A great deal of interest has emerged in recent years to design novel compound semiconductor materials to fulfill the growing societal needs of efficient light sources, powerful solar cells, miniaturized-electronic-circuitry for lab-on-chip equipment, and a plethora of handheld o…
The decay properties of the low-lying levels of 207Pb and 116Cd have been investigated with the (n,n′ γ) reaction. Gamma-ray excitation functions, angular distributions, and coincidence measurements were used to establish the lower-energy portions of the level schemes of both is…
In this thesis, we have used temperature-sensitive microgel colloidal particles to create crystals that combine topological order and interaction disorder. We directly calculate the vibrational density of states and normal modes' structures from instantaneous particle fluctuatio…
This book provides a comprehensive treatment of the two fundamental aspects of a solid that determine its physical properties: lattice structure and atomic vibrations (phonons). The elements of group theory are extensively developed and used as a tool to show how the symmetry of…

"This unique volume presents an original approach to physical acoustics with additional emphasis on the most useful surface acoustic waves on solids. The study is based on foundational work of Léon Brillouin, and application of the celebrated invariance theorem of Emmy Noether t…
