Symmetry Principles and Magnetic Symmetry in Solid Stte Physics

-- Graduate Student Series in Physics Divided into two parts, the first half of this text covers all of the topics required for a complete understanding of the applications of group theory to solid state physics. It shows how symmetry arguments can be used to give detailed insight into the physical properties of crystals closely linked with structure.The second half of the book distinguishes it from other books on this subject by its treatment of symmetry properties of magnetic crystals at a level suitable for graduate students new to the field. Plenty of exercises with solutions are included to help the student.Joshua, S. J. is the author of 'Symmetry Principles and Magnetic Symmetry in Solid Stte Physics', published 1991 under ISBN 9780750300711 and ISBN 075030071X.
