Overview
This book describes how the arrangement of atoms in a solid and the way they move are related to the forces between atoms, and how they affect the behavior and properties of materials. The book is intended for final year undergraduate students and graduate students in physics and materials science.
Synopsis
A textbook for a graduate or advanced undergraduate course in condensed matter physics that delves into how the structure of a material and the dynamics of its constituent atoms determine its properties and behavior. Rather than focusing on the subatomic particles, as most such texts do, it deals with real materials in which the interaction between a great many atoms determines characteristics.
