Personal Reflections

On December 11, 1992 colleagues and friends of Geoffrey Charles Fletcher gathered at Monash University to honour him on the occasion of his 70th birthday. The photograph on the next page of those able to attend was taken during a pause for lunch during a busy day of formal presentations and fruitful discussion. The Festschrift Symposium ended with an evening dinner at which Professor Geoff Wilson presented his personal reflections on the beginnings of condensed matter physics at Monash University, and on Geoff Fletcher's emergence as an electron band theorist.

Inelastic Interactions

An important part of condensed matter physics in recent years has involved detailed study of inelastic interactions between swift electrons and condensed matter surfaces. Here we will review some aspects of such interactions.Surface excitations have long been recognized as dominant in determining the exchange-correlation energy of charged particles outside the surface. Properties of surface and bulk polaritons, plasmons and optical phonons in plane-bounded and spherical systems will be discussed from the viewpoint of semiclassical and quantal dielectric theory. Plasmons at interfaces between dissimilar dielectrics and in superlattice configurations will also be considered.
