Kittel Ch. Introduction to solid state physics

Oxford Book Company, 2009, ISBN: 9380179073, 286 pages Solid-state physics, the largest branch of condensed matter physics, is the study of rigid matter, or solids, through methods such as quantum mechanics, crystallography, electromagnetism and metallurgy. Solid-state physics considers how the large-scale properties of solid materials result from their atomic-scale properties. Solid-state physics thus forms the theoretical basis of materials...

Wiley, 2010, 281 pages, ISBN: 0470721359, 047071039X Mechanics and Physics of Porous Solids addresses the mechanics and physics of deformable porous materials whose porous space is filled by one or several fluid mixtures interacting with the solid matrix. Coussy uses the language of thermodynamics to frame the discussion of this topic and bridge the gap between physicists and engineers, and organises the material in such a way that individual...

Wiley, 1998,770 pages Taking an original, imaginative approach to the subject, Stephen Elliott's book is one of the first to bridge the gap between solid state physics and chemistry. Considerable thought has gone into the structure and content of this book, with the first four chapters covering the properties of atoms in solids and the remaining four concentrating on the behaviour of electrons in materials. Fundamental principles are covered to...

CRC Press, Boca Raton, FL, USA, 2010. 674 pp. The objective of this book is to give a state-of-the-art overview of our current knowledge of the process of grain boundary migration and how it affects microstructure evolution. The distinguishing feature of this book is that it focuses exclusively on the properties and behavior of grain boundaries with well-defined geometry and crystallography. Moreover, these parameters can be chosen deliberately d...

Springer, Berlin, 2009, 536 pages Uncorrected Proof Intended for a two semester advanced undergraduate or graduate course in Solid State Physics, this treatment offers modern coverage of the theory and related experiments, including the group theoretical approach to band structures, Moessbauer recoil free fraction, semi-classical electron theory, magnetoconductivity, electron self-energy and Landau theory of Fermi liquid, and both quantum and fra...

2nd., rev. and ext. ed. - Springer, Berlin, 2009, 398 pages "Solid-State Theory - An Introduction" is a textbook for graduate students of physics and material sciences. Whilst covering the traditional topics of established older textbooks, it also takes up new developments in theoretical concepts and materials that are connected with such breakthroughs as the quantum-Hall effects, the high-Tc superconductors, and the low-dimensional systems reali...

2nd Ed. Elsevier, 2004. - 711 p. (Studies in Inorganic Chemistry 21) This book was written to introduce the reader to the science and art of preparing inorganic luminescent materials, namely "phosphors". In order to understand how and why luminescent materials exhibit such specific intrinsic properties, one needs to be thoroughly versed in the science of the solid state. Contents: Introduction to the Solid State 1 The Point Defect Mechanisms of...
