Publisher's Synopsis
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.;The theory of scattering from magnons in pure ferromagnets, ferrimagnets, and antiferromagnets is covered, and concluding section identifies new areas of interest and some results are published for the first time.
