Physics 927 E.Y.Tsymbal 3 The physical distinction between the two velocities is that vp is the velocity of the propagation of the plane wave, whereas the vg is the velocity of the propagation of the wave packet. The latter is the velocity for the propagation of energy in the medium.

Section 16: Magnetic properties of materials (continued)

Section 16: Magnetic properties of materials (continued) Ferromagnetism Ferromagnetism is the phenomenon of spontaneous magnetization – the magnetization exists in the ferromagnetic material in the absence of applied magnetic field. The best-known examples of ferromagnets are the transition metals Fe, Co, and Ni, but other elements and alloys ...

Section 4: Elastic Properties

The elastic properties are described by considering a crystal as a homogeneous continuum medium rather than a periodic array of atoms. In a general case the problem is formulated as follows: (i) Apply forces, which are described in terms of stress σ, and determine displacements of atoms which are described in terms of strain ε.

The wavefunctions (7.10) are the eigenfunctions of the momentum p =−i∇, which can be easily seen by differentiating (7.10) : pψk (r) =−i∇ψk (r) =kψk (r). (7.13) The eigenvalue of the momentum is k . The velocity of the electron is defined by v =p/m =k /m.

Section 4: Electrostatics of Dielectrics

This property of dielectrics is known as polarizability. Basically, polarizability is a consequence of the fact that molecules, which are the building blocks of all substances, are composed of both positive charges (nuclei) and negative charges (electrons). When an electric field
