Electronic Structure and the Properties of Solids: The Physics of the Chemical Bond

For serious minds decoding how solids behave

If you like physics that connects elegant theory to real materials, this is the kind of book that feels deeply rewarding. Harrison has a gift for making electronic structure feel usable rather than abstract, showing how bonding, conductivity, and material properties all fit together. Readers who enjoy rigorous but illuminating texts often find it the sort of reference they keep returning to long after finishing it.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

An authoritative text on the electronic structure of covalent and ionic solids, simple metals, transition metals, and their compounds. The book explains how electronic structure governs dielectric, conducting, and bonding properties and presents several approaches to approximate electronic structure, with quantitative results. It includes a Solid State Table of the Elements to estimate almost any solid property, with calculator-based methods using the techniques developed in the book. Designed for graduate or advanced undergraduate students who have completed quantum mechanics or atomic and modern physics, the volume treats the relationship between structure and properties across all solids rather than for specific classes. It is a comprehensive reference for those applying approximate methods to electronic-structure engineering, semiconductor development, and materials science. The book also features end-of-chapter problems, tables, appendices, and indexes.
