A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Juan F. R. Archilla: Prof. Juan F.R. Archilla obtained his PhD in Physics in 1992 in the Department of Atomic, Molecular and Nuclear Physics of the University of Sevilla, Spain. Presently he is professor in the Department of Applied Physics I of the University of Sevilla, Spain. His lectures in Mechanics and Electromagnetism take place at the Higher Technical School of Computer Engineering in the degrees of Health Engineering and Computer Engineering.
His research has been in different aspects of Nonlinear Science, some more theoretical as symmetry and bifurcation theory with application to reaction diffusion systems and some more applied as localized nonlinear waves, reaction rate theory, defects in semiconductors and breathers and kinks in crystals and biological systems as DNA and proteins; or neutron spectroscopy of nonlinear vibrations. Lately he has been involved in experiments to detect nonlinear excitations. He is the head of the Research Group of Nonlinear Physics of the University of Sevilla and member of the European Physical Association. He is a frequent referee in international journals, including Springer journals.
Prof. Archilla has been guest researcher in several universities as Freie Univerität in Berlin; Cambridge and Heriot-Watt Universities in the UK; Denmark Technical University in Lyngby, Denmark; LADIR (CNRS) in Paris, France; Tartu University in Estonia; and Osaka University in Japan. He participated in experimental work in the ISIS spallation neutron source at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in the UK. He has taken part in the organization of several international conferences, the most recent ones in Altea (Spain, 2013, as chairman); Ufa (Russia, 2015) and Sevilla (Spain, 2016) and the next one to be held in Kyoto (Japan, 2018). Prof. Archilla has written about 60 scientific publications in international journals and books. He has been the main editor of a recent volume in Springer Series in Materials Science: Quodons in Mica, Nonlinear Localized Travelling Excitations in Crystals (2015). Some relevant articles in journals are: Nonlinear charge transport mechanism in periodic and disordered DNA, Physica D (2003), where DNA was proposed as a biological wire; Demonstration of the stability or instability of multibreathers at low coupling, Physica D (2003), with a new theoretical approach to multibreather stability; Discrete breathers for understanding reconstructive mineral processes at low temperature, Physica D (2006) which opened the field of the influence of breathers in reaction kinetics; Long range annealing of defects in germanium by low energy plasma ions, Physica D (2015) with experimental work on the annealing effect of nonlinear excitations; On the charge of quodons, Letters on Materials (2016) on the different types and charge of nonlinear excitations triggered by 40K decay in layered silicates. In preparations is an article describing experimental evidence of charge transport by nonlinear excitations.
