Synopsis

This study provides an elementary introduction to the band theory of solids, employing only the simplest and most basic of group theoretical ideas, and emphasizing the significance of symmetry in determining many of the essential concepts used in the subject. Topics were chosen with the needs of chemists in mind, and many of the examples have chemical applications. Numerous problems are included which enable the reader to apply the major ideas and to complete some parts of the treatment.

About this title

Review

I recommend the book to all those who wish to taste the flavour of the group-theory applications in physics and chemistry. (Contemporary Physics)

A very good book on symmetry in solids (Angewandte Chemie)
