Zusammenfassung Using many original and striking illustrations! this text illuminates the basic theory and observations of vibrational-wave propagation in crystalline solids. Phonons are elementary vibrational quanta! and new imaging techniques provide insights into the processes of phonon focusing! lattice dynamics! ultrasound propagation! phonon scattering from interfaces! superlattices! defects and electrons. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; Prologue; 1. Ballistic heat pulses and phonon imaging - a first look; 2. Phonon focusing; 3. Generation and detection of phonons - experimental aspects; 4. Focusing in cubic crystals; 5. Acoustic symmetry and piezoelectricity; 6. Lattice dynamics; 7. Imaging of dispersive phonons; 8. Phonon dynamics; 9. Bulk scattering of phonons; 10. Quasidiffusion and the phonon source; 11. Phonon scattering at interfaces; 12. Refraction and reflection at solid/solid interfaces - experiment; 13. Imaging ultrasound in crystals; 14. Imaging surface acoustic waves; 15. Interactions of ballistic phonons with electrons; Appendices; Index.
