Maggiori informazioni sul libro
This essential textbook for undergraduates studying solid state physics is now in its second edition, offering a clear and concise introduction to both basic phenomena and advanced topics like magnetism and superconductivity. Each section begins with fundamental principles and progresses to more complex concepts, providing a comprehensive overview. The qualitative discussions aid understanding, even for those who may struggle with mathematical details. The revised edition includes up-to-date accounts of essential topics and recent developments, featuring groundbreaking materials relevant to communication and energy, such as graphene and topological insulators. It assumes only basic mathematical knowledge and offers over 100 discussion questions and around 70 problems, with solutions available for lecturers online. The author's webpage provides additional resources on topics like x-ray scattering and the quantum Hall effect. New features in this edition include expanded coverage of mechanical properties, improved discussions on graphene, and a section on the quantum Hall effect. The treatment of semiconductors has been enhanced, particularly regarding solar cells, while magnetism and nanostructures receive more extensive coverage. Recommendations for further reading have been updated, and new exercises have been added, enhancing the learning experience.
