Much progress has been made in the understanding of the general properties of the dielectric function and in the calculation of this quantity for many classes o

Recent developments in microelectronics technologies have created a great demand for interlayer dielectric materials with a very low dielectric constant. They w

This volume presents six articles describing theoretical and experimental research of interest in optics. The articles review applications of the Wigner distrib
