"Should be widely read by practicing physicists, chemists and materials scientists." -- Philosophical Magazine
In this comprehensive and innovative text, Professor Harrison (Stanford University) offers a basic understanding of the electronic structure of covalent and ionic solids, simple metals, transition metals, and their compounds. The book illuminates the relationships of the electronic structures of these materials and shows how to calculate dielectric, conducting, and bonding properties for each. Also described are various methods of approximating electronic structure, providing insight and even quantitative results from the comparisons. Dr. Harrison has also included an especially helpful "Solid State Table of the Elements" that provides all the parameters needed to estimate almost any property of any solid, with a hand-held calculator, using the techniques developed in the book.
Designed for graduate or advanced undergraduate students who have completed an undergraduate course in quantum mechanics or atomic and modern physics, the text treats the relation between structure and properties comprehensively for all solids rather than for small classes of solids. This makes it an indispensable reference for all who make use of approximative methods for electronic-structure engineering, semiconductor development and materials science.
The problems at the ends of the chapters are an important aspect of the book. They clearly show that the calculations for systems and properties of genuine and current interest are actually quite elementary. Prefaces. Problems. Tables. Appendixes. Solid State Table of the Elements. Bibliography. Author and Subject Indexes.
"Will doubtless exert a lasting influence on the solid-state physics literature." -- Physics Today

Pillows feel great and keep your head cool plus your hair doesnt get all tangled at night. I have juwt put them out on my bed and havent had a chance to wash them but they seem like theyre made from quality material that should hold up in the wash.

Super Soft
Size: Queen (2 Count), Color: Gray
So I’ve been trying these pillowcases out for a while. Let me tell you if you’re looking for a silky soft comfortable surface to lay your head on look no further. These silky, soft satin pillowcases fill that niche like nobody else. The material is very soft it looks very shiny and feels amazing next to my skin, which is all I look for. The quality is excellent. I’ve really enjoyed these pillowcases and the silver is wearing on me now I need to order some matching silver silky sheets, and I’ll be set. What an amazing value.

4 BUCKS PER PILLOWCASE. DEAL!
Size: Queen (2 Count), Color: Gray
SUPA MODERN Satin Pillowcase, Similar to Silk Pillow Cases Queen Size Set of 2. These silver pillowcases shine like metal, but they are worth 4 bucks a piece. My sister and I each tried one out. She loves how kindly the pillowcase treats her hair and her extensions; no snags, knottting, or rat nests. I love the way the material feels on my face; soothing and smooth. Definitely a good, affordable price for pillowcases, even shiny silver ones.

retty color, but the comfort isn’t there.
Size: Queen (2 Count), Color: Gray
I only received one pillowcase in my package, which was disappointing since it’s sold as a set of two. I’m also not a fan of this satin material — it runs hot and I end up sticking to it. The color is a pretty metallic silver, but the pillowcase itself feels cheap compared to brands like Kitsch. Overall, this one just isn’t for me.
