Introduction to Surface and Superlattice Excitations, Second Edition
“Introduction to Surface and Superlattice Excitations, Second Edition” by Michael G. Cottam, published by Taylor & Francis on October 31, 2004, is a comprehensive resource spanning 516 pages. This edition presents an introduction to the properties of wave-like excitations associated with surfaces and interfaces, focusing primarily on acoustic, optic, and magnetic excitations in solids, with a brief discussion on liquid surfaces. The text emphasizes the relationship between theory and experiment, making it accessible to readers with a foundational knowledge of undergraduate physics.
Readers will find a thorough exploration of superlattices and various excitation types from a unified perspective. The book includes detailed descriptions of important experimental techniques and extensive references for further research. Each chapter features problems designed to reinforce the concepts discussed, making it a valuable tool for those studying condensed matter physics, materials science, and related fields.
Official synopsis Publisher
Cottam and Tilley provide an introduction to the properties of wave-like 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.
Throughout the book, the authors are careful to relate theory and experiment and all of the most important experimental techniques are described. The theoretical treatment assumes only a knowledge of undergraduate physics, except for Green function methods that are used in a few sections; these methods are developed in an appendix. The book also contains extensive references, enabling the reader to consult the research and review literature. Each of the main chapters contains problems to allow the reader to develop topics presented in the text.
