By J. M. Ziman

Professor Ziman's vintage textbook at the conception of solids was once first pulished in 1964. This paperback variation is a reprint of the second one variation, which was once considerably revised and enlarged in 1972. the price and recognition of this textbook is definitely attested through reviewers' evaluations and by means of the lifestyles of a number of international language variations, together with German, Italian, Spanish, jap, Polish and Russian. The booklet offers a transparent exposition of the weather of the physics of excellent crystalline solids. In discussing the rules, the writer goals to provide scholars an appreciation of the stipulations that are useful for the looks of some of the phenomena. A self-contained mathematical account is given of the easiest version that might exhibit each one precept. A grounding in quantum mechanics and data of easy evidence approximately solids is thought. this can be as a result a textbook for complex undergraduates and can also be applicable for graduate courses.

Oscillations and Waves: An Introduction

Bridging lower-division physics survey classes with upper-division physics classes, Oscillations and Waves: An advent develops a unified mathematical conception of oscillations and waves in actual structures. Emphasizing physics over arithmetic, the writer contains many examples from discrete mechanical, optical, and quantum mechanical structures; non-stop gases, fluids, and elastic solids; digital circuits; and electromagnetic waves.

100 Years of Superconductivity

Even 100 years after its discovery, superconductivity maintains to deliver us new surprises, from superconducting magnets utilized in MRI to quantum detectors in electronics. a hundred Years of Superconductivity provides a accomplished selection of issues on approximately all of the subdisciplines of superconductivity.

Research, Fabrication and Applications of Bi-2223 HTS Wires: 1 (World Scientific Series in Applications of Superconductivity and Related Phenomena)

The aim of this booklet is to hide all points of Bi-2223 superconducting wires from primary learn, fabrication procedure to purposes. This ebook includes many chapters written by means of exclusive specialists within the world.

The Mathematical Theory of Symmetry in Solids: Representation Theory for Point Groups and Space Groups (Oxford Classic Texts in the Physical Sciences)

This publication supplies the total concept of the irreducible representations of the crystallographic element teams and house teams. this is often very important within the quantum-mechanical learn of a particle or quasi-particle in a molecule or crystalline sturdy as the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a procedure belong to the irreducible representations of the gang of symmetry operations of that procedure.
