Here is a clear, non-mathematical introduction to a rapidly developing area of physics. The volume provides scientists, students, teachers, and research workers with wide-ranging information on how models can be used to explain the macroscopic properties of solids. It includes full-chapter guidance on thermal properties, electrical properties, and the behavior of electrons in metals, semiconductors, and superconductors. Magnetic properties are given proper consideration, and mechanical...
More DescriptionHere is a clear, non-mathematical introduction to a rapidly developing area of physics. The volume provides scientists, students, teachers, and research workers with wide-ranging information on how models can be used to explain the macroscopic properties of solids. It includes full-chapter guidance on thermal properties, electrical properties, and the behavior of electrons in metals, semiconductors, and superconductors. Magnetic properties are given proper consideration, and mechanical properties such as plasticity, dislocation, and diffusion are covered. In addition, detailed mathematical treatments are presented in easy-to-use boxed sections for those who wish to study the subject in greater depth.
