This book emphasises both experimental and theoretical aspects of surface, interface and thin-film physics. Because of their importance in modern information technology and nanostructure research, particular emphasis is paid to electronic surface and interface states, semiconductor space charge layers and heterostructures.

The second edition deals with all essential aspects of non-relativistic quantum physics up to the quantisation of fields.

Die siebte Auflage der Festkörperphysik behandelt gleichrangig theoretische wie experimentelle Aspekte. Die neue Auflage wurde überarbeitet und auf den neuesten Stand gebracht. Das Buch wendet sich an Studierende der Physik, der Materialwissenschaften sowie der Elektrotechnik mit Schwerpunkt Halbleiterphysik/ Halbleiterbauelemente. Übersichtstafeln und Übungen runden das Buch ab.

This new edition of the well-received introduction to solid-state physics provides a comprehensive overview of the basic theoretical and experimental concepts of materials science.

The fourth edition of "Solid Surfaces, Interfaces and Thin Films" has been used meanwhile as a standard textbook around the world at many universities and research institutions. Even though surface and interface physics have become a mature science branch, their theoretical concepts and experimental techniques are of higher importance than ever before because of their impact on nanostructure physics. Surface and interface physics form the basis for modern nanoscience, be it in quantum electronics, in catalysis, in corrosion, or in lubrication research. This explains the ever-growing demand for education in these elds. It was therefore time to carefully revise the book and bring it up to latest dev- opments both in fundamental research and in application. Concerning new ma- rial aspects topics about group III nitride surfaces and high k-oxide/semiconductor heterostructures have been included. Recent developments in these material classes are of essential importance for high-speed/high-power electronics and advanced - based CMOS technology on the nanometer scale.The novel eld of spin electronics or spintronics having been initiated by the detection of the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) by Peter Grunberg and Albert Fert (Nobel Prize 2007) required a more extensive consideration of anisotropy effects in thin magnetic lms. For the devel- ment of purely electrical spin switching devices based on spin effects rather than on semiconductor space charge layers, a prerequisite for high-speed, low-power sp- tronics, the spin-transfer torque mechanism shows some promise. Correspondingly this topic is discussed in direct connection with the GMR in this new edition.

The book deals with all essential aspects of non-relativistic quantum physics up to the quantization of fields. In contrast to common textbooks of quantum mechanics, modern experiments are described both for the purpose of foundation of the theory and in relation to recent applications. In this respect applications to nano-electronics as well as the realization of quantum-bits are presented and discussed. Furthermore, links are made to other important research fields and applications, such as elementary particle physics, solid state physics and nuclear magnetic resonance tomography in medicine. Even though the representation of the topics is largely performed in terms of Dirac´s bra-ket notation and by use of commutator algebra, the concrete description of the physical basis and the corresponding theoretical concepts are emphasized. Because of little requirement of complex mathematics, the book is suitable as an introduction into quantum physics, not only for physicists but also for chemists, biologists, engineers, computer scientists and even for philosophers as far as they are interested in natural philosophy and epistomology.

Das Buch behandelt alle wesentlichen Aspekte der nichtrelativistischen Quantenphysik bis hin zur Quantisierung von Feldern. Im Gegensatz zu üblichen Lehrbüchern der Quantenmechanik werden jedoch modernste Experimente sowohl zur Begründung der Theorie wie auch zu modernen Anwendungen, vor allem aus dem Gebiet der Nanoelektronik bis hin zur Realisierung von Quantenbits vorgestellt und diskutiert. Weiter wird der Bezug zu anderen wichtigen Forschungsgebieten und Anwendungen wie der Elementarteilchenphysik, der Festkörperphysik und der Kernspintomographie in der Medizin aufgezeigt.Auch wenn die Darstellung in weiten Bereichen auf der Diracschen bra-ket-Notation und der Kommutatoralgebra basiert, steht die anschauliche Darstellung der physikalischen Zusammenhänge und die gedankliche Durchdringung der theoretischen Konzepte im Vordergrund. Wegen der recht geringen Voraussetzung an komplexer Mathematik eignet sich das Buch als Einführung in das Gebiet der Quantenphysik, nicht nur für Physiker sondern auch für Chemiker, Biologen, Ingenieure und Informatiker und selbst für Philosophen, falls sie denn naturwissenschaftlich orientiert sind.
