Electronic Structure and the Properties of Solids
This text offers basic understanding of the electronic structure of covalent and ionic solids, simple metals, transition metals and their compounds; also explains how to calculate dielectric, conducting, bonding properties.
Applied Quantum Mechanics
Quantum mechanics is widely recognized as the basic law which governs all of nature, including all materials and devices. It has always been essential to the understanding of material properties, and as devices become smaller it is also essential for studying their behavior. Nevertheless, only a small fraction of graduate engineers and materials scientists take a course giving a systematic presentation of the subject. The courses for physics students tend to focus on the fundamentals and formal background, rather than on application, and do not fill the need. This invaluable text has been designed to fill the very apparent gap.The book covers those parts of quantum theory which may be necess...
Theoretical Alchemy
The best way to understand chemical bonding may be to take a view appropriate to each individual system, a view which may be quite different for various systems. Sometimes two very different views are appropriate for the same system, and then the combination may even give the parameters needed to estimate the bonding energy by hand. Density Functional Theory, on the other hand, generally tries to take one view as applicable to all systems, and proceeds computationally.In contrast to the author's two previous well-known textbooks, Electronic Structure and the Properties of Solids (1989) and Elementary Electronic Structure (1999), in this book he tries to distill the essence of the representat...
Elementary Electronic Structure
This is a revised edition of the 1999 text on the electronic structure and properties of solids, similar in spirit to the well-known 1980 text Electronic Structure and the Properties of Solids. The revisions include an added chapter on glasses, and rewritten sections on spin-orbit coupling, magnetic alloys, and actinides. The text covers covalent semiconductors, ionic insulators, simple metals, and transition-metal and f-shell-metal systems. It focuses on the most important aspects of each system, making what approximations are necessary in order to proceed analytically and obtain formulae for the properties. Such back-of-the-envelope formulae, which display the dependence of any property on...
Elementary Electronic Structure
Harrison has provided a new text on the electronic structure and properties of solids. It is similar in spirit to his well-known 1980 text (Electronic Structure and the Properties of Solids) on the same subject but is otherwise entirely new. It covers covalent semiconductors, ionic insulators, simple metals, and transition-metal and f-shell-metal systems. It focuses on the most important aspects of each system, making what approximations are necessary in order to proceed analytically and obtain formulae for the properties. The book is written as a text, with problems at the end of each chapter. Other problems can readily be generated by asking for estimates of different properties, or different materials, from those treated in the text. In fact, the ease of generating interesting problems reflects on the extraordinary utility and simplicity of the methods introduced. Developments since the 1980 publication have made the theory simpler than before, much more accurate, and allowed much wider application.
The Invention of Jane Harrison
Jane Ellen Harrison (1850-1928) is the most famous female Classicist in history, the author of books that revolutionized our understanding of Greek culture and religion. This lively and innovative portrayal of a fascinating woman raises the question of who wins (and how) in the competition for academic fame.
One Hundred Years of Poetry for Children
Presents a collection of poetry covering a wide range of subjects, themes, and emotions.
MaleWife
From the novel: "Women are inherently superior to men and they, not men, have the sensitivity, humanity, and intelligence to rule the home, the country, and the world. But they must first take charge of the men. It is time for the women to have their harems, their maids, their house-husbands, their slaves; it is absurd that women, who are sexually as well as psychologically superior to men, should be expected to be content with only one man, or with the same one permanently. Women have always recognized the fundamental weaknesses in men, and they have always, through subtle means, tended to dominate men. But this relationship needs to 'come out of the closet' and to be recognized as the natural order of things, an order which has been corrupted, an order which needs to be reaffirmed and reinstated if we are ever to be rid of violence and brutality in society."The characters and events in this highly explicit novel explore the idea of female supremacy and male servitude in both a domestic environment and in a training camp.51,500 words
The Great Leader
“A wild ride . . . [and] a thoroughly enjoyable tale of religion, sex and money . . . this is not your grandfather’s detective novel.” —Tim McNulty, The Seattle Times New York Times–bestselling author Jim Harrison has won international acclaim for his masterful body of work, including Returning to Earth, Legends of the Fall, and over thirty books of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. In this enthralling, witty, and expertly crafted novel, he follows one man on a hunt for an elusive cult founder, dubbed “The Great Leader.” On the verge of retirement, Detective Sunderson begins to investigate a hedonistic cult, which has set up camp near his home in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. At...
