Magnonics: Interface Transmission Tutorial Book Series provides up-to-date and concise summaries of the present knowledge of interface transmission science. The series' volumes foster the exchange of ideas among scientists interested in different aspects of interface transmission, with each release designed as a text, a reference, and a source. The series serves as an introduction to advanced graduate students, researchers and scientists with little acquaintance with the subject, and is also useful in keeping specialists informed about general progress in the field. A detailed description of mathematical languages is provided in an appendix, enabling readers to find composite system linear transmission properties. All scientists who contribute to these volume have worked in interface transmission in composite systems over many years, providing a thorough and comprehensive understanding of magnonics.

Photonics, a volume in the Interface Transmission Tutorial Book series, describes the science of photonic transmission properties of the interfaces of composite materials systems and devices. The book's authors review the general analysis methods of interface transmission, give many examples, and apply these methods to photonic applications. Applications discussed include photonic crystals, materials, devices and circuits.

Phononics: Interface Transmission Tutorial Book Series provides an investigation of modern systems that includes a discrete matrix description. Classical continuous systems relying on the use of differential equations are recalled, showing that they generally have a specific limit on their corresponding modern matrix formulation. A detailed description of the mathematical languages that enables readers to find the composite system linear transmission properties is provided in the appendix. The physical model is described with exacting detail, and the bibliography is built to cite-in chronological order-all the scientists that have contributed over many years. Each volume is written with the aim of providing an up-to-date and concise summary of the present knowledge of interface transmission science, thus fostering the exchange of ideas among scientists interested in different aspects of interface transmission. The book serves as an introduction to advanced graduate students, researchers, and scientists with little study on the subject, and is also useful to help keep specialists informed on general progress in the field.

Ce travail presente une synthese de mes resultats de recherche sur la propagation et la localisation des excitations elementaires (phonon, photon et electron) dans les materiaux multicouches unidimensionnels qui peuvent etre, selon les cas, periodiques, quasi-periodiques ou juste composees de quelques structures deposees sur un substrat ou inserees entre deux substrats. Notre interet a porte principalement sur la propagation des ondes acoustiques dans les materiaux multicouches de type elastique/acoustique ou piezoelectrique ainsi que sur les ondes electromagnetiques dans les super-reseaux dielectriques et les guides d'ondes quasi-unidimensionnels... Quelques travaux ont aussi porte sur les etats electroniques dans les super- reseaux semi-conducteurs. Notre objectif a ete d'etudier l'effet de la presence des inhomogeneites dans ces structures telles que: la surface libre, l'interface avec un substrat homogene ou l'existence d'une cavite. Les resultats sont obtenus a partir d'un calcul analytique detaille des fonctions de Green afin d'acceder aux relations de dispersion, les densites d'etats locale et totale et les coefficients de reflexion et de transmission.
