Bøger i Landolt-Boernstein: Numerical Data and Functional Relationships in Science and Technology - New Series serien

In the 6th edition of Landolt-Boernstein, the field of oceanography was incorporated into the volume on "Astronomy and Geophysics" (1952) and covered 116 pages. Subvolume c contains chapters on ocean waves, upwelling regions, ice in the ocean and coastal oceanography. The present subvolume b covers the ocean circulation and the ocean turbulence.

Volume II/17 c is the third part of a supplement to the pre-vious compilations II/1 and II/9 a-d2 on magnetic propertiesof free radicals published in 1965 and 1977-1980, whichcovered the literature up to 1975.

The phenomenon of superconductivity has gained a new interest since the recent discovery of materials with transition temperatures above 77K. In volume III/21 the reported data on superconducting materials, from the discovery of this phenomenon to the present day, are compiled.

Volume III/20 of the New Series is concerned with the experimental results of nuclear quadrupole resonance spectroscopy, a standard method of structural research, applied to solid substances.

This volume is an introduction to the problem of shielding against high-energy radiation. These experimental facilities as well as space flights, where man is exposed to natural high-energy radiation, created the need for designing shielding against these radiation sources.

Volume 19 of Group III (Crystal and Solid State Physics) deals with the magnetic properties of metals, alloys and metallic compounds.

Volume III/15 deals with data on the transport phenomena in metals, filling a long-felt need for both experimentalists and theoreticians. The first two subvolumes, III/15a and III/15b, contain information on the electrical conductivity of metals and related subjects.

This subvolume contains a general introduction and tables of rotational and centrifugal distortion constants for diamagnetic, diatomic, linear and symmetric top molecules which specify the frequencies of the rotational transitions of each type of rotor.

The present subvolume contains exclusively elastic constants of crystals including second-order stiffness and compliances, their temperature and pressure coefficients, and third and higher stiffnesses.

For the reader's convenience an alphabetical formula index and an alphabetical index of chemical, mineralogical and technical names for all substances of volumes 29 A, B and 30 A are included.

The precise knowledge of production cross sections for specific radionuclides for medium energies (10 MeV to 100 GeV) of the incident particle gains ever more importance, not only for nuclear physics but also for many applications, e.g.

Volume II/19 Molecular Constants mostly from Microwave, Molecular Beam and Sub-Doppler Laser Spectroscopy is a supplement to the earlier volumes II/4, II/6, and II/14.

For everyone concerned with the technology and application of metals and alloys and with the development of new metallic materials, a detailed knowledge of phase equilibria is indispensable. So volume IV/5 had to be divided into several subvolumes which cover - in alphabetical order - all binary systems of importance.

The precise knowledge of production cross sections for specific radionuclides for medium energies (10 MeV to 100 GeV) of the incident particle gains ever more importance, not only for nuclear physics but also for many applications, e.g.

Volume III/27 covers the magnetic properties of inorganic compounds based on transition elements. The present subvolume III/27g covers binary oxides based on d-transition elements, oxides with trirutile and pyrochlore structure and oxides with a hexagonal crystal structure.

Data on the properties that depend on the preparation of the samples measured, as for instance, thin films, amorphous alloys or the magnetic alloys used in technical applications, are being compiled in the subvolume of III/19g (Thin Films) and III/19h which covers the magnetic properties of liquid quenched alloys containing transition elements.

One book in a series devoted to critically selected and assessed fundamental data, mainly transition temperatures, which characterize the existing liquid crystalline phases and states of a large number of compounds.

Volume III/27 covers the magnetic properties of inorganic compounds based on transition elements. In a way this volume also forms a counterpart to volume III/19, in which the magnetic properties of metals, alloys and metallic compounds are compiled.

The worldwide data on electron-positron interactions at energies greater than 100 MeV are reviewed in this text. It concentrates on lepton and hadron data and explains corrections and error analysis in detail.

In volume III/21 a compilation is given of all reported experimental data on superconducting materials from the discovery of this phenomenon. The compilation is not restricted to the superconducting properties, but is extended to other low temperature physical properties, which are explicitly given in a particular column.

Free radicals, which are key intermediates in many thermal, photochemical and radiation processes, are important for a proper understanding of fundamental natural processes and the successful development of organic syntheses.
