Light Scattering in Solids VIII Fullerenes, Semiconductor Surfaces, Coherent Phonons

This volume is the eighth of a well-established series devoted to inelastic light scattering by solids, both as a physical effect and as a spectroscopic technique. It appears jointly with volume VII and can be considered to be its continuation. Emphasis is placed on fullerenes, Raman spectroscopy of semiconductors, surfaces, and interfaces, and coherent phonons. A survey of some of the progress in other aspects of Raman spectroscopy, in particular in the field of semiconductor nanostructures including the fractional quantum Hall effect, and in Raman spectroscopy of isotopically modified crystals rounds up the description of the present status of the field. It will be useful to advanced students and to all researchers who apply Raman spectroscopy in their work.Cardona, M. is the author of 'Light Scattering in Solids VIII Fullerenes, Semiconductor Surfaces, Coherent Phonons' with ISBN 9783540660859 and ISBN 3540660852.
