Séries d'exercices en électromagnétisme avec solutions destinées aux étudiants de 2ème année Licence Physique.

Les phénomènes vibratoires jouent un rôle déterminant dans presque toutes les branches de la physique: mécanique, électricité, optique, acoustique,… etc .mais malgré leur grande diversité, ils sont étudiés au moyen du même outil mathématique.

L’utilisation du formalisme de Lagrange est clairement spécifiée dans le programme officiel. Nous avons essayé d’introduire le formalisme de Lagrange le plus simplement possible dans le cas particulier d’un système à une particule possédant un degré de liberté.

Ce cours intitulé le «Oscillations libres des systèmes à un degré de liberté» se  permet à l'étudiant de construire une interprétation scientifique à l’aide des outils  mathématiques de certains phénomènes vibratoires


Crystal structure

 

1.1 INTRODUCTION

The aim of solid state physics is to explain the properties of solid materials as found on Earth. For almost all purposes the properties are expected to follow from Schrödinger’s equation for a collection of atomic nuclei and electrons interacting with electrostatic forces. The fundamental laws governing the behaviour of solids are therefore known and well tested. It is nowadays only in cosmology, astrophysics and high-energy physics that the fundamental laws are still in doubt.

In this book we shall be concerned almost entirely with crystalline solids, that is solids with an atomic structure based on a regular repeated pattern, a sort of three-dimensional wallpaper. Many important solids are crystalline in this sense, although this is not always manifest in the external form of the material. Because calculations are easier, more progress has been made in understanding the behaviour of crystalline than of non-crystalline materials. Many common solids—for example, glass, plastics, wood, bone—are not so highly ordered on an atomic scale and are therefore non-crystalline. Only recently has progress been made in understanding the behaviour of non-crystalline solids at a fundamental level.

Even in the restricted field of crystalline solids the most remarkable thing is the great variety of qualitatively different behaviour that occurs. We have insulators, semiconductors, metals and superconductors—all obeying different macroscopic laws: an electric field causes an electric dipole moment in an insulator (Chapter 9), a steady current in a metal or semiconductor (Chapters 3 to 6) and a steadily accelerated current in a superconductor (Chapter 10). Solids may be transparent or opaque, hard or soft, brittle or ductile, magnetic or nonmagnetic.

In this chapter we first introduce in Section 1.2 the basic ideas of crystallography. In Section 1.3 we describe some important crystal structures and in Section 1.4 we explain how x-ray diffraction is used to determine crystal structure. In Section 1.5 we discuss quasi-crystals, ordered solids that challenge much of the conventional wisdom concerning crystalline materials. Section 1.6 contains a qualitative description of the interatomic forces responsible for binding atoms into solids.
