A comprehensive textbook covering not only the ordinary theory of the deformation of solids, but also some topics not usually found in textbooks on the subject, such as thermal conduction and viscosity in solids.[...]
Covering the theory of electromagnetic fields in matter, and the theory of macroscopic electric and magnetic properties of matter, this revised edition contains new material, particularly on the theory of the magnetic properties of matter and the theory of optical phenomena.[...]
This second part of "Statistical Physics" deals with the quantum theory of the condensed state of matter. The book is based on the large amount of new material that has become available in statistical physics since the first part was published.[...]
The book is an introductory text to the physics of Bose-Einstein condensation. This phenomenon, first predicted by Einstein in 1925, has been realized experimentally in 1995 in a remarkable series of experiments whose importance has been recognized by the award of the 2001 Nobel Prize in Physics. Th[...]
This volume is mainly concerned with a systematic development of the theory of plasmas, the authority being firmly rooted in the pioneering work of Landau. Corresponding rewsults are also given for partially ionized plasmas, relativistic, degenerate or non-ideal plasmas, and solid state plasmas.[...]
Several significant additions have been made to the second edition, including the operator method of calculating the bremsstrahlung cross-section, the calcualtion of the probabilities of photon-induced pair production and photon decay in a magnetic field, the asymptotic form of the scattering amplit[...]
