Houellebecq has become a global publishing phenomenon: his books have been translated worldwide, three film adaptations of his work have been produced, and the author has been the subject of million-euro publishing deals and of successive media scandals in France.If Houellebecq is unique in contemporary French writing, it is thanks not only to his extraordinary success, but to the unparalleled scope of his narrative ambition. In the work which most forcefully marked his breakthrough to the mainstream - Les Particules e?le?mentaires - Houellebecq made a significant appeal to the science-fiction genre in order to undergird his critique of contemporary society. For Houellebecq presents humanity - at least modern, western humanity - as in a terminal state of decadence and decline and ripe for replacement by its post-human successor. His novels narrate a metaphysical mutation or paradigm shift through which humanity as we know it ceases to be the over-riding value or focus of our world when it comes into conflict with a competitor in the form of a post-human or neo-human species.It is the aim of this book to appraise the global significance of Houellebecq's novelistic visions while at the same time situating them within the context of French literature, culture and society. 410 0$aContemporary French and Francophone Cultures 606 $aLiterary Criticism / European / French$2bisacsh 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 610 $aLanguages 610 $aFrench 610 $aHuman sexuality 610 $aMichel Houellebecq 610 $aPlatform (novel) 610 $aThe Map and the Territory 615 7$aLiterary Criticism / European / French 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 676 $a843.914 700 $aMorrey$b Douglas$0927322 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910168754803321 996 $aMichel Houellebecq$92083547 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03719nam 22005413 450 001 9911020036203321 005 20240205120216.0 010 $a9783527806089 010 $a3527806083 010 $a9783527806058 010 $a3527806059 035 $a(CKB)4330000000010830 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC31102310 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL31102310 035 $a(Exl-AI)31102310 035 $a(OCoLC)1420629475 035 $a(Perlego)4334404 035 $a(EXLCZ)994330000000010830 100 $a20240205d2024 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aMuon Spin Spectroscopy $eMethods and Applications in Chemistry and Materials Science 205 $a1st ed. 210 1$aNewark :$cJohn Wiley & Sons, Incorporated,$d2024. 210 4$dİ2024. 215 $a1 online resource (258 pages) 311 08$a9783527342365 311 08$a3527342362 327 $aCover -- Title Page -- Copyright -- Contents -- Preface -- Chapter 1 Perspective and Introductory Remarks -- 1.1 What Do Muons Bring to Chemistry? -- 1.2 Muon Facilities and Background to Experimental Muon Techniques -- 1.3 The Development of Muonium Chemistry -- References -- Chapter 2 Muon Beams and Spin Spectroscopy -- 2.1 Spin?Polarized Muon Beams -- 2.2 Muon Decay and Detection of Its Spin Polarization -- 2.3 Continuous Versus Pulsed Muon Beams -- 2.4 ?SR Spectrometers -- 2.5 Spectroscopy of Muons in Diamagnetic Environments -- 2.5.1 Diamagnetic Muons in a Longitudinal Field -- 2.5.2 Diamagnetic Muons in a Transverse Field -- 2.5.3 Diamagnetic Muons in Zero Magnetic Field -- 2.6 Spectroscopy of Muonium -- 2.6.1 Muonium in a Transverse Field -- 2.6.2 Muonium in a Longitudinal Field -- 2.7 TF??SR of Muoniated Radicals -- 2.7.1 Muoniated Radicals in Isotropic Environments -- 2.7.2 Muoniated Radicals in Anisotropic Environments -- 2.7.3 Polarization Transfer from Precursor to Radical -- 2.8 Avoided Level?Crossing Resonance of Muoniated Radicals -- 2.9 RF Muon Spin Resonance of Muoniated Radicals -- 2.10 Longitudinal?Field Repolarization Studies of Muoniated Radicals -- References$7Generated by AI. 330 $aThis comprehensive reference, 'Muon Spin Spectroscopy: Methods and Applications in Chemistry and Materials Science,' authored by Donald G. Fleming, Iain McKenzie, and Paul W. Percival, explores the utilization of muons in chemical and material science research. The text delves into the principles and techniques of muon spin spectroscopy and its application to various complex systems, from chemical reactivity in the gas phase to condensed phases and materials chemistry. It provides insights into muonium chemistry, including the behavior of muoniated radicals, and covers topics such as spin relaxation studies and the interaction of muons with soft matter, organic materials, and biological systems. This book is targeted at researchers and professionals in the fields of chemistry and materials science, aiming to expand their understanding of muonic interactions and spectroscopic techniques.$7Generated by AI. 606 $aMuon spin rotation$7Generated by AI 606 $aMaterials science$7Generated by AI 615 0$aMuon spin rotation 615 0$aMaterials science 676 $a539.72114 700 $aFleming$b Donald G$01841724 701 $aMcKenzie$b Iain$01841725 701 $aPercival$b Paul W$01841726 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911020036203321 996 $aMuon Spin Spectroscopy$94421559 997 $aUNINA
