{"product_id":"9783527346325","title":"Nonlinear Optics on Ferroic Materials -- Hardback","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe book brings together three key fields of physics: symmetry, magnetic or electric long-range (\"ferroic\") order, and nonlinear laser optics. In the first part, the fundamentals of these three fields are introduced with a focus on the details that are relevant for their combination. The second part discusses how nonlinear optical studies help revealing properties that are inaccessible with \"standard characterization\" techniques, followed by a systematic discussion of the unique degrees of freedom of nonlinear-optical probing of ferroics. The third part explores material classes of central interest to contemporary condensed-matter physics, including multiferroics with magnetoelectric correlations and oxide-electronic materials, along with application related to the optical properties of ferroic materials. The book concludes with an outlook towards future developments. 1 A preview of the subject of the book\n\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Symmetry considerations\n\u003cbr\u003e1.2 Ferroic materials\n\u003cbr\u003e1.3 Laser optics\n\u003cbr\u003e1.4 Creating the trinity\n\u003cbr\u003e1.5 Structure of this book\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e2 Symmetry\n\u003cbr\u003e2.1 Describing interactions in condensed-matter systems\n\u003cbr\u003e2.2 Introduction to practical group theory\n\u003cbr\u003e2.3 Crystals\n\u003cbr\u003e2.4 Point groups and space groups\n\u003cbr\u003e2.5 From symmetries to properties\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e3 Ferroic materials\n\u003cbr\u003e3.1 Ferroic phase transitions\n\u003cbr\u003e3.2 Ferroic states\n\u003cbr\u003e3.3 Antiferroic states\n\u003cbr\u003e3.4 Classification of ferroics\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e4 Nonlinear optics\n\u003cbr\u003e4.1 Interaction of materials with the electromagnetic radiation field\n\u003cbr\u003e4.2 Wave equation in nonlinear optics\n\u003cbr\u003e4.3 Microscopic sources of nonlinear optical effects\n\u003cbr\u003e4.4 Important nonlinear optical processes\n\u003cbr\u003e4.5 Nonlinear spectroscopy of electronic states\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e5 Experimental aspects\n\u003cbr\u003e5.1 Laser sources\n\u003cbr\u003e5.2 Experimental setups\n\u003cbr\u003e5.3 Temporal resolution\n\u003cbr\u003e6 Nonlinear optics on ferroics - an instructive example\n\u003cbr\u003e6.1 SHG contributions from antiferromagnetic Cr2O3\n\u003cbr\u003e6.2 SHG spectroscopy\n\u003cbr\u003e6.3 Topography on antiferromagnetic domains\n\u003cbr\u003e6.4 Magnetic structure in the spin-flop phase\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e7 The unique degrees of freedom of optical experiments\n\u003cbr\u003e7.1 Polarisation-dependent spectroscopy\n\u003cbr\u003e7.2 Spatial resolution - domains\n\u003cbr\u003e7.3 Temporal resolution - correlation dynamics\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e8 Theoretical aspects\n\u003cbr\u003e8.1 Microscopic sources of SHG in ferromagnetic metals\n\u003cbr\u003e8.2 Microscopic sources of SHG in antiferromagnetic insulators\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e9 SHG and multiferroics with magnetoelectric correlations\n\u003cbr\u003e9.1 Type-I multiferroics - the hexagonal manganites\n\u003cbr\u003e9.2 Type-I multiferroics - BiFeO3\n\u003cbr\u003e9.3 Type-I multiferroics with strain-induced ferroelectricity\n\u003cbr\u003e9.4 Type-II multiferroics - MnWO4\n\u003cbr\u003e9.5 Type-II multiferroics - TbMn2O5\n\u003cbr\u003e9.6 Type-II multiferroics - TbMnO3\n\u003cbr\u003e9.7 Type-II multiferroics with higher-order domain functionalities\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e10 SHG and materials with novel types of primary ferroic order\n\u003cbr\u003e10.1 Ferrotoroidics\n\u003cbr\u003e10.2 Ferro-axial order - RbFe(MoO4)2\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e11 SHG and oxide electronics - thin films and heterostructures\n\u003cbr\u003e11.1 Growth techniques\n\u003cbr\u003e11.2 Thin epitaxial oxide films with magnetic order\n\u003cbr\u003e11.3 Thin epitaxial oxide films with ferroelectric order\n\u003cbr\u003e11.4 Poling dynamics in ferroelectric thin films\n\u003cbr\u003e11.5 Growth dynamics in oxide electronics by in-situ SHG probing\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e12 Nonlinear optics on ordered states beyond ferroics\n\u003cbr\u003e12.1 Superconductors\n\u003cbr\u003e12.2 Metamaterials - photonic crystals\n\u003cbr\u003e12.3 Topological insulators\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e13 A retrospect of the subject of the book\n\u003cbr\u003e Manfred Fiebig received his doctorate from the University of Dortmund, Germany, in 1996. From 1997 to 1999, he was a JST Research Fellow at the University of Tokyo, Japan. He then headed a Junior Research Group at the University of Dortmund until his habilitation in 2001. From 2002 to 2006, he worked as a DFG Heisenberg Fellow at the Max Born Institute in Berlin. In 2006, he was appointed Professor of Experimental Solid-State Physics at the University of Bonn, Germany; a position he held until 2011. Since 2011, Manfred Fiebig has been Professor for Multifunctional Ferroic Materials in the Department of Materials at ETH Zurich where he heads a group of people uniting the cultural diversity of, at present, 15 nations. His honours include an ERC Advanced Investigator Grant, APS Fellowship, and election as corresponding member in the Academy of Sciences and Literature, Mainz. Most recently, Manfred Fiebig was awarded with the APS Frank Isakson Prize and the Stern-Gerlach Medal of the German Physical Society, their highest distinction in Experimental Physics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-VCH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45652517158991,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":5248.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/en\/products\/9783527346325","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
