Light Scattering in Magnetic Solids

The first unified treatment of light scattering spectroscopy, with coverage ranging from the established work on scattering from single magnons and pairs of magnons to recent developments such as scattering from magnetic surfaces and superlattices. A consistent overview is provided, with equal attention to experimental and theoretical concerns. Provides a unified approach to the theory of scattering from magnons in pure ferromagnets, ferrimagnets, and antiferromagnets. A concluding section identifies new areas of interest. Some results are published here for the first time.
