The physics and engineering of solid-state lasers is both a mature field and an area burgeoning with new activity. While there are many concepts and laser designs that have been established, each year continues to bring remarkable discoveries that open new avenues of research. In this article, it is not only intended to provide an accounting of the known physics of solid-state laser sources, but also to convey a sense of the enormity of the field and the likelihood that many new laser materials and architectures will be discovered during the next decade.

We attempt to delineate between surface physical chemistry and surface chemical physics and solid-state physics of surfaces. We exclude these last two subjects, which are largely wave mechanical in nature and can be highly mathematical they properly form a discipline of their own. 

Dislocation theory as a portion of the subject of solid-state physics is somewhat beyond the scope of this book, but it is desirable to examine the subject briefly in terms of its implications in surface chemistry. Perhaps the most elementary type of defect is that of an extra or interstitial atom—Frenkel defect [110]—or a missing atom or vacancy—Schottky defect [111]. Such point defects play an important role in the treatment of diffusion and electrical conductivities in solids and the solubility of a salt in the host lattice of another or different valence type [112]. Point defects have a thermodynamic basis for their existence in terms of the energy and entropy of their formation, the situation is similar to the formation of isolated holes and erratic atoms on a surface. Dislocations, on the other hand, may be viewed as an organized concentration of point defects they are lattice defects and play an important role in the mechanism of the plastic deformation of solids. Lattice defects or dislocations are not thermodynamic in the sense of the point defects their formation is intimately connected with the mechanism of nucleation and crystal growth (see Section IX-4), and they constitute an important source of surface imperfection.

The beginnings of the enormous field of solid-state physics were concisely set out in a fascinating series of recollections by some of the pioneers at a Royal Society Symposium (Mott 1980), with the participation of a number of professional historians of science, and in much greater detail in a large, impressive book by a number of historians (Hoddeson et al. 1992), dealing in depth with such histories as the roots of solid-state physics in the years before quantum mechanics, the quantum theory of metals and band theory, point defects and colour centres, magnetism, mechanical behaviour of solids, semiconductor physics and critical statistical theory. 

It is striking that in the English-speaking world, where academic departments are normal, no departments of either solid-state physics or of solid-state chemistry are to be found. These vast fields have been kept securely tethered to their respective...

The other place to read an authoritative histoi7 of the development of the quantum-mechanical theory of metals and the associated evolution of the band theory of solids is in Chapters 2 and 3 of the book. Out of the Crystal Maze, which is a kind of official history of solid-state physics (Hoddeson et al. 1992).
