Opis

A treatment of the Fermi-liquid theory of high-frequency phenomena in metals, in paricular the effects due to local features in the geometry of the Fermi surface. The text develops a consistent theory of several effects, such as cyclotron resonances in magnetic fields normal to the surface. Topics covered include: basic equations of the Fermi-liquid theory; cyclotron Doppler on waves; local anomalies in the Fermi surface; cyclotron resonancce in metals; magneto-acoustic oscillations and the local geometry of the Fermi surface.

O autorze

The Fermi surface (the surface of an abstract volume describing energies and momenta of the electrons in metal) determines the behavior of the mobile electrons in the metal, and thus affects the metal's electrical conductivity and the response to magnetic fields. This book discusses the geometry of the Fermi surface and its effects on high-frequency phenomena in metals and metallic conductors.
