Searching for dark matter with cosmic gamma rays
This book summarizes the evidence for dark matter and what we can learn about its particle nature using cosmic gamma rays. Overwhelming evidence suggests 95% of the universe’s energy density doesn’t fit within our Standard Model of particle physics…most of the cosmos is filled with dark energy an...

The mössbauer effect
The Mössbauer effect was discovered by, and named after, Rudolf Mössbauer at the Technical University of Munich in 1958. It soon became apparent that Mössbauer spectroscopy had applications in a variety of fields, such as general relativity, solid state physics, chemistry, materials science, biol...

Introduction to cellular biophysics, volume 2
The aim of this book is to look into the basic physical phenomena occurring in cells. These physical transport processes facilitate chemical reactions in the cell and various electrical effects, and that, in turn, leads to the biological functions necessary for the cell to satisfy its role in the...

Quantised vortices
Vortices comprising swirling motion of matter are observable in classical systems at all scales, ranging from atomic size to that of galaxies. In quantum mechanical systems, such vortices are robust entities whose behaviours are governed by the strict rules of topology. The physics of quantum vor...

Ads/cft correspondence in condensed matter
This book introduces, in an elementary way, the idea of the anti-de Sitter/Conformal Field Theory (AdS/CFT) correspondence to condensed matter physicists. This theory relates a gravity theory in a (d+1)-dimensional anti-de Sitter space time to a strongly coupled d-dimensional quantum field theory...

Tying light in knots
Topology is the study of properties of geometrical objects that remain invariant as the object is bent, twisted, or otherwise continuously deformed. It has been an indispensable tool in particle physics and solid-state physics for decades, but in recent years it has become increasingly relevant i...

An introduction to liquid crystals
Practically every display technology in use today relies on the flat, energy-efficient construction made possible by liquid crystals. These displays provide visually-crisp, vibrantly-colored images that a short time ago were thought only possible in science fiction. Yet, although liquid crystals ...

Thermal properties of matter
The ancient Greeks believed that all matter was composed of four elements: earth, water, air, and fire. Today, we know that there are four states of matter that are remarkably similar: solids (e.g.earth), liquids (e.g. water), gasses (e.g. air), and plasma (e.g. ionized gas produced by fire). Thi...

What’s the matter with waves
Like rocket science or brain surgery, quantum mechanics is pigeonholed as a daunting and inaccessible topic, which is best left to an elite few. Authors have run the gamut from hand waving to heavy handed in hopes to dispel this common belief. This particular effort focuses on giving the reader a...

Measuring nothing, repeatedly
There have been many recent discussions of the replication crisis in psychology and other social sciences. This has been attributed, in part, to the fact that researchers hesitate to submit null results and journals fail to publish such results. In this book, Allan Franklin and Ronald Laymon anal...
