The majority of the chapters in this volume represent a series of lectures. that were given at a workshop on quantum transport in ultrasmall electron devices, held at San Miniato, Italy, in March 1987.

The author formulates the physical properties of crystals systematically in tensor notation, presenting tensor properties in terms of their common mathematical basis and the thermodynamic relations between them.

A Place in History: The Biography of John C. Kendrew is the story of the influential 20th century scientific pioneer and winner of the 1962 Nobel Prize in chemistry.

This book may also serve as a general reference for device engineers in the semiconductor industry. The present volume covers a wide variety of topics on basic solid state physics and physical principles of various semiconductor devices.

An eminently readable book on the symmetry of crystals and molecules, starting from first principles.

The fourth edition of the original German text has been translated into English for an international readership.

The book includes a clear exposition of general topics concerning the structures of solids, and a systematic description of the structural chemistry of elements and their compounds. The book is divided into two parts.
