The purpose of this special volume was to provide an international forum within which to present the recent progress made in positron and positronium chemistry, and to exchange new ideas in fields of research which use positrons and positronium. This special volume covers nearly every relevant area of positron and positronium chemistry, the peer-reviewed papers being grouped into 6 sections: 1. Fundamental Aspects of Positronium Chemistry, and Symposium on Positronium Molecules; 2. Polymer and Insulator; 3. Surface and Interface, Non-Metallic Solids; 4. Porous Materials and Nanostructures; 5.

Positrons --- Positronium --- Electron-positron pairs --- Positron-electron pairs --- Electrons --- Nuclear reactions --- Positive electrons --- Holes (Electron deficiencies) --- Leptons (Nuclear physics) --- Positronium chemistry --- PPC

This text includes coverage of important topics that are not commonly featured in other textbooks on condensed matter physics; these include surfaces, the quantum Hall effect and superfluidity. The author avoids complex formalism, such as Green's functions, which can obscure the underlying physics, and instead emphasizes fundamental physical reasoning. This text is intended for classroom use, so it features plenty of references and extensive problems for solution based on the author's many years of teaching in the Physics Department at the University of Michigan. This textbook is ideal for physics graduates as well as students in chemistry and engineering; it can equally serve as a reference for research students in condensed matter physics. Engineering students in particular, will find the treatment of the fundamentals of semiconductor devices and the optics of solids of particular interest.
