Applying to crystals, however, the laws encounter undefined properties of crystal lattice, which therefore need to be determined for a clear and well-defined description of crystalline states. \u003ci\u003eThermodynamics of Crystalline States\u003c\/i\u003e explores the roles played by order variables and dynamic lattices in crystals in a wholly new way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book begins by clarifying basic concepts for stable crystals. Next, binary phase transitions are discussed to study collective motion of order variables, as described mostly as classical phenomena. New to this edition is the examination of magnetic crystals, where magnetic symmetry is essential for magnetic phase transitions. The multi-electron system is also discussed  theoretically, as a quantum-mechanical example, for superconductivity in metallic crystals. Throughout the book, the role played by the lattice is emphasized and studied in-depth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThermodynamics of Crystalline States\u003c\/i\u003e is an introductory treatise and textbook on mesoscopic phenomena in solid states, constituting a basic subject in condensed matter physics. While this book serves as a guide for advanced students in physics and material science, it can also be useful as a reference for all professionals in related fields. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMinoru Fujimoto \u003c\/b\u003eis author of \u003ci\u003ePhysics of Classical Electromagnetism \u003c\/i\u003e(Springer, 2007) and \u003ci\u003eThe Physics of Structural Phase Transitions \u003c\/i\u003e(Springer, 2005).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2015-06-25\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781493902385\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4614-5085-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 275\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47675007893644,"sku":"9781493902385","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781493902385.jpg?v=1776539559","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781493902385","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
