About this book
: |
 |
|
Solid state physics is
a complex area which needs a full arsenal of experimental |
| techniques to
uncover all its intriguing aspects. The present book
presents selected results |
| from a couple
of methods where phenomena in solids are observed from
points of view |
|
that fall somewhat
outside the experimental mainstream, but have contributed
with |
| unique
information to the understanding of magnetism,
superconductivity, point defects |
|
in metals, surface and
interface physics and the physics and chemistry of metal/hydrogen |
|
systems, in particular
diffusion phenomena. The PAC and uSR methods described
here |
|
are based on the
observations of local magnetic and electric fields and their dynamic |
| behaviour by
recording the spin motion of excited
nuclei and implanted positive muons, |
|
respectively; another
method utilizes the electrostatic interaction of protons
for the study |
|
of metallic multilayers
and their interfaces. The text is centered on
the relevant physical |
|
problems rather than
being method-oriented and puts the specific, and sometimes |
|
unique, information
gained by the above mentioned methods into a general
perspective. |

Readership:
Solid state physicists, theoretical physicists, graduate students. |
