The Electrical Properties of Disordered Metals

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the electrical properties of disordered metals and alloys, this book explores the theory behind conductivity, Hall coefficient, magnetoresistance, and thermopower in amorphous materials. It extends conventional Boltzmann theory to account for scenarios where the mean free path of conduction electrons is similar to their wavelength and interionic separation. The author tests these theories against experimental data from metallic glasses, making the content accessible to non-specialist physicists, metallurgists, and chemists interested in this emerging field.
