Book Synopsis Part I: Physical Chemistry. Part II: Solid State Physics by : Arthur S. Wightman
Download or read book Part I: Physical Chemistry. Part II: Solid State Physics written by Arthur S. Wightman. This book was released on 2013-12-11. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fourth volume of the Collected Works is devoted to Wigners contribution to physical chemistry, statistical mechanics and solid-state physics. One corner stone was his introduction of what is now called the Wigner function, while his paper on adiabatic perturbations foreshadowed later work on Berry phases. Although few in number, Wigners articles on solid-state physics laid the foundations for the modern theory of the electronic structure of metals.
