Invitation to physical chemistry
This is a unique book with a different aim from other books on the subject. The idea is to provide readers with the \"big picture\" first, yet at a level that helps further the study of physical chemistry. The text covers all the important topics in physical chemistry--thermodynamics, statistical thermodynamics, quantum chemistry, and chemical kinetics--staying rigorously close to the basic theory, using appropriate mathematics but avoiding long derivations. Moreover, the book is supplemented by a CD-ROM to make it more comprehensive, interactive and useful for a wider audience. The CD-ROM contains examples, extended discussion, exercises and details of important derivations to reinforce understanding of physical chemistry. --Book Jacket.

Stochastic processes in physics and chemistry
The third edition of Van Kampen's standard work has been revised and updated.The main difference with the second edition is that the contrived application of the quantum master equation in section 6 of chapter XVII has been replaced with a satisfactory treatment of quantum fluctuations.

On higher structures in mathematical physics
These are (extended) lecture notes from a talk given at the Gürses-Fest conference: Celebrating the distinguished career of Prof. Metin Gürses, held at Bilkent University in Ankara, Türkiye, in 2025. These notes offer a mathematical introduction to categorical constructions and higher spaces in theoretical physics, along with several examples.

Observed brain dynamics
The biomedical sciences have recently undergone revolutionary change, due to the ability to digitize and store large data sets. In neuroscience, the data sources include measurements of neural activity measured using electrode arrays, EEG and MEG, brain imaging data from PET, fMRI, and optical imaging methods. Analysis, visualization, and management of these time series data sets is a growing field of research that has become increasingly important both for experimentalists and theorists interested in brain function. The first part of the book contains a set of chapters which provide non-technical conceptual background to the subject. Salient features include the adoption of an active perspective of the nervous system, an emphasis on function, and a brief survey of different theoretical accounts in neuroscience. The second part is the longest in the book, and contains a refresher course in mathematics and statistics leading up to time series analysis techniques. The third part contains applications of data analysis techniques to the range of data sources indicated above, and the fourth part contains special topics.

Chiral magnetic effect in ZrTe5
A magnetotransport study of zirconium pentatelluride now reveals evidence for a chiral magnetic effect, a striking macroscopic manifestation of the quantum and relativistic nature of Weyl semimetals.
The chiral magnetic effect is the generation of an electric current induced by chirality imbalance in the presence of a magnetic field. It is a macroscopic manifestation of the quantum anomaly

, that provides strong evidence for the chiral magnetic effect. Our angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy experiments show that this material’s electronic structure is consistent with a three-dimensional Dirac semimetal. We observe a large negative magnetoresistance when the magnetic field is parallel with the current. The measured quadratic field dependence of the magnetoconductance is a clear indication of the chiral magnetic effect. The observed phenomenon stems from the effective transmutation of a Dirac semimetal into a Weyl semimetal induced by parallel electric and magnetic fields that represent a topologically non-trivial gauge field background. We expect that the chiral magnetic effect may emerge in a wide class of materials that are near the transition between the trivial and topological insulators.

Ions in Solution and their Solvation
The book starts with an exposition of the relevant properties of ions and continues with a description of their solvation in the gas phase. The book contains a large amount of factual information in the form of extensive tables of critically examined data and illustrations of the points made throughout. It covers: * the relevant properties of prospective liquid solvents for the ions * the process of the transfer of ions from the gas phase into a liquid where they are solvated * various aspects of the solutions of the ions, such as structural and transport ones and the effects of the ions on the solvent dynamics and structure * what happens in cases where the solvent is a mixture selective solvation takes place * applications of the concepts expounded previously in fields such as electrochemistry, hydrometallurgy, separation chemistry, biophysics, and synthetic methods
