Description: "This is the first book to present a coherent overview of new techniques for studying the properties of both magnetic materials and nonmagnetic metals by measuring changes in the polarization of transverse ultrasonic waves. These techniques are analogous to the well-known Faraday, Kerr, and Cotton-Mouton magneto-optical effects. Much of the recent work in this area was done in the former Soviet Union and is not widely known in the West.".

"This book should interest workers in the areas of materials science and engineering, solid state physics, and physical acoustics. It includes an extensive and up-to-date bibliography with more than 200 references to published literature."--BOOK JACKET.
