Part I begins with an introduction to tensor notation, transformations, algebra, and calcu- lus together with the matrix representations. Crystallography, as it relates to tensor properties of crystals, completes the background treatment. A generalized treatment of solid-state equilibrium thermodynamics leads to the systematic correlation of equilibrium tensor properties. This is fol- lowed by developments covering first-, second-, third-, and higher-order tensor effects. Included are the generalized compliance and rigidity matrices for first-order tensor properties, Maxwell rela- tions, effect of measurement conditions, and the dependent coupled effects and use of interaction diagrams. Part I concludes with the second- and higher-order effects, including numerous optical tensor properties. Part II presents the driving forces and fluxes for the well-known proper conductivities. An introduction to irreversible thermodynamics includes the concepts of microscopic reversibility, Onsager’s reciprocity principle, entropy density production, and the proper choice of the transport parameters. This is followed by the force–flux equations for electronic charge and heat flow and the relationships between the proper conductivities and phenomenological coefficients. The thermo- electric effects in solids are discussed and extended to the piezothermoelectric and piezoresistance tensor effects. The subjects of thermomagnetic, galvanomagnetic, and thermogalvanomagnetic ef- fects are developed together with other higher-order magnetotransport property tensors. A glossary of terms, expressions and symbols are provided at the end of the text, and end- of-chapter problems are provided on request. Endnotes provide the necessary references for further reading. KeywoRdS tensor properties, crystals, thermodynamics, equilibrium, transport MC:Tinder FM_Page iv - 12/28/2007, 10:39AM Achorn International v Preface An exhaustive in-depth treatment of the tensor properties of crystals would be a daunting task and would require several books on the subject, each of which would be of considerable length. This would require each property, experimentally known to exist or predicted by theory, to be developed from first principles at the atomic or quantum mechanical level. This is not what this text is about. We purport to develop the physical properties of solids (actually crystals) from the thermodynamic and tensorial points of view, which, if done correctly, provide a valuable introduction to a multitude of physical properties. The phenomenological development used in this text permits a thermody- namic basis for property definitions that is inviolate or nearly so. However, it is correct to say that many of the matter tensor properties defined in this way may not have been studied previously to establish their relative importance. This text is designed to be used as a one-semester or two-quarter course in the subject matter. It also serves as a valuable source of information for practicing engineers and scientists in related fields. Although the text provides the necessary background in tensor analysis, the readership is expected to have some knowledge of calculus and matrix algebra. An understanding of basic vec- tor analysis is also deemed helpful. The necessary information regarding crystallography and point groups as they relate to this text is provided as background material in the text. The contents of this text are based on the author’s notes used for a graduate course taught over several years at Washington State University to graduate students and second-semester seniors in the areas of material science, electrical and mechanical engineering, physics, and chemical phys- ics. An instructor of a course in this subject matter is provided ample opportunity to limit, alter, or expound on any part of the text material as needed to satisfy the course description and needs of the students. Extensive glossaries of terms, expressions, and symbols at the end of the text aid in the learning process. As with any text dealing with complex subject matter, there will undoubtedly be found typos and errors that were overlooked by the author. Hopefully, these have been kept to a minimum. However, should any be found by the instructor or readers, the author would appreciate knowing of them so that corrections can be made.
