Introductory Solid State Physics
Paperback Edition: 2
Assuming an elementary knowledge of quantum and statistical physics, this book provides a comprehensive guide to principal physical properties of condensed matter, as well as the underlying theory necessary for a proper understanding of their origins. The subject matter covers the principal features of condensed
matter physics, but with particular accent on the properties of metal alloys. Relevance to technical applications is recognized.
Contents:
The materials and methods of solid state physics; crystallography; diffraction; defects in crystals; lattice vibrations; metallic behaviour and the free electron gas; the periodic potential; the cohesion of pure metals; some physical properties of metals; semiconductors; magnetism; dielectric media; superconductivity; aspects of surface physics; the nucleus of solid state physics; answers to problems.
