Foundations of Experimental Physics
Unraveling the Premises of Physical and Scientific Knowledge
Inbunden, Engelska, 2024

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Standard STEM courses, for all of their value, do not tend to include systematic lectures or treatment about the nature of the scientific method. This book aims to provide a wide reflection on the general principles of physics and explore the foundations of scientific knowledge as a whole. The author delves into the study of what lies at the basis of science in general, and physics in particular. Themes such as the relation between natural phenomena and mathematical language are addressed, highlighting the main hubs of conceptual development in science. The volume also examines the conceptual and practical instruments that have been progressively developed to investigate the nature of physics. Furthermore, the author discusses the importance of “scientific practice” within the scientific community, emphasizing its role in advancing knowledge and how it contributes to physics as a whole. Divided into three parts, each covering different aspects of physics and its foundations, the text, while assuming basic knowledge of physics and mathematics taught in university courses, is accessible to all STEM students, and will be useful for anyone looking to gain valuable insights into the nature of physics and the methods used to acquire knowledge in this field.

Le fondamenta della fisica sperimentale

Questo libro ha lo scopo di fornire un’ampia riflessione sui principi generali della fisica e gli elementi fondanti della conoscenza scientifica nella loro unitarietà. Sfruttando largamente il pensiero di molti tra i più grandi scienziati, esso offre una chiara comprensione dei fondamenti della fisica e del suo metodo sperimentale, ponendo in risalto le correlazioni tra i principali eterogenei elementi che vi stanno alla base. Si ricorda come le scienze sperimentali non siano statiche ma, al contrario, soggette a continui studi e ripensamenti. Nell'affrontare la mancanza di lezioni o trattazioni sistematiche sulla natura del metodo scientifico nei tradizionali corsi universitari tecnico-scientifici, l'autore si addentra così nello studio di ciò che sta alla base della scienza in generale, e della fisica in particolare. Sono trattati temi quali la relazione tra fenomeni naturali e il linguaggio matematico, mettendo in risalto i principali snodi dello sviluppo concettuale nella scienza. Inoltre l’autore discute l’importanza della “pratica scientifica” sottolineandone il ruolo nell’avanzamento della conoscenza scientifica, e il modo con cui essa contribuisce alla fisica nel suo complesso.Il libro è suddiviso in tre parti, ciascuna delle quali copre differenti aspetti della fisica e dei suoi fondamenti: la prima parte riguarda le radici fenomenologiche e gli strumenti basilari della disciplina; la seconda si concentra sulla struttura della conoscenza scientifica; la terza tratta i metodi pratici dell’indagine scientifica. Il libro rimane accessibile per qualsiasi studente di discipline tecnico-scientifiche, poiché un non fisico sarà agevolmente in grado di trovare facilmente in libri di testo di natura introduttiva spiegazioni di quei concetti fondamentali dati per assodati.
Fröhlich Entropy Estimation and Dielectric Calorimetry
A Flexible Investigation Technique for Condensed Matter

This volume highlights the potential of an experimental approach, which offers a relatively simple and inexpensive alternative to conventional techniques. Its basis is the set of changes of thermodynamic variables that occur when an electric field is applied to an ideal dielectric. If these processes are experimentally measured as a function of temperature, and suitable hypotheses are met, many thermodynamic quantities can be derived from dielectric physical quantities. This enables a shift from standard dielectric thermal analysis to a more targeted dielectric calorimetry.A central parameter affected by the electric field is the entropy variation known as Fröhlich entropy (FE), introduced by H. Fröhlich. When the imaginary part of the static dielectric function is negligible, far from resonances, FE can be calculated, under the right assumptions, from the real part of the dielectric function. Fröhlich suggested that FE reflects the state of order of the system, making it a useful figure of merit.Assuming this interpretation, FE values offer insight into the behavior of materials, particularly with respect to temperature, phase stability, transitions, and order–disorder processes. Because the underlying assumptions are weak, the method applies to many physical systems and effectively extends traditional dielectric techniques.FE estimation has been successfully used across diverse areas of condensed matter physics, including dipolar liquids, liquid and nematic crystals, dipolar glasses, organic molecular crystals, semiconductors, metallic nanoparticles, inorganic disordered ferroelectrics, proteins, and enzymes. This breadth demonstrates its reliability and its significant, still underexplored, potential.
