Overview

Suitable for researchers and graduate students in physics and material science, Physical Acoustics in the Solid State reviews the modern aspects in the field, including many experimental results, especially those involving ultrasonics. Practically all fields of solid-state physics are covered: metals, semiconductors, magnetism, superconductivity, different kinds of phase transitions, low-dimensional systems, and the quantum Hall effect. After a review of the relevant experimental techniques and an introduction to the theory of elasticity, emphasizing the symmetry aspects, applications in the various fields of condensed matter physics are presented. Also treated are Brillouin-scattering results and results from thermodynamic investigations, such as thermal expansion and specific heat.

Reviews

From the reviews: This book by LA1/4thi, one of the most renowned physical acousticians, comes a special compendium of connections to microscopic physics. a ] The overall strength of this book remains the ability to inform the reader about hundreds of fascinating phenomena of solid state physics and their exploration via physical acoustics. (Albert Migliori, Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, Vol. 119 (1), January, 2006) The aim of this book is to present a modern account of the field of physical, solid state acoustics. The text is intended for all those who want to know what can be learned from ultrasonics about solid state. a ] In summary, this is likely to be a useful textbook for graduate students studying solid state physics. a ] It is also an interesting and challenging read for fans of applied acoustics a ] .
