Although there are many books published in solid state physics, there is a wide gap between the active field of research and the conceptstraditionally taught in solid state courses. This book fills that gap. The style is tutorial, simple, and completely self-contained. Solid State Physicsexplains to readers the newest advances in the area of condensed matter physics with rigorous, but lucid mathematics. Examples are an integral part of the text, and they are carefully designed to apply the fundamental principles illustrated in the text to currently active topics of research. Bridges the gap between fundamental principles and active fields of reserch, including explanations of all the latest advances Provides an in-depth treatment of current research topics Examples are integral to the text and apply fundamental principles to current topics of research Both authors have many years of experience of teaching at a variety of levels--undergraduate, post-graduate, tutorial workshops and seminars

Solid State Physics is a textbook for students of physics, material science, chemistry, and engineering. It is the state-of-the-art presentation of the theoretical foundations and application of the quantum structure of matter and materials.

This second edition provides timely coverage of the most important scientific breakthroughs of the last decade (especially in low-dimensional systems and quantum transport). It helps build readers' understanding of the newest advances in condensed matter physics with rigorous yet clear mathematics. Examples are an integral part of the text, carefully designed to apply the fundamental principles illustrated in the text to currently active topics of research.

Basic concepts and recent advances in the field are explained in tutorial style and organized in an intuitive manner. The book is a basic reference work for students, researchers, and lecturers in any area of solid-state physics.

Features additional material on nanostructures, giving students and lecturers the most significant features of low-dimensional systems, with focus on carbon allotropes Offers detailed explanation of dissipative and nondissipative transport, and explains the essential aspects in a field, which is commonly overlooked in textbooks Additional material in the classical and quantum Hall effect offers further aspects on magnetotransport, with particular emphasis on the current profiles Gives a broad overview of the band structure of solids, as well as presenting the foundations of the electronic band structure. Also features reported with new and revised material, which leads to the latest research

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
