Local Geometry of the Fermi Surface

by Zimbovskaya Nataliya

"This book discusses the local geometry of the Fermi surface and its effects on high-frequency phenomena in metals and metallic conductors.". "After an introductory chapter reviewing the electron-liquid theory of metals, the discussion turns to techniques useful in analyzing properties of real Fermi surfaces, which are rarely spherical. In subsequent chapters these techniques are applied to concrete problems such as the anomalous skin effect, cyclotron resonance, attenuation of ultrasonic fields, dopplerons, the effects of zero-curvature portions of the Fermi surface, and the behavior of the Fermi surface in low-dimensional structures."--BOOK JACKET.
