Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'The Physics of Crystals' is a foundational scientific treatise that explores the fundamental properties and behaviors of crystalline solids. Written by the renowned physicist A. F. Ioffe, this work delves into the intricate relationship between the atomic structure of crystals and their macroscopic physical characteristics. The text provides an in-depth analysis of mechanical properties, such as strength and plasticity, alongside electrical phenomena, including conductivity and dielectric behavior.At the heart of this study is the investigation of why the actual strength of crystals often falls far short of their theoretical limits-a discovery that led to the identification of surface defects and the development of modern materials science. Ioffe's rigorous approach combines experimental observation with theoretical insights, offering a comprehensive overview of the field during a transformative era of physical discovery. This volume remains a significant historical resource for students and researchers interested in the evolution of solid-state physics and crystallography. 'The Physics of Crystals' captures the intellectual rigor of early 20th-century science and continues to be valued for its clarity and pioneering contributions to the understanding of matter.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it. This work was reproduced from the original artifact, and remains as true to the original work as possible. Therefore, you may see the original copyright references, library stamps (as most of these works have been housed in our most important libraries around the world), and other notations in the work.This work is in the public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.
