TEUBNER-TEXTE zur Physik Herausgegeben von Prof. Dr. Werner Ebeling, Berlin Prof. Dr. Manfred Pilkuhn, Stuttgart Prof. Dr. Bernd Wilhelmi, Jena

This regular series includes the presentation of recent research developments of strong interest as well as comprehensive treatments of important selected topics of physics. One of the aims is to make new results of research available to graduate students and younger scientists, and moreover to all people who like to widen their scope and inform themselves about new developments and trends. A larger part of physics and applications of physics and also its application in neighbouring sciences such as chemistry, biology and technology is covered. Examples for typical topics are: Statistical physics, physics of condensed matter, interaction of light with matter, mesoscopic physics, physics of surfaces and interfaces, laser physics, nonlinear processes and selforganization, ultrafast dynamics, chemical and biological physics, quantum measuring devices with ultimately high resolution and sensitivity, and finally applications of physics in interdisciplinary fields.
