Semimetals

1 Graphite and its Compounds. Semimetals presents, for the first time in the literature, a consistent and unifying treatment of semimetals As, Bi, Sb, Bi-Sb alloys, graphite and its compounds. It describes their structural features and their electric, magnetic, galvanomagnetic, thermoelectric, optical, magneto-optical, acoustic, thermal, and mechanical properties on the basis of modern concepts of the electron and phonon energy spectra.The book discusses in detail the character of the changes in the energy spectrum and properties of semimetals due to temperature variations, application of a magnetic field, pressure,
