UNIFIED FORMULATION OF CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC, ELECTRONIC AND THERMAL PROPERTIES OF CUBIC STRUCTURED METALS

Abstract

This work is an attempt to unify the approach for the determination of crystallographic, thermal and electronic properties of metals with cubic structure. To the best of the author's knowledge, this unified formulation is an original pedagogical contribution to condensed matter physics. It aims to provide a systematic method to generate systematically the abovementioned properties of cubic structured metals based only on a minimal set of fundamental characteristics of these materials. In this way, this method offers condensed matter physicists and materials scientists a very useful tool to estimate easily those properties from their most reduced forms without the need to memorize their previous forms.
