Abstract

This is a review of selected experimental and theoretical advances in the subject of lattice vibrations over the past several years. A general approach to the properties of phonon fields is presented, then the use of inelastic neutron scattering experiments and topologically consistent interpolation methods for phonon dispersion relations are reviewed. Localized modes of vibration are discussed, and a new method of ``effective moduli'' is presented.
