Magnetic resonance force microscopy (MRFM) is a rapidly evolving field which originated in 1990s and matured recently with the first detection of a single electron spin below the surface of a non-transparent solid. Further development of MRFM techniques will have a great impact on many areas of science and technology including physics, chemistry, biology, and even medicine. Scientists, engineers, and students from various backgrounds will all be interested in this promising field.The objective of this “multi-level” book is to describe the basic principles, applications, and the advanced theory of MRFM. Focusing on the experimental oscillating cantilever-driven adiabatic reversals (OSCAR) detection technique for single electron spin, this book contains valuable research data for scientists working in the field of quantum physics or magnetic resonance. Readers unfamiliar with quantum mechanics and magnetic resonance will be able to obtain an understanding and appreciation of the basic principles of MRFM.
Volcanic seismology represents the main, and often the only, tool to forecast volcanic eruptions and to monitor the eruption process. This book describes the main types of seismic signals at volcanoes, their nature and spatial and temporal distributions at different stages of eruptive activity. Following from the success of the first edition, published in 2003, the second edition consists of 19 chapters including significant revision and five new chapters. Organized into four sections, the book begins with an introduction to the history and topic of volcanic seismology, discussing the theoretical and experimental models that were developed for the study of the origin of volcanic earthquakes. The second section is devoted to the study of volcano-tectonic earthquakes, giving the theoretical basis for their occurrence and swarms as well as case stories of volcano-tectonic activity associated with the eruptions at basaltic, andesitic, and dacitic volcanoes. There were 40 cases of volcanic eruptions at 20 volcanoes that occurred all over the world from 1910 to 2005, which are discussed. General regularities of volcano-tectonic earthquake swarms, their participation in the eruptive process, their source properties, and the hazard of strong volcano-tectonic earthquakes are also described. The third section describes the theoretical basis for the occurrence of eruption earthquakes together with the description of volcanic tremor, the seismic signals associated with pyroclastic flows, rockfalls and lahars, and volcanic explosions, long-period and very-long-period seismic signals at volcanoes, micro-earthquake swarms, and acoustic events. The final section discuss the mitigation of volcanic hazard and include the methodology of seismic monitoring of volcanic activity, the examples of forecasting of volcanic eruptions by seismic methods, and the description of seismic activity in the regions of dormant volcanoes. This book will be essential for students and practitioners of volcanic seismology to understand the essential elements of volcanic eruptions. - Provides a comprehensive overview of seismic signals at different stages of volcano eruption. - Discusses dozens of case histories from around the world to provide real-world applications. - Illustrations accompany detailed descriptions of volcano eruptions alongside the theories involved.
Vyacheslav M. Zobin's Introduction to Volcanic Seismology has steadily grown over time, offering a deeper look at the latest developments in volcanic seismology with each edition. As such, this new, fully updated fourth edition is simply titled Volcanic Seismology in a nod to the comprehensive nature it has achieved. Volcanic Seismology, Fourth Edition, covers all aspects of volcano seismology, specifically focusing on the latest studies and developments. This new edition expands to include recent seismic events in Kilauea (2018), La Soufriere (2020), and Hunga Tonga (2022). This book begins with an introduction and review of the fundamentals of volcanic seismology. After setting this foundation, several case studies in volcano-tectonic earthquakes are reviewed. This is followed by a detailed look at earthquake swarms, source properties and origins, and volcanic tremors. Different seismic signals are closely examined. The author then explores effusive and explosive activity along with lave dome growth and destruction. The book closes with an in-depth look at seismic monitoring as well as the natural seismicity of geothermal structures within volcanic environments. This essential text provides seismologists, volcanologists, and geophysicists a comprehensive review of all aspects of volcanic seismology. - Presents updated global case studies to provide real-world applications - Delivers illustrations alongside detailed descriptions of volcanic eruptions - Includes essential information that students and practitioners need to understand the essential elements of volcanic eruptions
