"Should be widely read by practicing physicists, chemists and materials scientists." -- Philosophical Magazine
In this comprehensive and innovative text, Professor Harrison (Stanford University) offers a basic understanding of the electronic structure of covalent and ionic solids, simple metals, transition metals, and their compounds. The book illuminates the relationships of the electronic structures of these materials and shows how to calculate dielectric, conducting, and bonding properties for each. Also described are various methods of approximating electronic structure, providing insight and even quantitative results from the comparisons. Dr. Harrison has also included an especially helpful "Solid State Table of the Elements" that provides all the parameters needed to estimate almost any property of any solid, with a hand-held calculator, using the techniques developed in the book.
Designed for graduate or advanced undergraduate students who have completed an undergraduate course in quantum mechanics or atomic and modern physics, the text treats the relation between structure and properties comprehensively for all solids rather than for small classes of solids. This makes it an indispensable reference for all who make use of approximative methods for electronic-structure engineering, semiconductor development and materials science.
The problems at the ends of the chapters are an important aspect of the book. They clearly show that the calculations for systems and properties of genuine and current interest are actually quite elementary. Prefaces. Problems. Tables. Appendixes. Solid State Table of the Elements. Bibliography. Author and Subject Indexes.
"Will doubtless exert a lasting influence on the solid-state physics literature." -- Physics Today

Puppy loves it! We have had hours of fun with it.
Size: Billiards
My puppy loves it! It’s soft, squishy and squeaks. I would have given 5 stars but some threads on the 8 started to come out (not completely) after a few days, but it still seems well made and we have had had many hours of fun with it.

Cutest Dog Toys!
Style: 5 Pack Dog Toys, Style: 5 Pack Dog Toys
These tug toys are so cute! My puppies love them! They each have tug ropes and squeakers. They are unique and vivid in color. They are great quality for the price. The stuffed animals themselves aren’t great against aggressive chewers, but the rope holds up well. My two puppies love to play tug with each other and use the ropes to toss the toys around. They provide hours of entertainment.

Okay- not that durable
Style: 5 Pack Dog Toys
Not durable- my dog destroyed the sloth within 1 hour. She wanted to play tug a war and it ripped within 2 pulls. She is 8 month golden retriever- not large about 45 lbs.
