Abstract
In the preceding article we reviewed the classical theories of the solid state, and sketched an outline of the modern wave mechanical theory. We saw that the valence electrons of a solid occupy an energy spectrum composed of zones of energy levels, and that the observed differences among various solids can be correlated largely with differences in the distribution and population of these zones. In this issue we shall first discuss in turn each of the five main types of solids, to see what explanation the zone theory offers for their distinguishing peculiarities. Following this, we shall review very briefly the progress of the theory in interpreting certain structure-insensitive volume properties.This publication has 27 references indexed in Scilit:
