Cu-Mg-Si (Copper - Magnesium - Silicon)
This document is part of Subvolume A4 'Light Metal Systems. Part 4: Selected Systems from Al-Si-Ti to Ni-Si-Ti' of Volume 11 'Ternary Alloy Systems -...

Basic Theoretical Concepts
Superconductivity is the phenomenon of dissipationless transport which occurs in many metals at su.ciently low temperatures. Metals in the...
-
Probing the Parity and Spin State
Classification into classes of superconductors with singlet and triplet pairing, respectively, needs information on the parity and spin state of the...
-
Probing the Vortices: Lattice Symmetry and Internal Structure
A spatial variation of the superconducting properties occurs when a magnetic field is present perpendicular to the surface of a type-II...
-
Molecular Dynamics
The aim in this Chapter is to show how molecular dynamics can be used to study conductive heat transfer in matter in terms of an atomic description...
-
Solution of the Boltzmann Equationfor Phonon Transport
We discuss two popular methods for solving the radiative transfer equation in the field of thermal radiation, which can be used to calculate...
-
Scanning Thermal Microscopy
Fundamental research and continued miniaturisation of systems (materials or components) have instigated and still require today the development of...
-
Hybrid Techniquesand Multipurpose Microscopes
In this Chapter we discuss microscopes able to achieve submicron resolution using thermoelastic effects. Section 1 reviews the physical effects that...
-
Optical Techniques for Local Measurement
Optical measurement techniques are well suited to many heat transfer problems, insofar as they are non-contact and generally non-invasive. Far-field...
-
Introduction to Radiative Transfer
The aim of this Chapter is to introduce concepts and methods for modelling radiative transfer on short length scales. Electromagnetic radiation...

Method of Invariant Grids
The method of invariant grids is developed for a grid-based computation of invariant manifolds.
-
Invariance Equation in Differential Form
Definition of invariance in terms of motions and trajectories assumes, at least, existence and uniqueness theorems for solutions of the original...

13 Pressure
Technically one could introduce pressure within classical statistical mechanics as an observable, i.e., as a function of the micro state. The...

5 The Program for the Foundation of Thermodynamics
For a foundation of thermodynamics it is tempting to give an abstract but, nevertheless, intuitively appealing definition of entropy, such as:...
-
3 Basics of Thermodynamics and Statistics
After having introduced some central concepts, results, and equations from quantum mechanics, we will now present the main definitions and laws of...
-
7 System and Environment
In a typical thermodynamic situation we consider a bipartite system with the larger part being called “environment” or “container”, c, whereas the...
-
21 Summary and Conclusion
This book essentially had two intentions: to define what precisely thermodynamic behavior should be and to show that a certain class of bipartite...

B Hilbert Space Average under Microcanonical Conditions
We consider a space with the Cartesian coordinates {η AB ab ,ξ AB...

6 Outline of the Present Approach
As already indicated we want to derive the properties of thermodynamic quantities from non-relativistic quantum mechanics, i.e., from starting with a...
