Electronic Structure and the Properties of Solids - (Dover Books on Physics) by Walter A Harrison (Paperback)

This comprehensive and innovative textbook by Professor Harrison (Stanford University) offers a detailed understanding of the electronic structure of various solids, including covalent and ionic solids, simple metals, transition metals, and their compounds.

With a focus on providing insightful and quantitative results, the book covers the relationships between electronic structures and properties, as well as methods for approximating electronic structure.

The Solid State Table of the Elements is an especially helpful resource that allows readers to estimate almost any property of any solid using hand-held calculators.

This text is an indispensable reference for graduate or advanced undergraduate students in quantum mechanics or atomic and modern physics, as well as professionals in the field of materials science.

The book's problems at the end of each chapter provide a valuable opportunity to apply concepts learned throughout the text.
