Book ·
OSTI ID:5997281
This book is an introduction to the solid state for students and non-specialists. Authors aim to relate the macroscopic properties of solids (usually crystalline) to models of their atomic structure. Thermal expansion, the electronic conductivity of metals, ferromagnetism, plastic deformation and diffusion in real systems are among specific topics addressed. Advanced mathematical explanations are set off from the rest of the text in boxed sections for readers wishing a more indepth treatment of topics. Abbreviated bibliography included. For academic collections in solid state physics.
