Introduction to Surface and Superlattice Excitations

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

An introduction to the properties of wavelike excitations associated with surfaces and interfaces. 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.

Table of contents:
Peface; 1. Introduction; 2. Surface waves on elastic media and liquids; 3. Surface magnons; 4. Surface magnetostatic modes; 5. Electronic surface states and dielectric functions; 6. Surface polaritons; 7. Layered structures and superlattices; 8. Concluding remarks; Appendix; References; Index.
