Synopsis
Incommensurate Phases in Dielectrics'' has been divided into two volumes. Volume 1 treats the macroscopic and microscopic theory of incommensurate systems and provides a review of the experimental techniques used to study the new phenomena. Volume 2 presents specific results obtained for some of the most representative systems currently investigated. Whilst the chapters comprise broad, up-to-date reviews on these systems, they also contain important results of the contributors who are actively engaged in research in the field.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: No Dust Jacket. Library stamps/marks/labels/pocket, otherwise light wear. Solid hardcover.; This ISBN is volume 2: Materials ONLY; does not include volume 1. Fundamentals. "Incommensurate systems are interesting from the point of view of basic physics since they show a number of new phenomena - nonlinear multi-soliton lattice-type ground states, phason and amplitudon excitations, devil's staircase, solid-state chaos, etc - which are not found in transitionally periodic crystals. The study of incomensurate systems may thus lead to an improved understanding of the a-periodic state of matter. Whereas the first volume of this monograph treats the macroscopic and microscopic theory of incommensurate systems and gives a review of the experimental techniques used to study these materials, this second volume presents the specific results obtained for some of the most representative examples. The various chapters on specific substances are written by the people who actually carried out the experiments and contributed most to the understanding of these systems. The purpose of this book is thus to give a physical picture of incommensurate insulators, as well as to give the reader an idea of how the various experimental techniques can be used for a study of the dynamic and static properties of incommensurate systems on a microscopic level." - Preface. ; Modern Problems In Condensed Matter Sciences; Ex-Library; Vol. 14.2; 402 pages.
