Phonon physics [electronic resource] : the cutting edge / edited by G.K. Horton, A.A. Maradudin.

The first two volumes in this series published twenty years ago contained chapters devoted to anharmonic properties of solids, <IT>ab initio</IT> calculations of phonons in metals and insulators, and surface phonons. In the intervening years each of these important areas of lattice dynam...
