By Eleftherios N. Economou

Solid country Physics emphasizes a number of primary rules and extracts from them a wealth of knowledge. This method additionally unifies a huge and various topic which turns out to include too many disjoint items. The publication starts off with the totally minimal of formal instruments, emphasizes the fundamental ideas, and employs actual reasoning (" a bit pondering and mind's eye" to cite R. Feynman) to acquire effects. non-stop comparability with experimental info leads evidently to a steady refinement of the options and to extra subtle tools. After the preliminary assessment with an emphasis at the actual thoughts and the derivation of effects by means of dimensional research, The Physics of Solids offers with the Jellium version (JM) and the Linear mix of Atomic Orbitals (LCAO) ways to solids and introduces the fundamental options and knowledge concerning metals and semiconductors.

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 platforms; non-stop gases, fluids, and elastic solids; digital circuits; and electromagnetic waves.

100 Years of Superconductivity

Even 100 years after its discovery, superconductivity keeps to convey us new surprises, from superconducting magnets utilized in MRI to quantum detectors in electronics. a hundred Years of Superconductivity provides a complete selection of subject matters on approximately the entire subdisciplines of superconductivity.

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

This ebook supplies the full conception of the irreducible representations of the crystallographic element teams and house teams. this can be very important within the quantum-mechanical research of a particle or quasi-particle in a molecule or crystalline good as the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a procedure belong to the irreducible representations of the gang of symmetry operations of that process.
