Iqbal, Z; Owens, F J

This multiauthor volume reviews the application of infrared, light scattering, and neutron scattering spectroscopies to the study of phase transitions. Aside from a chapter on phase and conformational transitions in biological systems, the focus is on structural phase transitions in solids and the behavior of soft modes that couple to the relevant order parameters. There are, of course, numerous other books that cover similar material. However, the inclusion of several, different vibrational spectroscopic techniques makes this volume rather unique, and it nicely complements the other existing reviews in this field.
