Solids Quartz (SiO2) crystal Crystalline SiO2 Click for details about quartz Oxygen atom amorph Silicon atom glass Looks like “supercooled Liquid”
Crystalline solid approximate Solution The problem: > 1023 electrons experience Coulomb interaction regularly repeated arrangement of atoms Help:symmetry Quantum Mechanics Statistical Physics
Special relativity - lattice dynamics, thermal properties - metals, semiconductors, insulators - optical and dielectric properties, magnetic properties - superconductivity
