Phonon Scattering in Condensed Matter VII: Proceedings of the Seventh International Conference, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, August 3-7, 1992 (Springer Series in Solid-State Sciences)

Traditional and newly emerging topics of research in the field of phonon scattering and heat transport are covered by the contributions to this volume. They present in-depth information on phonon scattering in glassy andcrystalline dielectrics, semiconductors, and normal and superconducting metals. Written by active researchers in the field, the book provides an up-to-date overview on phonon imaging, surfaces and interfaces, particle detection, optical techniques, and new experimental methods. Scientists and graduate students find the most valuable informationon lattice dynamics and heat flow available to date.
