Electronic Processes in Non-crystalline Materials

Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1979. First Edition. Cloth. Near Fine/Good. First Edition. xiv, 590 pages. 8vo. Blue-grey cloth. Yellow printed dust jacket. Dj is sunned to white on spine panel (titles, etc still bright), and there is sunning to some segments of the rest of the dj. Bright and clean internally, noting a partial erasure of previous owner's name. Cloth. First printing of the Second edition. Essentially a standalone work, the second edition was completely re-written given the large number of changes in the field since 1971 when the first edition was published. "Since the first edition of this highly successful book there has been great development (truncated) both in the experimental and theoretical studies of the electrical properties of non-crystalline solids, so that it has been necessary to rewrite nearly the whole book. The aims...remain the same - to set out the theoretical concepts, to test them by comparison with experiment for a wide variety of phenomena, and to apply them to non-crystalline materials. Sir Nevill Mott shared the 1977 Nobel Prize for Physics, awarded for his research work in this field." (front dust jacket flap). (Inventory #: 24015)
