Publisher's Synopsis
Volume V contains the controversial experimental discovery of the thermal diffuse X-ray reflections and the temperature-independent diffuse reflections which Raman thought were due to the interactions of X-rays with optical phonons. A further set of papers deal with the theory of the dynamics of crystal lattices, which brought about a re-examination of Born's well-known lattice dynamics. Through this, the concept of singularities clearly emerged. It was then proven that Raman's simple theory was a part of the more comprehensive Born theory. Raman and Viswanathan developed a new view of the theory of elasticity, in which the symmetries of the stress and strain tensors and the number of independent elastic constants differed form the standard view.;Scientists, scientific institutes, university libraries, technology institutes and libraries, government laboratories and physics research centres.
