Perspectives in Physical Acoustics cover

This Symposium was held in honor of the 70th birthday of Dan Bolef, Professor Emeritus at Washington University, who joined the physics department in 1963. The articles in this volume are by internationally known and active leaders in the area of physical acoustics who were selected on the basis of their pedagogical skills as well as their stature within the field. This book provides a broad coverage of acoustics science and is sufficiently clear and pedagogical.


Contents:
  • Foreword
  • Continuous-Wave Ultrasonics with Applications to Acoustic Magnetic Resonance: A Review (D I Bolef & R K Sundfors)
  • Acoustic Studies of Flux Line Lattices in High Tc Superconductors (C Elbaum)
  • Coherence in Disordered Systems (B Golding)
  • Some Remarks on Nuclear Acoustics Resonance History in Russia (A R Kessel & A F Izmailov)
  • Resonant Ultrasound Spectroscopy of Metal-Hydrogen Systems and High Temperature Superconductors (R G Leisure et al.)
  • Electron-Phonon, Acousto-Electric and Magneto-Elastic SAW Interactions with Superconducting Films, 2-D Electron Gas of Magnetic Films (M Levy & S C Schneider)
  • Tuning-Up a Quasicrystal (J D Maynard)
  • Interactions Between Acoustic Waves and Charge-Density Waves (G Mozurkewich)
  • Ultrasound as a Probe of Superconductivity and Magnetism in Heavy Electron Materials (B S Shivaram & G L Bullock)

Readership: Physicists and engineers.
