This book presents the current knowledge about nonlinear localized
travelling excitations in crystals. Excitations can be vibrational,
electronic, magnetic or of many other types, in many different
types of crystals, as silicates, semiconductors and metals. The
book is dedicated to the British scientist FM Russell, recently
turned 80. He found 50 years ago that a mineral mica muscovite was
able to record elementary charged particles and much later that
also some kind of localized excitations, he called them quodons,
was also recorded. The tracks, therefore, provide a striking
experimental evidence of quodons existence. The first chapter by
him presents the state of knowledge in this topic. It is followed
by about 18 chapters from world leaders in the field, reviewing
different aspects, materials and methods including experiments,
molecular dynamics and theory and also presenting the latest
results. The last part includes a personal narration of FM Russell
of the deciphering of the marks in mica. It provides a unique way
to present the science in an accessible way and also illustrates
the process of discovery in a scientist's mind.
