Phonons: Theory and Experiments II Experiments and Interpretation of Experimental Results

Phonons: Theory and Experiments II Experiments and Interpretation of Experimental Results / by Peter Brüesch.

The first part of this three-volume treatment, Phonons: Theory and Exper­ iments I, has been devoted to the basic concepts of the physics of phonons and to a study of models of interatomic forces. The present second volume, Phonons: Theory and Experiments II, contains a thorough study of experi­ men...
