Product Details
From the back cover: “At the time of the original publication of Dynamical theory of crystal lattices it represented the final account of the subject; in many ways it still does. The book is divided into four sections. The first of these is very general in nature and deals with the general statistical mechanics of ideal lattices, leading to the electric polarizability and to the scattering of light. The second part deals with the properties of long lattice waves; the third with thermal properties and the fourth with optical properties.”
