Download or read book Symmetry Principles and Magnetic Symmetry in Solid State Physics written by S. J. Joshua and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1991 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Divided into two parts, the first half of this text covers all of the topics required for a complete understanding of the applications of group theory to solid state physics. It shows how symmetry arguments can be used to give detailed insight into the physical properties of crystals closely linked with structure.The second half of the book distinguishes it from other books on this subject by its treatment of symmetry properties of magnetic crystals at a level suitable for graduate students new to the field.
