  • 9780123850300 (hardback)
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 23 G878 530.41
Contents:
1. Electrons in one-dimensional periodic potentials-- 2. Geometrical description of crystals: direct and reciprocal lattices-- 3. The sommerfeld free-electron theory of metals-- 4. The one-electron approximation and beyond-- 5. Band theory of crystals-- 6. Electronic properties of selected crystals-- 7. Excitons, plasmons, and dielectric screening in crystals-- 8. Interacting electronic-nuclear systems and the adiabatic principle-- 9. Lattice dynamics of crystals-- 10. Scattering of particles by crystals-- 11. Optical and transport properties of metals-- 12. Optical properties of semiconductors and insulators-- 13. Transport in intrinsic and homogeneously doped semiconductors-- 14. Transport in inhomogeneous semiconductors-- 15. Electron gas in magnetic fields-- 16. Magnetic properties of localized systems and kondo impurities-- 17. Magnetic ordering in crystals-- 18. Superconductivity-- Index.
Summary: Solid State Physics is a textbook for students of physics, material science, chemistry, and engineering. It is the state-of-the-art presentation of the theoretical foundations and application of the quantum structure of matter and materials. This second edition provides timely coverage of the most important scientific breakthroughs of the last decade (especially in low-dimensional systems and quantum transport). It helps build readers' understanding of the newest advances in condensed matter physics with rigorous yet clear mathematics.
