The electrostatic accelerator
Electrostatic accelerators have been at the forefront of modern technology since 1932, when Sir John Cockroft and Ernest Walton developed the first accelerator. Although the electrostatic accelerator field is more than 90 years old, the field and the number of accelerators is growing more rapidly...

An approach to dark matter modelling
In the field of particle and astrophysics one of the major unresolved problems is to understand the nature and properties of dark matter, which constitutes almost 80% of the matter content of the universe. This book gives a pedagogical introduction to the field of dark matter in general, and in p...

Nanoscopic electrofocusing for bio-nanoelectronic devices
This cutting-edge book moves from the current ability to position nanoparticles on surfaces, to a new dimension of spatial control. The authors report that a new technique called “nanoscopic lens” is able to produce a variety of 3D nano-structures in a controlled manner. Particle trajectory calcu...

Theories of matter, space and time, volume 2
This book and its prequel, Theories of Matter Space and Time: Classical theories, Volume 1, grew out of courses that are taught by the authors on the undergraduate degree program in physics at Southampton University, UK. The authors aim to guide the full MPhys undergraduate cohort through some of...
