Since the publication of the first edition of this book, the field of non-crystalline conduction has developed rapidly, leading Nobel-Prize-winning author Sir Nevill Mott to offer this extensively revised and updated account. As in the first edition, it deals with the basics of electrons in non-crystalline systems, updating the theory of interactions in non-crystalline systems, introducing a more detailed discussion on the 'minimum metallic conductivity', and addressing the relevance of disorder in the new high-temperature superconductors. Postgraduates and researchers in solid-state physics will find this work a valuable resource.
