A Journey into Reciprocal Space

By (author) A M Glazer

This book introduces undergraduate and graduate students to a crystallographer’s view of real and reciprocal space, a concept that has been of particular use by crystallographers to understand the patterns of spots when X-rays are diffracted by crystals. It then proceeds to develop the concept in a form suitable for physics applications; such as how solid-state physicists use reciprocal space to explain various solid-state properties such as thermal and electrical phenomena.

The Globular Star Clusters of the Andromeda Galaxy

By (author) Charli M Sakari

This book presents a brief compilation of results from nearly a century of research on the globular star clusters in the Andromeda Galaxy (M31). It explores the techniques and limitations of the observations, the successes and challenges of the models, and the paradigm for the formation of M31 that has gradually emerged. These results will eventually be superseded by new data, better analysis techniques, and more complex models. However, the emphasis of this book is on the techniques, thought processes, and connections with other studies.

Kinematic Labs with Mobile Devices

By (author) Jason M Kinser

This book provides 13 labs spanning the common topics in the first semester of university-level physics. Each lab is designed to use only the student's smartphone, laptop and items easily found in big-box stores or a hobby shop. Each lab contains theory, set-up instructions and basic analysis techniques. All of these labs can be performed outside of the traditional university lab setting and initial costs averaging less than $8 per student, per lab. View details

A Handbook of Mathematical Methods and Problem-Solving Tools for Introductory Physics

By (author) Joshua F Whitney, Heather M Whitney

This is a companion textbook for an introductory course in physics. It aims to link the theories and models that students learn in class with practical problem-solving techniques. In other words, it should address the common complaint that “I understand the concepts but I can't do the homework or tests”. The fundamentals of introductory physics courses are addressed in simple and concise terms, with emphasis on how the fundamental concepts and equations should be used to solve physics problems.

The Electric Dipole Moment Challenge

By (author) Richard M. Talman

The electric dipole moment challenge (EDM) measures a non-zero proton EDM value and this book suggests how the challenge can be met. Any measurably large proton EDM would violate the standard model. The method to be employed uses an intense beam of "frozen spin" protons circulating for hour-long times in a storage ring "trap.” The smallness of EDMs allows them to test existing theories, but also makes them hard to measure. Such EDM experiments are inexpensive, at least compared to building accelerators of ever-greater energy.
