OTHER BOOKS OF INTEREST FROM McGRAW-HILL
WAVE INTERACTIONS IN SOLID STATE PLASMAS Martin C. Steele and Bayram Vural. 288 pages. A book designed to present the properties of solid state plasmas and their wave interactions from a unified point of view. The first part of the text discusses wave interactions in terms of quasiparticles and the development of a macroscopic hydrodynamic model from the more fundamental microscopic models. In the remaining part of the text, the macroscopic model is used to study the interaction of electrokinetic waves (or carrier waves) with one another and with other collective excitations of the solids such as electromagnetic waves, sound waves, and spin waves.
PHYSICS OF ELECTRONIC CONDUCTION IN SOLIDS Frank J. Blatt. McGraw-Hill Series in Materials Science and Engineering. 464 pages. Provides a self-contained treatment of the physical process of conduction and related electronic phenomena in metals and semiconductors. The book is divided into three principle sections: the first establishes the necessary background material in Solid State Physics; the second contains a general discussion of Electronic Transport Theory; and the third is devoted specifically to transport properties of metals and semiconductors.
ELECTRONIC CONDUCTION IN SOLIDS
Arthur C. Smith, James F. Janak, and Richard B. Adier. McGraw-Hill Physical and Quantum Electronics Series. 335 pages. A graduate-level text which deals with the several aspects of electronic conduction in solids. It covers the flow of electric charge and heat in the presence of a magnetic field and is thus concerned with electrical conductivity, and thermoelectric, galvanomagnetic, and thermomagnetic effects in metals and semiconductors, considered from both macroscopic and microscopic viewpoints. Especially full treatments are presented of irreversible thermodynamics, crystal symmetry, energy bands, and Boltzmann transport theory.
QUANTUM THEORY OF MOLECULES AND SOLIDS (A projected four-volume series) INSULATORS, SEMICONDUCTORS, AND METALS, Volume III. John C. Slater. International Series In Pure and Applied Physics. 542 pages. Takes up the experimental aspects of energy-band theory as a companion to Volume II. It covers the lattice, vibrations of crystals, the interaction of lattice vibrations with electrons, the resulting theory of conductivity, including conductivity in a magnetic field, and the many experimental methods of investigating crystals based on these methods.

Appearing for the first time in the United States, this outstanding advanced text and reference book covers broad expanses of modern solid state physics in a unique style and is based on a translation of the second edition of SOLID STATE PHYSICS (Kotai Butsurigaku) published in Japan in 1966. The authors, all eminent solid state physicists, have combined their efforts and wide experience in writing a five-part, up-to-date text whose major objective is to deepen the reader's understanding of the physics of solids —their structure, properties, and behavior under various conditions. Emphasis is specifically placed on basic concepts, therefore, rather than on applications. However, many examples and applications are discussed throughout the book and a number of references are given. All important examples are discussed in detail.
The five parts of the book represent loosely coupled but thoroughly complementary monographs written by Professors Kubo and Nagamiya and four other contributing authors. The topics discussed are: 1) The Structure and Electron Theory of Solids; 2) Electronic Phenomena in Nearly Perfect Crystals; 3) Magnetism; 4) Dielectrics; and 5) Crystal Lattice Defects.
The book is in every way the epitome of exacting scholarship, careful planning, design, and editing. Professor Kubo and colleagues have revised the text twice since the first Japanese edition: once for the second Japanese edition and again in collaboration with Professor R. 8. Knox, the Editor of this English edition.

This book is a welcome work in the vigorous, fast-developing, fast-changing discipline of solid state physics in which six specialists in the field have directed their efforts toward a clear presentation of those theories which they believe will be the basis of future progress in this branch of science.
