Solid State Physics, Third Edition is a textbook tailored to students of physics, material science, chemistry, and engineering. It is a state-of-the-art presentation of the theoretical foundations and application of the quantum structure of matter and materials. This third edition revision provides timely coverage of the most important scientific breakthroughs of the last decade. It helps build readers' understanding of the newest advances in condensed matter physics with rigorous yet clear mathematical explanations. Comprehensive examples and chapter appendices are an integral part of the text, carefully designed to apply the fundamental principles illustrated in the text to currently active research topics. Fundamental concepts and recent advances in the field, including basic elements useful for understanding the electron behavior in nanostructures, are explained in tutorial style and organized in an intuitive manner. The book contains new content on topics including the in-depth presentation of Green’s function approach to simulate electron transport in nanostructures and expanded material on the description of nanoscale systems. The authors introduce the non-equilibrium Green’s function formalism and demonstrate its relation to the microscopic quantum transport of electrons, as well as the role of contacts, gates and disorder in realistic devices. This revised textbook is a basic reference work for students, researchers, and lecturers in any area of solid-state physics.Directly addresses solid state physics questions and explores their full, detailed solutions, complete with chapter appendicesPresents material from various areas of solid state physics in a simple, self-contained, tutorial manner appropriate for a designated courseExplains to readers the newest advances in the area of condensed matter physics through rigorous but lucid mathematics and carefully designed examplesBridges the gap between the active field of research and the concepts traditionally taught in solid state coursesProvides student and instructor support with ancillary exercise problems and numerical MATLAB scripts

Recent advances in physics, material sciences and technology have allowed the rise of new paradigms with bright prospects for digital electronics, going beyond the reach of Moore''s law, which details the scaling limit of electronic devices in terms of size and power. This book presents original and innovative topics in the field of beyond CMOS electronics, ranging from steep slope devices and molecular electronics to spintronics, valleytronics, superconductivity and optical chips.

Written by globally recognized leading research experts, each chapter of this book will provide an introductory overview of their topic and illustrate the state of the art and future challenges. Aimed not only at students and those new to this field, but also at well-experienced researchers, Beyond-CMOS provides extremely clear and exciting perspectives about the technology of tomorrow, and is thus an effective tool for understanding and developing new ideas, materials and architectures.
