About this title

Synopsis

Covering many techniques widely used in research, this book will help researchers in

the physical sciences and engineering solve troublesome - and potentially very time

consuming - problems in their work.

The book deals with technical difficulties that often arise unexpectedly during the use of

various common experimental methods, as well as with human error. It provides preventive

measures and solutions for such problems, thereby saving valuable time for researchers.

Some of the topics covered are: sudden leaks in vacuum systems, electromagnetic interference

in electronic instruments, vibrations in sensitive equipment, and bugs in computer software.

The book also discusses mistakes in mathematical calculations, and pitfalls in designing

and carrying out experiments. Each chapter contains a summary of its key points, to give

a quick overview of important potential problems and their solutions in a given area.

About the Author

I. R. Walker is a researcher at the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge, where he has worked for over 20 years. He received his Ph.D. there in 1992, and was an Assistant Director of Research from 1995 to 2002. His principle line of research is the physics of superconductors and other strongly correlated electron materials at ultra-low temperatures, and the development of techniques for subjecting these materials to high pressures under such conditions.
