About this ebook

Solid State Physics, International Edition covers the fundamentals and the advanced concepts of solid state physics. The book is comprised of 18 chapters that tackle a specific aspect of solid state physics. Chapters 1 to 3 discuss the symmetry aspects of crystalline solids, while Chapter 4 covers the application of X-rays in solid state science. Chapter 5 deals with the anisotropic character of crystals. Chapters 6 to 8 talk about the five common types of bonding in solids, while Chapters 9 and 10 cover the free electron theory and band theory. Chapters 11 and 12 discuss the effects of movement of atoms, and Chapter 13 talks about the optical properties of crystals. Chapters 14 to 18 cover the other relevant areas of solid state physics, such as ferroelectricity, magnetism, surface science, and artificial structure. The book will be of great use both to novice and experienced researchers in the field of solid state physics.

    A rather overlooked but extremely well written and thorough introductory book on Solid State Physics. Written in 1990, covers in depth all the basic concepts in a lucid way by providing all the basic mathematical formulations without falling into excessive pedantry together with some pertinent experimental data. It is very conveniently organised, far superior to the incoherent and rambling style of Kittel, and more experimentally oriented than Ashcroft and Mermin. A first class text book on Solid State Physics for undergraduate students.
