Tilley J.D. Richard. Understanding Solids

2004. – 528 р. The aim of this book is to review of recent achievements in the theoretical investigations of the electronic structure, optical, MO, and XMCD properties of compounds and multilayered structures. Chapter 1 of this book is of an introductory character and presents the theoretical foundations of the band theory of solids such as the density functional theory (DFT) for ground state properties of solids. Chapter 2 describes the MO prope...

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...

2001. - 317 p. This book is about the way light interacts with solids. The beautiful colours of gemstones have been valued in all societies, and metals have been used for making mirrors for thousands of years. However, the scientific explanations for these phenomena have only been given in relatively recent times. Nowadays, we build on this understanding and make use of rubies and sapphires in high power solid state lasers. Meanwhile, the arrival...

William Andrew Publishing, 2005. 532 pp. This book is about the games atoms play in diffusion and various other properties of materials. While diffusion has been studied for more than 100 years in solids, its importance, excitement, and intellectual challenges remain undiminished with time. It is central to understanding the relationship between the structure and properties of naturally occurring and synthetic materials, which is at the root of c...

Wiley-Scrivener Publishing, 2011, 565 pages This book provides a clear and understandable text for users and developers of advanced engineered materials, particularly in the area of thin films, and addresses fundamentals of modifying the optical, electrical, photo-electric, triboligical, and corrosion resistance of solid surfaces and adding functionality to solids by engineering their surface, structure, and electronic, magnetic and optical str...

1989. - 319 p. This book contains the proceedings of the international workshop on Many-Atom Interactions in Solids, which was held June 5-9, 1989, in Pajulahti, Finland. The purpose of the workshop was to bring together physicists, chemists and materials scientists working in the field of interatomic interactions and their applications in computer simulations of condensed matter. The workshop attracted a good fraction of the active groups in the...

Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 2008, 511 pages The book concentrates on powder flow properties, their measurement and applications. These topics are explained starting from the interactions between individual particles up to the design of silos. A wide range of problems are discussed – such as flow obstructions, segregation, and vibrations. The goal is to provide a deeper understanding of the powder flow, and to show practical solutions. This book pro...
