Burns G. Solid State Physics

Academic Press, Inc., 1985. — 827 p. — ISBN: 0-12-146070-3.The objective of Solid State Physics is to introduce college seniors and first-year graduate students in physics, electrical engineering, materials science, chemistry, and related areas to this diverse and fascinating field. I have attempted to present this complex subject matter in a coherent, integrated manner, emphasizing fundamental scientific ideas to give the student a strong understanding and ""feel"" for the physics and the orders of magnitude involved.Symmetry Operations
