Optics of Semiconductors and Their Nanostructures
In recent years the field of semiconductor optics has been pushed to several extremes. The size of semiconductor structures has shrunk to dimensions of a few nanometers, the semiconductor-light interaction is studied on timescales as fast as a few femtoseconds, and transport properties on a length scale far below the wavelength of light have been revealed. These advances were driven by rapid improvements in both semiconductor and optical technologies and were further facilitated by progress in the theoretical description of optical excitations in semiconductors. This book, written by leading experts in the field, provides an up-to-date introduction to the optics of semiconductors and their nanostructures so as to help the reader understand these exciting new developments. It also discusses recently established applications, such as blue-light emitters, as well as the quest for future applications in areas such as spintronics, quantum information processing, and third-generation solar cells.
Advances in Solid State Physics 48
The 2008 Spring Meeting of the Arbeitskreis Festkörperphysik was held in Berlin, Germany, between February 24 and February 29, 2008 in conjunction with the 72nd Annual Meeting of the Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft. The 2008 meeting was the largest physics meeting in Europe and among the largest physics meetings in the world in 2008.
Wide Band Gap Semiconductor Nanowires 1
GaN and ZnO nanowires can by grown using a wide variety of methods from physical vapor deposition to wet chemistry for optical devices. This book starts by presenting the similarities and differences between GaN and ZnO materials, as well as the assets and current limitations of nanowires for their use in optical devices, including feasibility and perspectives. It then focuses on the nucleation and growth mechanisms of ZnO and GaN nanowires, grown by various chemical and physical methods. Finally, it describes the formation of nanowire heterostructures applied to optical devices.
EBOOK: Play and Playwork: 101 Stories of Children Playing
Children like to play. They get all sorts of benefits from playing. They get the most benefit from play when they are in control of what they are doing. Yet there are lots of circumstances today that mean children are not able to control their own play and that's where playwork comes in, where the role of the playworker is to create environments that enable children to take control of their playing. This book aims to explore the similarities, differences and tensions that exist between play and playwork including appropriate definitions and the conflict around the role of the adult. Fraser Brown proposes a play to playwork continuum, where playing can be considered a 'developmental and evolu...
A Comprehensive Encyclopedia of Film Noir
Featuring rumpled PIs, shyster lawyers, corrupt politicians, double-crossers, femmes fatales, and, of course, losers who find themselves down on their luck yet again, film noir is a perennially popular cinematic genre. This extensive encyclopedia describes movies from noir's earliest days – and even before, looking at some of noir's ancestors in US and European cinema – as well as noir's more recent offshoots, from neonoirs to erotic thrillers. Entries are arranged alphabetically, covering movies from all over the world – from every continent save Antarctica – with briefer details provided for several hundred additional movies within those entries. A copious appendix contains filmographies of prominent directors, actors, and writers. With coverage of blockbusters and program fillers from Going Straight (US 1916) to Broken City (US 2013) via Nora Inu (Japan 1949), O Anthropos tou Trainou (Greece 1958), El Less Wal Kilab (Egypt 1962), Reportaje a la Muerte (Peru 1993), Zift (Bulgaria 2008), and thousands more, A Comprehensive Encyclopedia of Film Noir is an engrossing and essential reference work that should be on the shelves of every cinephile.

Häuser und Familien in Demmin
Nur wenig erinnert noch heute an die umfangreiche Häuser- und Familiengeschichte von Demmin, da fast alle Häuser aus der älteren Zeit bei den zahlreichen Stadtbränden zerstört worden sind. Es entstand die Idee, ein Häuserverzeichnis von Demmin anzulegen, um auch mehr über die Familien zu erfahren, die einst in Demmin lebten. Nicht nur die Lebensdaten der einzelnen Personen sind für die Familienforschung interessant, sondern auch alle Informationen, die man über die Häuser zusammentragen kann. Dieser Bereich der Ortsforschung wurde bislang nur wenig in den Stadtchroniken von Demmin behandelt. Als Hauptquelle für die nachfolgende Publikation dienen die 6 Hypothekenbücher der Stadt Demmin aus der Zeit um 1770–1865 (mit einzelnen Nachträgen bis 1866) und verschiedene Akten aus dem Landesarchiv Greifswald und dem Demminer Museumsbestand. Ebenfalls wurden, sofern vorhanden, Fotografien ergänzt. Tauchen Sie ein in ein Kapitel der Demminer Häuser- und Familiengeschichte aus der Zeit von 1625 bis 1865! Über 1700 verschiedene Familiennamen und über 700 Häuser warten darauf, entdeckt zu werden.
Andrea Zittel
This title assembles a major selection of Andrea Zittel's gouaches and paintings on wood, a medium the artist has worked with since 1992.
