Phonon Scattering in Condensed Matter VII

The rapidly growing field of materials science and condensed matter research is highlighted in terms of phonon scattering. Special emphasis is placed on glassy and crystalline dielectrics, semiconductors, and normal and superconducting metals.

---

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 and crystalline dialectrics, 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 information on lattice dynamics and heat flow available to date.
