The latest addition to this series covers a field which is commonly referred to as charge density wave dynamics. The most thoroughly investigated materials are inorganic linear chain compounds with highly anisotropic electronic properties. The volume opens with an examination of their structural properties and the essential features which allow charge density waves to develop. The behaviour of the charge density waves, where interesting phenomena are observed, is treated both from a theoretical and an experimental standpoint. The role of impurities in statics and dynamics is considered and an examination of the possible role of solitons in incommensurate charge density wave systems is given. A number of ways to describe charge density waves theoretically, using computer simulations as well as microscopical models, are presented by a truely international board of authors.

Seller's Description:
Very Good. 1989 North-Holland / Elsevier (Amsterdam, The Netherlands), 6 3/4 x 9 3/4 inches tall red cloth hardcover in publisher's unclipped dust jacket, gilt lettering to spine, illustrated with diagrams, xiii, 480 pp. A very good to near fine copy-clean, bright and unmarked, seemingly unopened-in a like dust jacket which is nicely preserved and displayed in a clear archival Brodart sleeve. Due to the weight of the book, additional postage will be required for standard international orders. ~SP45~ [3.0P] Covers a field which is commonly referred to as charge density wave dynamics.
