    About this ebook

    Applied Solid State Science: Advances in Materials and Device Research, Volume 2 covers topics about complex oxide materials such as the garnets, which dominate the field of magnetoelasticity and are among the most important laser hosts, and sodalite, which is one of the classic photochromic materials. The book discusses the physics of the interactions of electromagnetic, elastic, and spin waves in single crystal magnetic insulators. The text then describes the mechanism on which inorganic photochromic materials are based, as observed in a variety of materials in single crystal, powder, and glass forms; as well as the chemistry and growth of single crystal materials. Solid state physicists, materials scientists, electrical engineers, and graduate students studying the subjects being discussed will find the book invaluable.

      Clear Evidence Points to Majorana Fermions

      Jul 31, 2017

      After an 80-year quest, researchers have discovered evidence of particles that are their own antiparticles. These “Majorana fermions” could one day help make quantum computers more robust. In 1928, physicist Paul Dirac made the stunning prediction th
