The text assumes only basic mathematical knowledge on the part of the reader and includes more than 100 discussion questions and some 70 problems, with solutions free to lecturers from the Wiley-VCH website. The coverage now includes ground-breaking materials with high relevance for applications in communication and energy, like graphene and topological insulators, as well as transparent conductors. The revised edition has been carefully updated to present an up-to-date account of the essential topics and recent developments in this exciting field of physics. The book is providing qualitative discussions that help undergraduates understand concepts even if they can?t follow all the mathematical detail.
Each section starts with a gentle introduction, covering basic principles, progressing to a more advanced level in order to present a comprehensive overview of the subject. The clear and concise introduction not only describes all the basic phenomena and concepts, but also such advanced issues as magnetism and superconductivity. This successful brief course in solid state physics is now in its second edition. A must-have textbook for any undergraduate studying solid state physics.
