Organic Electroluminescence
Unique reference on the fundamentals, applications, and latest research in electroluminescence of organic molecules Organic Electroluminescence provides a comprehensive overview of organic electroluminescent materials from their structure-property relationships to the outlook of improved device performance. Divided into three parts, the first section of the book covers fundamental aspects of OLEDs such as history, structures, properties, and operating and aging mechanisms. The second section provides quantum chemical and experimental insights into correlations between device performance, material characteristics, molecular physical parameters, and molecular structure. The last section is devoted to improving device performance in real world applications using molecular and device simulations. Featuring contributions from experts from around the world, Organic Electroluminescence discusses sample topics including: * Fundamental concepts in the fields of display, organic electronics, molecular photochemistry, and quantum chemistry * Device fabrication, characterization and simulation techniques * Physical and chemical processes in OLEDs including charge injection and transport, exciton generation and decay, reversible dipole reorientation, and chemical reactions * Physical and chemical properties of organic semiconductors in solutions and thin-films including photoluminescence quantum yield, excited-state lifetime, and redox potential * Single-molecule and condensed-matter simulations including vertical transition, nonradiative decay, spin-orbital and spin-phonon coupling, bond dissociation and charge transfer Organic Electroluminescence delivers advanced information for professionals seeking a thorough reference on the subject and for students learning about OLEDs.

Introduction to Classical Electrodynamics, Volume 1
Introduction to Classical Electrodynamics 1 introduces the fundamentals of electromagnetic field theory. This book begins with electrostatics, focusing on the concepts of point charges, electric fields, electric potential and Gauss's theorem. It then examines conductors, influence phenomena and capacitors, before exploring electrokinetics, detailing the concepts of electric current, circuits and resistance, as well as Kirchhoff's laws. Next, this book analyzes the notion of magnetic field, Lorentz and Laplace forces, Biot-Savart's law, Ampère's theorem, electric and magnetic moments, and multipole developments. Boundary problems for static potentials in vacuum are also studied. The book is aimed at students of physics and mathematics, as well as engineering students interested in electromagnetic theory, providing an overview of electromagnetic theory, with numerous practical applications.

Biophysics
BIOPHYSICS An introduction to the physics of living organisms The field of biophysics employs the principles of physics to study biological systems, and introduces the concept of the living state. It is a multidisciplinary approach to the study of the living state combining physics, biochemistry, molecular and cell biology, medicine and engineering. The physics of macromolecules and macromolecular assemblies is a particularly important aspect of this broader field. Biophysics: Physical Processes Underlying the Living State offers an introduction to the general principles of the living state and their biological applications. Beginning with an historical overview of fundamental scientific theories and fields, the book then provides a brief introduction to cell biology and biochemistry, and then an overview of basic thermodynamics, kinetics, information theory, electrostatics in solution, fluid mechanics and macromolecular physics, and their relationship to the living state. After a presentation of physical methods, with an emphasis on light scattering, different biological macromolecules, selected aspects of their functions, and their physical properties and interactions are surveyed. A brief introduction to vision, biomotion, and theoretical biology is also provided. Exploration of some frontier issues in prebiotic origins of life, consciousness, and astrobiology round out the book. The result is a multifaceted window into the broad and evolving field of biophysics. Biophysics readers will also find: * Problems at the conclusion of each chapter to reinforce and focus student knowledge * A gathering of topics in basic physics and physical chemistry which are seldom found in a single source This textbook is suitable for physics and engineering students studying biophysics, macromolecular science, and biophysical chemistry, as well as for polymer scientists, chemists, biochemists, cell and molecular biologists, bioengineers, and others.
