Surface Phonons and Polaritons.

Abstract

An extensive review is given of surface phenomena associated with phonons and polaritons. Among the topics discussed are surface modes of vibration, surface specific heat, interaction of defects with surfaces, surface atom mean square displacements, surface thermal expansion, and surface wave attenuation. Explicit examples of a number of these phenomena are worked out in detail. (Author)
