Synopsis

At the time of its publication this classic text, co-written by the Nobel Laureate Max Born, represented the definitive account of the subject and in many ways it still does. The book begins with a general discussion of the statistical mechanics of ideal lattices, leading to the electric polarizability and to the scattering of light. It then provides detailed discussions of long lattice waves, thermal properties, and optical properties.

Product Description

Dynamical Theory of Crystal Lattices Co-written by one of the founders of quantum mechanics, this book presents an exposition on the dynamics of crystal lattices. Divided into four sections, it deals with the general statistical mechanics of ideal lattices, and moves on to long lattice waves, thermal, and optical properties of crystals. Full description

Review

'extraordinarily general and sound introduction ... a standard work that is indispensable to all working in this field' (Die Naturwissenschaften)

'... important mathematical methods which should be of use in other subjects as well' (British Journal of Applied Physics)
