books about: condensed-matter     books:     Condensed-matter      Renormalization Methods: A Guide For Beginners William David McComb Oxford University Press, USA, 2008 A Book That Really Motivates Incredibly informative. Provides the reader with the necessary confidence to forge ahead in a difficult field of research.( For example how to calculate a "self-energy" term.) That is the writer talks directly to the reader. By that I mean the writer discusses with ...             Electronic Properties of Materials Rolf E. Hummel Springer, 2004 A great reference text. Well organized and presented. This is an excellent text for every electrical engineering student whether graduate or undergraduate. I found the information to be clear and concise which made the concepts easily manageable. The use of mathematical formulas are placed in such a way as to aid with the ...             Statics and Strength of Materials Fa-Hwa Cheng McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math, 1996 Useful tool This book gets its point across. It is a textbook and that is what it is supposed to do. It gives you everything you need to be successful in the class you are taking, though I only used the second half about the strengths of different materials. The first half, which ...             Solid State Physics Neil W. Ashcroft, N. David Mermin Brooks Cole, 1976 Old book, but the physics is the same The Ashcroft text is superior to other Solid State texts because of its readbility. It is not over-written like some texts, and its presentation of fundamentals is appropriate for a graduate course in solid state physics. It is not fair to under-rate the book simply ...             Intermolecular and Surface Forces, Second Edition: With Applications to Colloidal and Biological Systems ... Jacob N. Israelachvili Academic Press, 1992 Fantastic Book If you want to learn about the title subject, this is a great intro book. And it's probably the most enjoyable theory book you are likely to own, if you purchase it.             The Physics of Solar Cells (Properties of Semiconductor Materials) Jenny Nelson Imperial College Press, 2003 very good book. I feel this is a very good book for advanced undergraduates and graduate students interested in the physics of solar cells. It is not a beginner book, as some background is expected. Solid state physics is difficult and complicated. There are a lot of different ...             Optical Properties of Solids (Oxford Master Series in Physics) Mark Fox Oxford University Press, USA, 2002 Optical properties of solids I have used this book as reference manual while developing multilayer coatings for use as reflective coatings for nuclear radiation scinitilators.Ecellent reference on optical properties which are not readily available to us.             Computer Simulation of Liquids M. P. Allen, D. J. Tildesley Oxford University Press, USA, 1989 I recommend it with no hesitation. It's the book to have if you want to learn computer simulation. It covers both Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics, from the start for the beginner. It also includes more advanced topics, but is definitely focused on studying fluids and not solids. The code is written ...             Electronic Structure: Basic Theory and Practical Methods (Vol 1) Richard M. Martin Cambridge University Press, 2004 Outstanding This book was recommended to me to help me in my research, and has turned out to be one of the best recommendations I have ever received. This is a great book; by far the best I have come across on the topic of computing the properties of condensed phase materials by ...             Concepts in Thermal Physics Stephen Blundell, Katherine Blundell Oxford University Press, USA, 2006 The best textbook I ever had (so far) I love this book. Its funny, clear, exciting, and a good read. The concepts actually make sense. And it is all cut up into sizable little chapters, with important concepts summarized at the end of each chapter. This is the best textbook I've ever had.          products you might be interested in search for books applications, biological, intermolecular, renormalization, semiconductor, simulation      toavi.com    web we recommend Fantastic Book randomly chosen book: Julie's Cooking Studio (American Girls Collection)
