Overview

Self-contained treatment focuses on the solution of lattice-dynamics problems, calculations of total crystal potential, and evaluation of thermodynamic functions. Additional topics include phonon thermodynamics, bend-structure theory, and pseudopotential perturbation theory. Basic-level derivations; only a modest background in quantum mechanics and solid state physics required.

Booknews

Reprint of a 1972 work on the theoretical framework for the equilibrium thermodynamic properties of solid materials in the crystalline state. Eight chapters discuss thermodynamics, the crystal potential, lattice dynamics, phonon thermodynamics, band-structure and pseudopotential perturbation theory, analysis of experimental data, and model calculations.
