Using potassium as an example, this work presents a unique approach
to the anomalous effects in metals, resulting in knowledge that can
be applied to similar materials.
Most theoretical predictions on the electric, magnetic, optical,
and thermal properties of a simple metal do - surprisingly - not
agree with experimental behavior found in alkali metals. The
purpose of this volume is to document the many phenomena that have
violated expectations. It collects in one place the research by
Albert Overhauser, one of the pioneers of the field. His and his
collaborators work has led to a unified synthesis of alkali metal
peculiarities. The unique collection of 65 reprint papers,
commented where necessary to explain the context and perspective,
is preceded by a thorough and well paced introduction.
The book is meant to advanced solid state physics and science
historians.
It might also serve as additional reading in advanced solid state
physics courses.
With a foreword by Mildred and Gene Dresselhaus
