About this title

Synopsis

The past decade has witnessed breakthroughs in the understanding of the wave localization phenomena and its implications for wave multiple scattering in inhomogeneous media. This book brings together review articles written by noted researchers in this field in a tutorial manner so as to give the readers a coherent picture of its status. It would be valuable both as an up-to-date reference for active researchers as well as a readable source for students looking to gain an understanding of the latest results.

Review

"... this volume is a valuable contribution to the literature dealing with localization phenomena. It is an excellent reference for researchers already working in this field, and an excellent introduction to it for those wishing to enter it." Waves in Random Media,1992 "Each of the contributions is of high quality. The editor deserves compliments on his choice of authors and his diligence in guiding the organization and writing of the chapters. The book is an appropriate addition to the personal library of anyone working in a field involving propagation of light or acoustic waves through randomly structured condensed matter..."
