Conduction in Non-Crystalline Materials

This second edition deals in an elementary way with electrons in non-crystalline systems. It reflects advances in the theory of interactions in non-crystalline systems, provides a more detailed discussion of the "minimum metallic conductivity", and addresses the relevance of disorder in the new high-temperature semiconductors.

Since the first edition of this book, the field has developed rapidly, causing Nobel prizewinning author Sir Nevill Mott to rewrite this second edition extensively. It deals in an elementary way (as far as possible) with electrons in non-crystalline systems. It builds on the successful first edition by bringing up to date the theory of interactions in non-crystalline systems, introducing a revised discussion on the `minimum metallic conductivity', and addressing the relevance of disorder in the new high-temperature superconductors.
