Book excerpt: Forty two scientific articles detailing the results of this research are abstracted and interrelated. Nine papers deal with the optical properties of solids including; Ab Initio Calculation of Crystal Tensor, Light Scattering, Morphic Effects, Group Theory, and Impurity Induced Absorption. Twenty eight papers deal with surface properties including; Surface Excitations, Spacial Dispersion Effects, Surface Roughness, Thermodynamic Properties, Lattice Dynamics and Edge Modes. Three papers discuss the possibility of the coexistence of Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) pairing and the Peierls distortion in one-dimensional conducting systems. Finally two papers reported the results of Raman and Brillouin scattering experiments. The work has wide implications for laser interactions with solids; and, electronic and optical signal processing and transmission. (Author).
