Based on an established course and covering the fundamentals, central areas and contemporary topics of this diverse field, Fundamentals of Condensed Matter Physics is a much-needed textbook for graduate students. The book begins with an introduction to the modern conceptual models of a solid from the points of view of interacting atoms and elementary excitations. It then provides students with a thorough grounding in electronic structure and many-body interactions as a starting point to understand many properties of condensed matter systems - electronic, structural, vibrational, thermal, optical, transport, magnetic and superconducting - and methods to calculate them. Taking readers through the concepts and techniques, the text gives both theoretically and experimentally inclined students the knowledge needed for research and teaching careers in this field. It features 246 illustrations, 9 tables and 100 homework problems, as well as numerous worked examples, for students to test their understanding. Solutions to the problems for instructors are available at www.cambridge.org/cohenlouie.

World-leading researchers, including Nobel Laureates and rising young stars, examine some of the most important and fundamental questions at the forefronts of modern science, philosophy, and theology, taking into account recent discoveries from a range of fields. This fascinating book is ideal for anyone seeking answers to deep questions about the universe and human life. The remarkable career of Charles H. Townes, inventor of the maser and laser for which he shared the 1964 Nobel Prize in Physics, has spanned seven decades. His interests have ranged from the origin of the Universe to the structure of molecules, always focusing on the nature of human life. Honouring his work, this book explores the most basic questions of science, philosophy, and the nature of existence: How did the Universe begin? Why do the fundamental constants of nature have the values they do? What is human consciousness, and do we have free will?

We began planning and writing this book in thc late 1970$ at thc ugge s stion of Manuel Cardona and Helmut Latsch. We also received considerable eo- couragement and stimulation from colleagues. Same said there was a need for instructional material in tbis area while others emphasized thc utility of a research text. We tried to strike a compromise. Thc figures, tables, and rcferences are included to enable researchcrs to obt81o quickly essential information in this area of semiconductor research. For instructoTS and stu- dents, we attempt to cover same basic ideas abaut electronic structure and semiconductor physics with applications to real, rather than model, solids. ~Ve \Vish to thank our colleagues and collaborators whose research rc- sults and ideas are presented here. Special thanks are duc to Jim Phillips who illfluellced lIS hoth during ollr formative )'ears and afterwards. We are grateful to Sari Yamagishi for her patience and skill with the typing and production of the manuscript. Finally, we acknowledge the great patience of Helmut Lotsch and Manucl Cardona. llerkeley, CA M.L. Gehen ~*[inncapolis, MN, J.R, Chelikew"ky March 1988 VII Contents 1.
