Electronic Structure and Chemistry of Solids

Zusatztext `P. A. Cox has brought considerable skill to the taks of familiarizing chemists with the electronic structure of solids.' Angewandte Chemie Klappentext This book is the first to describe the chemical aspects of the electronic structures of solids in terms familiar to chemists and materials scientists. The first three chapters give an elementary account suitable for undergraduate students with a grounding in inorganic and physical chemistry; later chapters discuss more advanced aspects, including topics of current research interest such as metal-insulator transitions, low-dimensional solids and 'molecular metals,' and the properties of surfaces. A wide variety of examples are cited throughout the text to further clarify the discussion for students and for researchers in chemistry, materials science, and solid state electronics. Zusammenfassung Shows how the electronic structures and properties of solids can be described in terms familiar to chemists. This book contains topics such as metal-insulator transitions, low-dimensional solids and 'molecular metals', and the properties of surfaces. It is for undergraduate students with a reasonable grounding in inorganic and physical chemistry. Inhaltsverzeichnis Introduction; spectroscopic methods; electronic energy; levels and chemical bonding; elementary band theory; the effects of electron repulsion; lattice distortions; defects, impurities, and surfaces; Appendix A: The Fermi-Dirac distribution function; Appendix B: Brillouin zones and the reciprocal lattice
