Riguardo questo articolo

Paperback. This new and exciting interactive resource package centers around fourteen high quality computer simulations covering essential topics in solid state physics. The computer simulations provided on CDSHROM cover x-ray diffraction, phonons, electron states and dynamics, semiconductors, magnetism, and dislocations. Users can vary different characteristics and immediately see the results in animations and graphical displays. The companion book is essential for effective use of the simulations. It guides the user through hundreds of exercises and examples, illustrates fundamental physical principles, and contains notes on the relevant physics. The hardcover edition includes the simulations on CDSHROM (Unix, Windows, Powermac formats) and a license for use on a local area network on a single geographical site. The low priced paperback (without CDSHROM) is intended for students who have access to the simulations on a local area network. These simulations provide an interactive resource for those studying solid state physics at advanced undergraduate or graduate level.They will also be of interest to researchers in physics, materials science, electrical engineering, chemistry and chemical engineering. Selected material from the simulations may be explored at the Web site http://www ruph.cornell.edu/sss/sss.html after February 1, 1997. Interactive resource centering around fourteen high quality computer simulations covering essential topics in solid state physics. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

This new and exciting interactive resource centers around fourteen high quality computer simulations covering essential topics in solid state physics. The simulations cover x-ray diffraction, phonons, electron states and dynamics, semiconductors, magnetism, and dislocations. Users can vary different characteristics and immediately see the results in animations and graphical displays. The companion book is essential for effective use of the simulations. It guides the user through hundreds of exercises and examples, illustrates fundamental physical principles, and contains notes on the relevant physics. This paperback (without CD-ROM) is intended for students who have access to the simulations on a local area network. This package provides an interactive resource for those studying solid state physics at advanced undergraduate or graduate level. It will also be of interest and value to researchers in physics, materials science, electrical engineering, chemistry and chemical engineering.

Recensione

"...an excellent companion for anyone seriously interested in learning condensed-matter physics, whether at the junior undergraduate or advanced graduate level...I found the qualtiy of the simulations to be exceptionally high... All those who are teaching or learning solid-state physics will be missing a greate opportunity if they do not give the SSS package a try." Roger W. Rollins, Computers in Physics

"...this interactive package represents an extremely valuable addition to a solid-state physics course at the advanced undergraduate and graduate level, one of the best of this kind published up to now. Undoubtedly, it will soon be considered an essential part in the library of students and even of researchers in condensed matter physics." Materials Research Bulletin

"...the book should be a good addition to a solid state course..." Ivan K. Schuller & David A. Rabson, Physics Today
