摘要

In the previous chapter, we focused on the thermal properties of matterMatter in the gasGases and liquid phases. In this chapter these discussions will be extended to other types of properties and focusFocus on matterMatter in the solid state. Solid state physics has become so important in practical applications that it is treated as a separate subarea of physics. We will see how the knowledge of the electrical and opticalOptical properties of solids has ledLEDs to some of the greatest developments of the twentieth century, microelectronicsMicroelectronic and lasersLaser. Some of the themes of the chapter are represented in Fig. 14.1. Figure 14.2 shows a typical crystal shape.
