Introduction to Surface and Superlattice Excitations

By Michael G. Cottam and David R. Tilley

Book Overview

Cottam and Tilley provide an introduction to the properties of wave-like excitations associated with surfaces and interfaces. They emphasize acoustic, optic, and magnetic excitations and, apart from one section on liquid surfaces, the text focuses on solids. There have been considerable developments in the field since the first publication of the book, particularly in the understanding of the properties of superlattices and nonlinear effects, and this new edition deals with these in a comprehensive manner. Throughout the book the authors are careful to relate theory and experiment and describe all of the most important experimental techniques.
