An Introduction to the Electron Theory of Metals [Institute of Metals Monograph and Report Series No. 4] by G. V. Raynor - 1949

The Institute of Metals, 1949. Hardback. Collectible: Very Good/No. 2nd Printing (Inst. Of Metals, London - 1949) Institute of Metals Monograph and Report Series No. 4. VERY GOOD, no dust jacket. . . . . This book was Specially commissioned by the Institute of Metals, and written for the older metallurgist whose knowledge of pure physics is insufficient to enable him to come readily to terms with the modern theoretical work on the metallic state. It deals with: 1.) The new approach to metallurgy -- 2.) Some basic principles of atomic theory -- 3.) The Bohr theory of the atom -- 4.) The probability conceptions -- 5.) Applications to metals -- 6.) The effect of crystal structure -- 7.) Application to alloy structures -- 8.) Approximations involved in the results of the electron theories -- 9.) Insulators and conductors -- 10.) Magnetic properties of metals and alloys -- 11.) The cohesion of metals -- 12.) Conclusion -- * Bibliography -- * Index. . . . This book should be read by every metallurgist
