Extensive comparison of theory and experiment provides an accurate understanding of the statistical properties of phonons, electrons, and phonon - phonon and electron - phonon interactions in elemental crystals and liquids. Questions are posed along the following lines: What is the "best" theory for a given property? How accurate is a good theory? What information is gained by a comparison of theory and experiment? How accurate is a good experiment?Equations of stateCrystalsStatistical methodsLiquidsStatistical methodsStatistical physicsElectronic books.Equations of state.CrystalsStatistical methods.LiquidsStatistical methods.Statistical physics.530.4Wallace Duane C51157MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450683203321Statistical physics of crystals and liquids2449629UNINA
