description: Self-contained treatment focuses on the solution of lattice-dynamics problems, calculations of total crystal potential, and evaluation of thermodynamic functions. Additional topics include phonon thermodynamics, bend-structure theory, and pseudopotential perturbation theory. Basic-level derivations; only a modest background in quantum mechanics and solid state physics required.
