Physical Acoustics in the Solid State

From the reviews: "This book by LA1/4thi, one of the most renowned physical acousticians, comes a special compendium of connections to microscopic physics. a ] The overall strength of this book remains the ability to inform the reader about hundreds of fascinating phenomena of solid state physics and their exploration via physical acoustics." (Albert Migliori, Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, Vol. 119 (1), January, 2006) "The aim of this book is to present a modern account of the field of physical, solid state acoustics. The text is intended for all those who want to know what can be learned from ultrasonics about solid state. a ] In summary, this is likely to be a useful textbook for graduate students studying solid state physics. a ] It is also an interesting and challenging read for fans of applied acoustics a ] ."
