Solid

Frederick Seitz
OpenURL
Show Topic
Physicists often leave the new ground they break for others to till and to cultivate. Solid state physics, the author finds, is unique because physicists are continuing its exploitation. This, he thinks, may be a new pattern for other fields from which the frontier has withdrawn. This article is taken from a speech given at the dinner meeting of the American Physical Society's Division of Solid State Physics in Cleveland on March 11, 1949.
