Summary

• "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.

Subjects
