A Career In Theoretical Physics
Theoretical physicist and Nobel Laureate Philip Anderson has been described as one of the most imaginative of condensed matter physicists working today. His achievements have not merely constituted significant discoveries in their own right, but have also frequently set the agenda for the work of others. His pioneering contributions include the Anderson model of magnetic impurities and the concept of localisation, both of which were mentioned in his Nobel Prize citation. He also worked on the study of spin glasses, the fluctuating valence problem and superexchange. He predicted the existence of superfluidity in He-3 and provided a microscopic explanation, and was involved in the discovery of...

Spin Glass Theory And Far Beyond: Replica Symmetry Breaking After 40 Years
About sixty years ago, the anomalous magnetic response of certain magnetic alloys drew the attention of theoretical physicists. It soon became clear that understanding these systems, now called spin glasses, would give rise to a new branch of statistical physics. As physical materials, spin glasses were found to be as useless as they were exotic. They have nevertheless been recognized as paradigmatic examples of complex systems with applications to problems as diverse as neural networks, amorphous solids, biological molecules, social and economic interactions, information theory and constraint satisfaction problems.This book presents an encyclopaedic overview of the broad range of these applications. More than 30 contributions are compiled, written by many of the leading researchers who have contributed to these developments over the last few decades. Some timely and cutting-edge applications are also discussed. This collection serves well as an introduction and summary of disordered and glassy systems for advanced undergraduates, graduate students and practitioners interested in the topic.
SAVING GRACE
WHEN AN ANDROID SCREAMS IN SPACE, WHO LISTENS? Twelve cryopods containing dead planetary explorers arrive at the Nelson Mandela Medical Space Station with their hearts ruptured. They are immediately taken to Quarantine Level as per protocol. It falls to Dr. Al-Fadi and Dr. Grace Lord to examine the first explorer and they unwittingly release an alien entity that takes possession of a woman, who begins to tear the station apart, piece by piece. Bud resists the alien every step of the way, but is reluctant to harm the alien-possessed human . . . until he falls. To prevent the alien from leaving the station, the crew must evacuate as the Nelson Mandela prepares to self destruct. Can Dr. Grace Lord save the day?
Frustrated Materials and Ferroic Glasses
This book provides a comprehensive introduction to ferroics and frustrated materials. Ferroics comprise a range of materials classes with functionalities such as magnetism, polarization, and orbital degrees of freedom and strain. Frustration, due to geometrical constraints, and disorder, due to chemical and/or structural inhomogeneities, can lead to glassy behavior, which has either been directly observed or inferred in a range of materials classes from model systems such as artificial spin ice, shape memory alloys, and ferroelectrics to electronically functional materials such as manganites. Interesting and unusual properties are found to be associated with these glasses and have potential ...
