Hydrogen in Intermetallics I is the first of two volumesaiming to provide atutorial introduction to the generaltopic of hydrogen in intermetallic compounds and alloys.

This is the first of two volumes that review, for the first time, all major aspects of photorefractive effects and their applications.

Millimeter and Submillimeter Wave Spectroscopy of Solids focuses on the experimental methods and recent experimental results which are currently employed in the millimeter wave spectral range. The usefulness of the methods is discussed by reviewing experimental results on metals and semiconductors.

Whereas the first two volumes deal primarily with physical aspects such as the theory of sputtering, experimentally observed sputtering yields and surface topography changes, this volume is devoted to the characteristic properties of the sputtered particles and technological applications of sputtering.

Emphasis is placed on electronic excitations between crystal-field split levels of transition-metal and rare-earth ions in crystals, among them high-Tc superconductors and magnetic excitations that appear in superlattices containing magnetic metals.

Optical thin films and meta-materials, lasers, optical communications, light-emitting diodes, solar cells, liquid crystal technology, nanophotonics and biophotonics all play vital roles in enriching our lives.

Especially welcome is a new summary of the measured and calculated sputtering yields with an algebraic approximation formula for the energy and angular dependence of the yields, which is useful for researchers who need sputtering yields for physics research or applied problems.

In this interdisciplinary book, leading experts in underwater acoustics, seismology, acoustic medical imaging and non-destructive testing present basic concepts as well as the recent advances in imaging. The different subjects tackled show significant similarities.

Spin waves (and their quanta magnons) can effectively carry and process information in magnetic nanostructures. Here the readers will find review articles written by leading experts working on realization of magnonic devices.

In answering this question resolutely in the affirmative, I will also take the liberty to comment a bit on what makes the effort worthwhile to both the perpetrator(s) of the computational study (hereafter I will use the blanket terms modeler and model for both engineering and chemical physics contexts) and to the rest of the world.

This book covers the entire field of tunable lasers, withthe exception of dye lasers. Following an introductorychapter on common general principles, the remaining chapters- all written by leading experts in the field - each treat aparticular class of tunable laser or process.

The third volume of this book addresses central aspects of spin-dynamic phenomena on a tutorial level. This volume concentrates on new experimental techniques such as ferromagnetic-resonance-force microscopy and two-photon photoemission.
