Thermophysical Properties of Materials 1st Edition by G. Grimvall (PDF)

Description

This is a thoroughly revised version of the original book published in 1986. About half of the contents of the previous version remain essentially unchanged, and one quarter has been rewritten and updated. The rest consists of completely new and extended material. Recent research has focussed on new materials made through “molecular engineering”, and computational materials science through ab initio electron structure calculations. Another trend is the ever growing interdisciplinary aspect of both basic and applied materials science. There is an obvious need for reviews that link well established results to the modern approaches. One purpose of this book is to provide such an overview in a specific field of materials science, namely thermophysical phenomena that are intimately connected with the lattice vibrations of solids. This includes, e.g., elastic properties and electrical and thermal transport. Furthermore, this book attempts to present the results in such a form that the reader can clearly see their domain of applicability, for instance if and how they depend on crystal structure, defects, applied pressure, crystal anisotropy etc. The level and presentation is such that the results can be immediately used in research. Graduate students in condensed matter physics, metallurgy, inorganic chemistry or geophysical materials will benefit from this book as will theoretical physicists and scientists in industrial research laboratories.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Thermophysical properties of materials, compared to electronic, magnetic and optical properties, may be a minority in solid state physics and it’s difficult to find proper and thorough monographs on this subject. For research, textbooks are too broad, and papers usually lack comprehensiveness and thoroughness. However, after getting this book from library I instantaneously feel this is the right book for me. It assumes the reader understands basic solid state physics, and directly leads the reader to the research-level analysis of various thermophysical properties.The author is able to see the fundamental correlations between various properties, since they can usually explained using theories of atomic motions and electronic structures. The final chapter deals with “Estimations and correlations”, which shows the author’s great mastery of the subject. Many contents are insightful. Also, this book contains some analysis that is rarely included in other books. For example, it’s generally known that elastic moduli don’t change with defect structure as much as mechanical strengths do. But this book shows that within elastic moduli, Young’s modulus changes larger than bulk modulus, which was not known to me before. The book also clarifies some concepts with emphasis, including Debye temperature. The reader will it very illuminating.
