In recent years there have been exciting developments in techniques for producing multilayered structures of different materials, often with thicknesses as small as only a few atomic layers. These artificial structures, known as superlattices, can either be grown with the layers stacked in an alternating fashion (the periodic case) or according to some other well-defined mathematical rule (the quasiperiodic case). This book describes research on the excitations (or wave-like behavior) of these materials, with emphasis on how the material properties are coupled to photons (the quanta of the light or the electromagnetic radiation) to produce "mixed" waves called polaritons. รยท Clear and comprehensive account of polaritons in multilayered structures รยท Covers both periodic and quasiperiodic superlattices รยท Careful attention to theoretical developments and tools รยท Invaluable guide for researchers in this field รยท Shows developments from the basics to advanced topics

Attention is focussed on the fact that the J~-Mn, the rr-phase and the AIsTi 3 and the AI,~Ti7 superlattice derivatives of the ~'-AITi phase all belong to a category of structures which comprises an identical periodic arrangement of square and rhombic tiles -the shapes of the rhombic tiles being dif
