In Modern optics and electronics, the use of new crystalline materials makes it indispensable not only to know the structure of a device but also to understand the dynamics of Physical processes occurring within it. This book provides the fundamentals of crystals dynamics. Classical and quantum mechanical models are introduced and both ideal and nonideal crystal lattices are considered. The topics discussed in this book comprise the spectrum of vibrations, the theory of phonon gas, solutions in I D crystals, the theory of quantum crystals, dislocation dynamics, the melting of 2 D crystals, second sound in crystals, lattices of magnetic bubbles, and others. The second revised and updated edition contains a completely reorganized chapter on the one-dimensional crystal lattice. Furthermore, a new chapter on elastic superlattices has been added. considerable attention is devoted to the dislocation mechanisms as a basis of the theory of plasticity and numerous technological applications of crystalline materials.Kosevich, Arnold M. is the author of 'Crystal Lattice Phonons, Solitons, Dislocations, Superlattices', published 2005 under ISBN 9783527405084 and ISBN 3527405089.
