The present state of theoretical and experimental investigations of the light scattering near
phase transition points in solids is reviewed. It is emphasized that the results available here …

We present new numerical and theoretical results concerning kink-antikink collisions in the
classical (nonintegrable) φ 4 field model in one-dimensional space. Earlier numerical …

Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) has been one of the pioneering techniques used
for detecting Structural Phase Transitions (SPT) and detennining the space groups involved …

For this new journal dealing with nonlinear phenomena we review the setting of several
important current problems in the physics of condensed matter (solids, liquids). We show …

The statistical mechanics of one-dimensional scalar fields governed by nonlinear wave
equations having solitary-wave (soliton) solutions are discussed in detail. Previously …

Much progress has been achieved during the last two decades in the theoretical
understanding of dynamical properties of solids, especially of disordered and anharmonic …

The fundamental inconsistencies inherent in classical theories of structural phase transitions
are discussed as a prelude to a review of the contemporary theory, emphasizing the …

Infrared reflectivity measurements are performed with a scanning interferometer on a single
crystal over a wide range of temperature (300-1350K) especially in the cubic paraelectric …
