Tensor Properties of Crystals
As the use of single crystals in scientific and technological applications has become increasingly important, so has an understanding of the variation of physical properties with crystalline direction. Such knowledge is needed to maximize the performance of solid state devices and many useful effects can be produced only in materials of the correct orientation. Tensor Properties of Crystals demonstrates how the application of tensors to a study of...

Pedagogical introduction to the physical prop. of crystals
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
"Tensor Properties of Crystals" introduces gradually the reader to the physical properties of anisotropic crystals. It is a remarkable book from the pedagogical point of view. In contrast with other books in the field it doesn't require a deep previous knowledge of mathematics and crystallography. Crystal symmetry and tensors are introduced in a very comprehensive way in the first two chapters. The remaining chapters are devoted to the areas of elasticity and electric and optical properties of anisotropic crystals. Some worked examples are very useful, specially to those who are begining with tensor manipulation. (These comments refer to the 1st edition of the book (1989)).
