Overview
The Second Mexican Meeting on Mathematical and Experimental Physics brought together scientists from many different fields. The Meeting was divided into three Symposia: (i) Materials Science and Applied Physics, (ii) Statistical Physics and Beyond, (iii) Gravitation and Cosmology. This volume corresponds to the Materials Science and Applied Physics symposium and contains contributions in a wide range of subjects reflecting the research being performed at several Mexican universities and institutes as well as some outstanding invited speakers from abroad showing us some areas where, for several reasons, Mexico has developed little or no research. All the papers report original high-quality research work in subjects such as: (i) laser materials processing and laser ablation, (ii) optical properties of materials with scattered laser light, (iii) biophysics and biosystems, (iv) complex fluids and (v) optical manipulation of microparticles with laser beams.Synopsis
Like the first in 2001, the conference was designed to spread the results of research conducted at the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitan and other Mexican research institutes and universities, first to their own advanced undergraduate and graduate students and post-doctoral fellow, and second to Mexican graduate students in general. The 14 lectures here are from the material science and applied physics symposium—one of three comprising the meeting—and cover laser materials processing and optical properties of materials, and biosystems and complex liquids. Among specific topics are vortex beams and modern techniques in optical micromanipulation, and bound and free water in surfactant micelles and lipid vesicles. There is no subject index.
