The book gives a comprehensive treatment of photorefractive effects in crystals and reviews our present understanding of the fundamental origins of the effect in a variety of materials from ferroelectrics to compound semiconductors, organic crystals, and polymers. Researchers in the field and graduate students of solid-state physics and engineering will gain a thorough understanding of the photorefractive effect and find a rich reference source. The other two volumes are: Photorefractive Materials and Their Applications 2 - Materials Photorefractive Materials and Their Applications 3 - Applications UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/b106782 ER -
