Solid-state physics, the largest branch of condensed matter physics, is the study of rigid matter, or solids, through methods such as quantum mechanics, crystallography, electromagnetism and metallurgy. Solid-state physics considers how the large-scale properties of solid materials result
from their atomic-scale properties. Solid-state physics thus forms the theoretical basis of materials science, as well as having direct applications, for example in the technology of transistors and semiconductors. The introductory text, written by author is designed to become a landmark in the field of solid state physics through its organized unification of key topics. This book provides necessary information about solid state physics. each topic discussed are explained with selected examples and diagrams. An extraordinarily readable writing style combines with chapter opening principles, study problems and beautiful illustration to make this book an ideal choice for students and teachers of physics.
Energy Dispersion Relations in Solids
Effective Mass Theory and Transport Phenomena
Electron and Phonon Scattering
Magneto-transport Phenomena
Transport in Low Dimensional Systems
Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy
Time-Independent Perturbation Theory
s and Electron-Phonon Interaction
Artificial Atoms and Superconductivity
Quantum and Statistical Mechanics
Broken Translational Invariance
Electronic Bands
