The book describes the operating principles of CMOS images sensors, their architecture and performance, on-chip and external electronics, and characterisation techniques. Most of the book explores the pinned photodiode pixel, the experimental methods for image sensor characterisation, and presents many practical examples.

This book is a multidisciplinary introduction to quantum field theory. The first volume introduces wide ranging topics from topics including free (noninteracting) fields, field quantization, interacting fields, Feynman diagrams, scattering, cross sections and decay rates; renormalization; symmetry, symmetry breaking and Goldstone bosons.

This book examines our understanding of electrostatic phenomena on the different planetary surfaces in the solar system using knowledge gathered from instrumentation on space exploration missions.

This is the third volume in a set of books describing state-of-the-art theories and applications of magnetically confined fusion plasmas. This volume presents advanced kinetic theory, aiming to fill the gap between plasma physics textbooks and up-to-date research developments in this field. Due to the complexity of magnetic confinement geometry, kinetic theory for fusion plasmas is also inherently complex. This requires in-depth physical considerations and skilled mathematical treatments. Guiding center theory, drift kinetic theory, gyrokinetic theory, as well as kinetic variational principles are thoroughly reviewed. Applications of these theories to fusion plasma research are also described. This book will appeal to graduate students and researchers in plasma physics.Key Features: The first book to fully focus on advanced kinetic theory for magnetically confined fusion plasmasFills the gap between existing textbooks and cutting-edge research in plasma physicsSelf-contained, covering advanced theory with detailed mathematical treatments

This book provides global case studies of environmental military range management, written by experts with first-hand experience of contamination, remediation, sampling, analysis, and environmental management. Each chapter provides a key lessons summary to support knowledge sharing and best practice evidence-based decision-making. It will be of particular interest to environmental scientists and managers, defence specialists, and those working within the military sphere.

This book bridges the gap between the clinical practice and the engineering of lens design. It explores advances in refractive correction in ophthalmic optics, with a focus on current and future intraocular lenses, and presents challenges for lenses with premium features as extended depth of focus and integrated functions.The text innovatively presents the content of ophthalmic lens design in a multidisciplinary fashion, combining the knowledge and experience of collaborative work among physicists, ophthalmologists, and engineers.
