Solid State: From SuperConductors to Superalloys - Andre Guinier - Paperback

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 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.Guinier, Andre is the author of 'Solid State: From SuperConductors to Superalloys - Andre Guinier - Paperback' with ISBN 9780198555544 and ISBN 0198555547.
