DESCRIPTION:
"A well-written introduction to the study of acoustic, magnetic, and optic properties associated with the surfaces of solids and liquids." Choice
Throughout the book the authors are careful to relate theory and experiment and all of the most important experimental techniques are described. The emphasis is on acoustic, optic and magnetic excitations, and, apart from one section on liquid surfaces, the text concentrates on solids. The important topic of superlattices is also discussed, in which the different kinds of excitation are considered from a unified point of view. Cottam and Tilley provide an introduction to the properties of wave-like excitations associated with su
