This book is a valuable resource for solid-state physicists and material scientists.
, some of which are quite different from what is traditionally believed in the solid state physics community. Electronic States in Crystals of Finite Size In addition, there are various revisions and improvements, including using the Kronig-Penney model to illustrate the analytical theory and make it easier to understand. In this new edition, the theory is further extended to one-dimensional photonic crystals and phononic crystals, and a general theoretical formalism for investigating the existence and properties of surface states/modes in semi-infinite one-dimensional crystals is developed.
