Electron theory of metals textbook for advanced undergraduate students of condensed-matter physics and related disciplines.
The successes and difficulties of the Bloch model of a metal are briefly reviewed, and the Landau quasi-particle theory amd the pseudopotential theory are briefly discussed. These two notions are made the basis for a revised version of the Bloch model that avoids the conceptual difficulties of the original model, while retaining and explaining its appealing features. Well known empirical generalizations concerning the relative importance of conduction-electron density, composition, and structure for the electronic properties are presented, and their implications are reexamined. A theory of the form required by the empirical generalizations is developed. Recent approximate calculations are discussed, and a variety of conclusions are drawn from these relating to the possibility of explanation of the empirical generalizations by the theory. 42 references.

An elementary, non-mathematical introduction to electron theory for undergraduates.
This book is a broad review of the electronic structure of metals and alloys. It emphasises the way in which the behavior of electrons in these materials governs the thermodynamic and other properties of these conducting materials. The theoretical treatment proceeds from a wave mechanics approach to more sophisticated techniques for the description of the properties of metals and alloys.
Now in paperback, this comprehensive book is the first text devoted to the problem of understanding the electrical properties of metals and alloys. Dr Rossiter, well-known for his work on the electrical resistivity of alloys, has written a book which blends results and theory, but does not rely on a strong grounding in quantum mechanics. After an introduction to the basic ideas, the concepts of atomic and magnetic correlations and their microstructural consequences are explained. Later chapters then deal with the effects of such correlations on electrical resistivity. Examples and applications of the concepts derived are given in discrete sections, allowing the uninterrupted development of theory for each specific problem, and enhancing the value of the book for a wide range of readers from theoretical and experimental solid state physicists to metallurgists and materials scientists. Anyone with an interest in the electrical conduction process or in the application of resistivity measurements to the study of alloy configuration will find this essential reading.
Quantum methods develop mathematical models: crystal structure, magnetic susceptibility, electrical and optical properties, thermal properties, etc. Unabridged republication of the original (1936) edition.
