First published in 1989, this book contained the first systematic
account of magnetoresistance in metals, the study of which has
provided solid-state physicists with much valuable information
about electron motion in metals. The electrical resistance of a
metal is usually changed when a magnetic field is applied to it; at
low temperatures the change may be very large indeed and when
magnetic breakdown is involved, very complex. Every metal behaves
differently, and the effect is highly dependent on the direction of
the field relative to the crystal axes. Quite apart from its
usefulness for determining the Ferni surfaces of individual metals,
the phenomenon presents many interesting problems in its own right;
it is the phenomenon, rather than its applications, that Professor
Pippard concentrates on in this book. The level of treatment is
aimed at readers with a basic knowledge of undergraduate
solid-state physics, and makes no great demand on mathematical
ability. The text is copiously illustrated with real experimental
results.
