The Electronic Structure and Chemistry of Solids

[email protected] A great work in explaining the electronic structure of mainly, oxides. Reading the book as an materials researcher, it contains most of basics to understand the physical properties of functional materials related to their electronic structures.The author used simple and clear words in the text, Esp, the ch. 4 is very well written to be a good introduction to the band theory for who are based on chemistry.Only the bad is that data and refs in this book are somewhat old and necessary to be updated. So I rate this as four stars. I already read a book translated in japanese,and I recommend this also, very well done with great care.
