This paper is the first review devoted to the localized-particles approach for strongly anharmonic crystals . We present mathematical basises of such an approach for classical and quantum cases and we discuss its different applications .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
