The book explores the burgeoning field of low-dimensional physics that has gained significant attention over the past forty years. It highlights numerous original ideas that have emerged, some of which have been experimentally validated. The narrative also touches on the recognition of this area through multiple Nobel prizes, underscoring its importance and the innovative advancements made in understanding physical phenomena in reduced dimensions.
Properties of an Incompressible Quantum Fluid
There have been tremendous theoretical and experimental developments in recent years in the field of the fractional quantum Hall effect. The Fractional Quantum Hall Effect presents a general survey of most of the theoretical work and briefly reviews the experimental results on the excitation gap. Researchers, experimentalists and research students with a background in quantum mechanics and statistical physics should find this book useful.
Charge migration through DNA has been the focus of considerable interest in recent years. A deeper understanding of the nature of charge transfer and transport along the double helix is important in fields as diverse as physics, chemistry and nanotechnology. It has also important implications in biology, in particular in DNA damage and repair. This book presents contributions from an international team of researchers active in this field. It contains a wide range of topics that includes the mathematical background of the quantum processes involved, the role of charge transfer in DNA radiation damage, a new approach to DNA sequencing, DNA photonics, and many others. This book should be of value to researchers in condensed matter physics, chemical physics, physical chemistry, and nanoscale sciences.
