Produktbeschreibung

This book is the first of a three-volume series written by the same author. It aims to deliver a comprehensive and self-contained account of the fundamentals of the physics of solids. In the presentation of the properties and experimentally observed phenomena together with the basic concepts and theoretical methods, it goes far beyond most classic texts. The essential features of various experimental techniques are also explained. The text provides material for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses. It will also be a valuable reference for researchers in the field of condensed matter physics.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"The second volume is centered on the highly mobile portion of a solid, the electrons. ... senior students in physics will be able to tutor themselves through reading this volume. The text will also be very useful to a non-specialist in the field of electronic properties or to a research scientist who wants to get a basic introduction to the field. ... second volume of this series lives up to our expectations and will be very useful to students, teachers, and scientists in solid-state physics." (Fernande Grandjean and Gary J. Long, Belgian Physical Society Magazine, Issue 3, 2010)
