This new, third volume of Cohen-Tannoudji's groundbreaking textbook covers advanced topics of quantum mechanics such as uncorrelated and correlated identical particles, the quantum theory of the electromagnetic field, absorption, emission and scattering of photons by atoms, and quantum entanglement. Written in a didactically unrivalled manner, the textbook explains the fundamental concepts in seven chapters which are elaborated in accompanying complements that provide more detailed discussions, examples and applications. * Completing the success story: the third and final volume of the quantum mechanics textbook written by 1997 Nobel laureate Claude Cohen-Tannoudji and his colleagues Bernard Diu and Franck Laloë * As easily comprehensible as possible: all steps of the physical background and its mathematical representation are spelled out explicitly * Comprehensive: in addition to the fundamentals themselves, the books comes with a wealth of elaborately explained examples and applications Claude Cohen-Tannoudji was a researcher at the Kastler-Brossel laboratory of the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris where he also studied and received his PhD in 1962. In 1973 he became Professor of atomic and molecular physics at the Collège des France. His main research interests were optical pumping, quantum optics and atom-photon interactions. In 1997, Claude Cohen-Tannoudji, together with Steven Chu and William D. Phillips, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his research on laser cooling and trapping of neutral atoms. Bernard Diu was Professor at the Denis Diderot University (Paris VII). He was engaged in research at the Laboratory of Theoretical Physics and High Energy where his focus was on strong interactions physics and statistical mechanics. Franck Laloë was a researcher at the Kastler-Brossel laboratory of the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris. His first assignment was with the University of Paris VI before he was appointed to the CNRS, the French National Research Center. His research was focused on optical pumping, statistical mechanics of quantum gases, musical acoustics and the foundations of quantum mechanics.

The book intends to give a state-of-the-art overview of flexoelectricity, a linear physical coupling between mechanical (orientational) deformations and electric polarization, which is specific to systems with orientational order, such as liquid crystals. Chapters written by experts in the field shed light on theoretical as well as experimental aspects of research carried out since the discovery of flexoelectricity. Besides a common macroscopic (continuum) description the microscopic theory of flexoelectricity is also addressed. Electro-optic effects due to or modified by flexoelectricity as well as various (direct and indirect) measurement methods are discussed. Special emphasis is given to the role of flexoelectricity in pattern-forming instabilities. While the main focus of the book lies in flexoelectricity in nematic liquid crystals, peculiarities of other mesophases (bent-core systems, cholesterics, and smectics) are also reviewed. Flexoelectricity has relevance to biological (living) systems and can also offer possibilities for technical applications. The basics of these two interdisciplinary fields are also summarized.

Nuclear engineering has undergone extensive progress over the years. In the past century, colossal developments have been made and with specific reference to the mathematical theory and computational science underlying this discipline, advances in areas such as high-order discretization methods, Krylov Methods and Iteration Acceleration have steadily grown. Nuclear Computational Science: A Century in Review addresses these topics and many more; topics which hold special ties to the first half of the century, and topics focused around the unique combination of nuclear engineering, computational science and mathematical theory. Comprising eight chapters, Nuclear Computational Science: A Century in Review incorporates a number of carefully selected issues representing a variety of problems, providing the reader with a wealth of information in both a clear and concise manner. The comprehensive nature of the coverage and the stature of the contributing authors combine to make this a unique landmark publication. Targeting the medium to advanced level academic, this book will appeal to researchers and students with an interest in the progression of mathematical theory and its application to nuclear computational science.

Organic lasers are broadly tunable coherent sources, potentially compact, convenient and manufactured at low-costs. Appeared in the mid 60’s as solid-state alternatives for liquid dye lasers, they recently gained a new dimension after the demonstration of organic semiconductor lasers in the 90's. More recently, new perspectives appeared at the nanoscale, with organic polariton and surface plasmon lasers. After a brief reminder to laser physics, a first chapter exposes what makes organic solid-state organic lasers specific. The laser architectures used in organic lasers are then reviewed, with a state-of-the-art review of the performances of devices with regard to output power, threshold, lifetime, beam quality etc. A survey of the recent trends in the field is given, highlighting the latest developments with a special focus on the challenges remaining for achieving direct electrical pumping of organic semiconductor lasers. A last chapter covers the applications of organic solid-state lasers.

