Synopsis

The 23–volume Encyclopedia of Applied Physics – EAP – is a monumental first in scope, depth, and usability. It demonstrates the synergy between physics and technological applications.

Information is presented according to the following subject areas:

∗ General Aspects; Mathematical and Information Techniques ∗ Measurement Sciences, General Devices and/or Methods ∗ Nuclear and Elementary Particle Physics ∗ Atomic and Molecular Physics ∗ Electricity and Magnetism ∗ Optics (classical and quantum) ∗ Acoustics ∗ Thermodynamics and Properties of Gases ∗ Fluids and Plasma Physics ∗ Condensed Matter: Structure and Mechanical Properties; Thermal, Acoustic, and Quantum Properties ; Electronic Properties ; Magnetic Properties ; Dielectrical and Optical Properties; Surfaces and Interfaces ∗ Materials Science ∗ Physical Chemistry ∗ Energy Research and Environmental Physics ∗ Biophysics and Medical Physics ∗ Geophysics, Meteorology, Space Physics and Aeronautics

EAP consists of 20 hardcover volumes arranged alphabetically. A cumulative subject index will be published after every three volumes, with a full index accompanying the complete work.
