The Electrical Properties of Disordered Metals

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Dugdale, J. S. / Clarke, D. R. / Suresh, S., PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, The theory of metallic conduction has, until recently, been confined to crystalline metals with atoms in regular arrays. The discovery of solid amorphous alloys led to an explosion of measurements of their electronic properties, ong>andong> the emergence of a range of interesting low temperature phenomena. The book describes in physical terms the theory of the electrical conductivity, Hall coefficient, magnetoresistance ong>andong> thermopower of disordered metals ong>andong> alloys. The author begins by showing how conventional Boltzmann theory can be extended ong>andong> modified when the mean free path of the conduction electrons becomes comparable with their wavelength ong>andong> interionic separation. Dugdale explores the consequences of this ong>andong> tests the theory by applying it to experimental data on metallic glasses. Designed as a self-contained review, the book will appeal to nonspecialist physicists, metallurgists ong>andong> chemists with an interest in disordered metals.

The Modernist Short Story: A Study in Theory and Practice

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Head, Dominic, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, The modernist period saw a revolution in fictional practice, most famously in the work of novelists such as Joyce ong>andong> Woolf. Dominic Head shows that the short story, with its particular stress on literary artifice, was a central site for modernist innovation. Working against a conventional approach ong>andong> towards a more rigourous ong>andong> sophisticated theory of the genre, using a framework drawn from Althusser ong>andong> Bakhtin, he examines the short story's range of formal effects, such as the disunifying function of ellipsis ong>andong> ambiguity. Separate chapters on Joyce, Woolf ong>andong> Katherine Mansfield highlight their strategies of formal dissonance, involving a conflict of voices within the narrative. Finally, Dominic Head's challenging conclusion takes the implications of his study into the age of postmodernism. Acquista Ora
