This fourth volume in the series 'Physics and Chemistry of
Materials with Layered Structures' is concerned with providing a
critical review of the significant optical and electrical
properties by established authors who have themselves made many
significant contributions to these fields. Research into these
materials has recently gained a new impetus and their fascinating
properties have attracted many new research workers. These people
should find much of value in the reviews contained in this volume
and the editor is very much indebted for the painstaking and hard
work put into the preparation of the various chapters by the
authors. The optical properties provide useful information for
deriving the band struc tures, a knowledge of which is required for
an interpretation of measurements on the electronic properties. The
chapters by Dr Evans, Dr Williams and Dr Bordas describe different
techniques which have provided much detailed data on this subject.
An interesting property of these materials is the comparative ease
with which thin specimens may be prepared for these measurements
and this is highlighted in the super conducting experiments
outlined by Professor Frindt and Dr Huntley. These authors together
with Dr Vandenberg's chapter on the magnetic properties also
describe the interesting and significant intercalation mechanisms
whereby a wide range of organic compounds and alkali metals may be
incorporated in the lattice. This provides an additional parameter
for varying the properties of these materials and may yet be seen
to provide eventual possible applications of layer compounds."
