Description
Summary:"Harrison has provided a new text on the electronic structure and properties of solids. It is similar in spirit to his well-known 1980 text (Electronic Structure and the Properties of Solids) on the same subject but is otherwise entirely new. It covers covalent semiconductors, ionic insulators, simple metals, and transition-metal and f-shell-metal systems. It focuses on the most important aspects of each system, making what approximations are necessary in order to proceed analytically and obtain formulae for the properties."--BOOK JACKET.
"The book is written as a text, with problems at the end of each chapter. Other problems can readily be generated by asking for estimates of different properties, or different materials, from those treated in the text. In fact, the ease of generating interesting problems reflects on the extraordinary utility and simplicity of the methods introduced. Developments since the 1980 publication have made the theory simpler than before, much more accurate, and allowed much wider application."--BOOK JACKET.
