DESCRIPTION:
" A very nice book I would personally buy it"- Professor Henry Ehrenreich, Harvard University
Excellent book in solid state This book has been used as a major textbook of one year graduate course "Theory of Solids" at MIT. At first glance, I feel it more or less boring, compared with Mahan's book "Condensed Matter in a Nutshell", but after I went through the entire book carefully during the past year, I really learnt a lot. This book is quite clear and pedagogical. For instance, it uses 1D periodic potential to illust. "Good but sometimes confusing" according to yuchen zhou. The theory is presented good enough and basic principles are clear. Appendix on the end of each chapter are helpful in understanding what is really going on in physics view. However,it is confusing for some very simple calculation errors here or there. And units being used when writing the book are obscure,especially in the magnetism part. Good book for reference but not the best for learning.. Excellent book In this book, I found the largely expected update of the classic Ashcroft & Mermin's book of 1976. Every solid state theorist should use both.
The style is tutorial, simple, and completely self-contained. 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. Solid State Physicsexplains to readers the newest advances in the area of condensed matter physics with rigorous, but lucid mathematics. 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. Key Features* 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 a
