Non-interacting Electrons in the Solid State
In this chapter we consider independent, non-interacting electrons within a periodic potential, i.e. displacements of the ions from their rest...
-
Introduction to Solid-State Optics
Expressions for the dielectric function of optically isotropic solids are derived and discussed. Direct as well as indirect electronic absorption...
