Exotic Atoms in Condensed Matter

By G. Benedek

Subjects: Nuclear physics, Physics, Nuclear fusion, Condensed matter, Atoms, Muons, Physical organic chemistry

Description: "Exotic Atoms in Condensed Matter" reviews the state of the art in this field, from meson factories to the basic interactions of muons in condensed matter. The application of muon- and pion-based analysis of solid state structural, magnetic and superconducting properties is discussed. The spectroscopic features of exotic atoms are reviewed together with their application to chemical analysis. Also, muon-catalyzed fusion is presented.