This comprehensive volume offers readers a progressive and highly detailed introduction to the complex behavior of neutrons in general, and in the context of nuclear power generation. A compendium and handbook for nuclear engineers, a source of teaching material for academic lecturers as well as a graduate text for advanced students and other non-experts wishing to enter this field, it is based on the author’s teaching and research experience and his recognized expertise in nuclear safety. After recapping a number of points in nuclear physics, placing the theoretical notions in their historical context, the book successively reveals the latest quantitative theories concerning: • The slowing-down of neutrons in matter • The charged particles and electromagnetic rays • The calculation scheme, especially the simplification hypothesis • The concept of criticality based on chain reactions • The theory of homogeneous and heterogeneous reactors • The problem of self-shielding • The theory of the nuclear reflector, a subject largely ignored in literature • The computational methods in transport and diffusion theories Complemented by more than 400 bibliographical references, some of which are commented and annotated, and augmented by an appendix on the history of reactor physics at EDF (Electricité De France), this book is the most comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to and reference resource in neutronics and reactor theory.

CE TRAVAIL EST UNE ETUDE NUMERIQUE DES TRANSFERTS DE CHALEUR COUPLES DANS LES MILIEUX SEMI-TRANSPARENTS GRIS EN GEOMETRIE BIDIMENSIONNELLE RECTANGULAIRE. APRES UN BREF RAPPEL DES EQUATIONS DU TRANSFERT RADIATIF, COMPLETE PAR UN APERCU GENERAL SUR LES DIFFERENTES METHODOLOGIES FREQUEMMENT UTILISEES POUR RESOUDRE CES EQUATIONS, NOUS AVONS CHOISI LA METHODE DES ORDONNEES DISCRETES (SN) QUI A CONNU TRES RECEMMENT BEAUCOUP DE SUCCES EN RAISON DE SA PRECISION AINSI QUE DE SA COMPATIBILITE AVEC LA MODELISATION DES AUTRES MODES DE TRANSFERT DE CHALEUR. NOUS AVONS DEVELOPPE CETTE METHODE DANS LE CAS DES MILIEUX A DIFFUSION ANISOTROPE. AFIN D'ELIMINER CERTAINES ABERRATIONS NUMERIQUES OBSERVEES LORS DE SA MISE EN UVRE, NOUS AVONS PROPOSE, DANS LE PREMIER CHAPITRE DU MEMOIRE, UNE NOUVELLE VERSION QUE NOUS AVONS TESTES PAR COMPARAISON AVEC D'AUTRES METHODES TRES PRECISES ET DE REFERENCE. ENSUITE NOUS AVONS ADOPTE L'APPROXIMATION S4 POUR L'ETUDE DE COUPLAGES OU L'ON A EFFECTUE UNE ANALYSE SYSTEMATIQUE CONCERNANT L'INFLUENCE DES DIFFERENTS PARAMETRES RADIATIFS DU MILIEU, AINSI QUE DES CARACTERISTIQUES DE SES SURFACES FRONTIERES. COMMENCANT PAR LE COUPLAGE DE LA CONDUCTION AVEC LE RAYONNEMENT DANS LE DEUXIEME CHAPITRE, OU NOUS AVONS ADOPTE LA METHODE DES VOLUMES DE CONTROLE POUR RESOUDRE L'EQUATION DE LA CHALEUR, NOUS AVONS POURSUIVI L'ETUDE, DANS LE TROISIEME CHAPITRE, POUR TRAITER UN DOMAINE TRES RAREMENT ABORDE, QUI EST CELUI DU COUPLAGE DE LA CONVECTION NATURELLE ET DU RAYONNEMENT DANS LES MILIEUX POREUX, OU NOUS AVONS UTILISE LE MODELE DE DARCY POUR LA MODELISATION DE LA CONVECTION. FINALEMENT, NOUS AVONS TERMINE L'ETUDE DU COUPLAGE DANS LE QUATRIEME CHAPITRE, CONSACRE AU TRANSFERT COUPLE RAYONNEMENT ET CONVECTION NATURELLE EN REGIME LAMINAIRE DANS LES MILIEUX FLUIDES.
