One-Dimensional Metals: Physics and Materials Science

By David Carroll and Siegmar Roth

Low-dimensional solids are of fundamental interest in materials science. Written not only for the expert, this book explains the most important concepts behind the physics of low-dimensional systems. In addition, it features a survey of the most attractive one-dimensional systems and discusses their present and emerging applications in molecular electronics. Topics include: * Electron transport in organic conductors, semiconductors and superconductors * Bond percolation * Electrons at surfaces and interfaces * Solitons and polarons * The Peierls' transition * Charge-density waves * Quantum wires and quantum dots Chemists, polymer and materials scientists as well as students will find this book a very readable introduction to the solid-state physics of electronic materials.
