Kurzbeschreibung
Dieses in sehr gut verständlichem Stil geschriebene Lehrbuch für untere Semester erklärt die physikalischen und chemischen Zusammenhänge, die den elektronischen Eigenschaften von Festkörpern zugrunde liegen. Im ersten Teil wird von einem halbklassischen Ansatz ausgegangen, wogegen der zweite Teil quantenmechanisch angelegt ist und die Merkmale von Metallen, Isolatoren und Halbleitern aus den Formalismen der Quantenchemie und -physik heraus erläutert. (03/99)
It includes both chemical and physical approaches to the properties of solids, and clearly separates those aspects of materials properties that can be tackled with classical physics from those that require quantum mechanics.
* Quantum mechanics are introduced later to allow readers to be familiar with some of the mathematics necessary for quantum mechanics before being exposed to its bewildering fundamental concepts.
* Discusses the electronic properties of solids from the viewpoint of elementary band theory, and end with a brief treatment of semiconductors and some semiconducting devices.
