Topics in Applied Physics is a well-established series of review books, each of which
presents a comprehensive survey of a selected topic within the broad area of applied
physics. Edited and written by leading research scientists in the field concerned,
each volume contains review contributions covering the various aspects of the topic.
Together these provide an overview of the state of the art in the respective field,
extending from an introduction to the subject right up to the frontiers of contempo-
rary research.
Topics in Applied Physics is addressed to all scientists at universities and in industry
who wish to obtain an overview and to keep abreast of advances in applied physics.
The series also provides easy but comprehensive access to the fields for newcomers
starting research.
Contributions are specially commissioned. The Managing Editors are open to any
suggestions for topics coming from the community of applied physicists no matter
what the field and encourage prospective editors to approach them with ideas.
