Since the publication of the first edition over 50 years ago, Introduction to Solid State Physics has been the standard solid state physics text for physics students. The author's goal from the beginning has been to write a book that is accessible to undergraduates and consistently teachable. The emphasis in the book has always been on physics rather than formal mathematics. With each new edition, the author has attempted to add important new developments in the field without sacrificing the book's accessibility and teachability.* A very important chapter on nanophysics has been written by an active worker in the field. This field is the liveliest addition to solid state science during the past ten years* The text uses the simplifications made possible by the wide availability of computer technology. Searches using keywords on a search engine (such as Google) easily generate many fresh and useful references Booknews An introductory text on solid state physics for seniors and beginning graduate students in physical science and engineering, covering topics which include crystal structure and binding, phonons, fermi surfaces and metals, superconductivity, magnetic resonance, and surface and interface physics. Appendices explain numerous calculations and equations. This seventh edition contains treatment of fiber optics and new magnetic materials, and displays the results of scanning tunneling microscopy. Includes b&w illustrations. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
