book Synopsis Scanning Probe Studies of Structural and Functional Properties of Ferroelectric Domains and Domain Walls by : Philippe Tückmantel
Download or read book Scanning Probe Studies of Structural and Functional Properties of Ferroelectric Domains and Domain Walls written by Philippe Tückmantel and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-04-26 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis explores the fascinating properties of domain walls in ferroelectric materials. Domain walls can be used as model systems to study fundamental aspects of interface physics, such as crackling noise, with implications extending to a broad variety of systems, from material fracture and earthquakes to solar flares and collective decision making. Ferroelectric domain walls also show functional properties absent from the domains themselves, such as enhanced conduction leading to the tantalizing possibility of reconfigurable nanoelectronic circuitry where domain walls are active components. This work discusses the crackling physics of domain walls in thin films of Pb(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3, as well as links between the local conductivity of domain walls and nanoscale geometrical distortions due to defects, and discusses unusual polarization textures with rotational components at crossings of ferroelastic twin domains. The results presented in this thesis have important implications for the experimental study of crackling systems.

Book Synopsis Controlled Nanoscale Motion by : Heiner Linke
Download or read book Controlled Nanoscale Motion written by Heiner Linke and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-02-09 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the size of a machine approaches the nanometer scale, thermal fluctuations become large compared to the energies that drive the motor. The control of motion at the nanoscale therefore requires physical understanding and technical approaches that are fundamentally different from those that are successful at the macroscale. This volume provides an introduction to the state-of-the-art of controlled nanoscale motion in biological and artificial systems. Topics include the control and function of protein motors, the physics of non-equilibrium Brownian motion, and the physics and fabrication of synthetic molecular motors. The chapters in this book are based on selected contributions on the 2005 Nobel Symposium to Controlled Nanoscale Motion and are written by leading experts in their fields.

Book Synopsis Mathematical Implications of Einstein-Weyl Causality by : Hans Jürgen Borchers
Download or read book Mathematical Implications of Einstein-Weyl Causality written by Hans Jürgen Borchers and published by Springer. This book was released on 2007-02-22 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a systematic approach to such fundamental questions as: What mathematical structures does Einstein-Weyl causality impose on a point-set that has no other previous structure defined on it? The author proposes an axiomatization of the physics inspired notion of Einstein-Weyl causality and investigating the consequences in terms of possible topological spaces. One significant result is that the notion of causality can effectively be extended to discontinuum.

Book Synopsis Dynamical Heterogeneities in Glasses, Colloids, and Granular Media by : Ludovic Berthier
Download or read book Dynamical Heterogeneities in Glasses, Colloids, and Granular Media written by Ludovic Berthier and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2011-07-14 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of the solid materials we use in everyday life, from plastics to cosmetic gels exist under a non-crystalline, amorphous form: they are glasses. Yet, we are still seeking a fundamental explanation as to what glasses really are and to why they form. In this book, we survey the most recent theoretical and experimental research dealing with glassy physics, from molecular to colloidal glasses and granular media. Leading experts in this field present broad and original perspectives on one of the deepest mysteries of condensed matter physics, with an emphasis on the key role played by heterogeneities in the dynamics of glassiness.
