Termodinámica clásica. Protocolos experimentales sobre primera y segunda leyes, y sobre potenciales selectos

by Rodolfo Acevedo Chávez ...

La termodinámica puede definirse como el tema de la Física que estudia los procesos en los que se transfiere energía como calor y como trabajo. Sabemos que se efectúa trabajo cuando la energía se transfiere de un cuerpo a otro por medios mecánicos. El calor es una transferencia de energía de un cuerpo a un segundo cuerpo que está a menor temperatura. O sea, el calor es muy semejante al trabajo. ... Read more

Optical Properties of Nanostructured Metallic Systems

Studied with the Finite-Difference Time-Domain Method

by Sergio G. Rodrigo ...

Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
The common belief is that light is completely reflected by metals. In reality they also exhibit an amazing property that is not so widely known: under some conditions light flows along a metallic surface as if it were glued to it. Physical phenomena related to these light waves, which are called Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SPP), have given rise to the research field of plasmonics.This thesis ... Read more
