This review discusses how low-energy valence excitations created by swift electrons can
render information on the optical response of structured materials with unmatched spatial …

Time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT) describes the quantum dynamics of
interacting electronic many-body systems formally exactly and in a practical and efficient …

Graphene plasmons provide a suitable alternative to noble-metal plasmons because they
exhibit much tighter confinement and relatively long propagation distances, with the …

Within the last 30 years, electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) has become a standard
analytical technique used in the transmission electron microscope to extract chemical and …

We point out that plasmons in doped graphene simultaneously enable low losses and
significant wave localization for frequencies below that of the optical phonon branch ℏ ω O …

During the 11 years since the first edition was published the field of quantum kinetics has
experienced a great expansion, and the methods described in the first edition are now …

Graphene plasmons are rapidly emerging as a viable tool for fast electrical manipulation of
light. The prospects for applications to electro-optical modulation, optical sensing, quantum …

This book sets out the fundamental quantum processes that are important in the physics and
technology of semiconductors in a relatively informal style that graduate students will find …

Classical and degenerate, strongly coupled plasmas are approached by computer
simulations, analytic theories, and variational methods. Thermodynamic properties predicted …

Perhaps as many as ten years ago a colleague of mine pointed out to me that the Second
Edition of this book was “out of print”. I mentioned this to my editor, who at that time was …
