The first article in this volume, by Drickamer, surveys the effect of high
pressure upon the electronic structure of solids. This is the fourth article
in this series on high pressiire physics, the preceding articles being by
Rice, McQueen, and Walsh (Volume 6), Swenson (Volume ll), and Bundy
and Strong (Volume 13).
In the second article, which is by Low and Offenbacher, the results of
electron spin resonance experiments on magnetic ions, in various oxide
crystals are reviewed. Other aspects of ESR spectroscopy have been treated
in earlier articles in this series by Low (Supplement a), Ludwig and Woodbury
(Volume 13), and Jarrett (Volume 14). In the third article, Einspruch
describes the application of ultrasonic techniques to studies of the properties
of semiconductors. In the final article of this volume, Kubo, Miyake, and
Hashitsume treat the theory of the galvanomagnetic effect at high magnetic
fields. Earlier articles by Jan (Volume 5) and by Kahn and Frederikse
(Volume 9) treated closely related topics
