Shudo K.-I., Katayama I., Ohno S.-Y. Frontiers in Optical Methods. Nano-Characterization and Coherent Control

Springer International Publishing, 2014. — 228 p. — (Springer Series in Optical Sciences 180). — ISBN: 978-3-642-40593-8; 978-3-642-40594-5.This collection of reviews by leading Japanese researchers covers topics like ultrafast optical responses, terahertz and phonon studies, super-sensitive surface and high-pressure spectroscopy, combination of visible and x-ray photonics. Several related areas at the cutting edge of measurement technology and materials science are included. This book is partly based on well-cited review articles in the Japanese language in special volumes of the Journal of the Vacuum Society of Japan.Introduction: Ultra-Fast Response of Ultra-Thin Materials on Solid Surfaces.
