Note publique d'information : La 4e de couverture indique : "This comprehensive text is devoted to the problem of
understanding the electrical properties of metals and alloys. Dr Rossiter, well-known
for his work on the electrical resistivity of alloys, has written a book which blends
results and theory, but does not rely on a strong grounding in quantum mechanics.
After an introduction to the basic ideas, the concepts of atomic and magnetic correlations
and their microstructural consequences are explained. Later chapters then deal with
the effects of such correlations on electrical resistivity. Examples and applications
of the concepts derived are given in discrete sections, allowing the uninterrupted
development of theory for each specific problem, and enhancing the value of the book
for a wide range of readers from theoretical and experimental solid state physicists
to metallurgists and materials scientists. Anyone with an interest in the electrical
conduction process or in the application of resistivity measurements to the study
of alloy configuration will find this essential reading.
