| Description: |
Intends to derive Newtonian equations of motion with a symmetric mass tensor. This book diagonalizes this tensor by introducing the principal masses and the principal axes of the inverse-mass tensor associated with the Fermi surface. It demonstrates that the 'electrons' ('holes') are generated near the Fermi surface. |
| Synopsis: |
In a complex field, this work is a first. The authors make an important connection between the conduction electrons and the Fermi surface in an elementary manner in the text. No currently available text explains this connection. They do this by deriving Newtonian equations of motion for the Bloch electron and diagonalizing the inverse mass (symmetric) tensor. The authors plan to follow up this book with a second, more advanced book on superconductivity and the Quantum Hall Effect. |
