Solid State Physics, a comprehensive study for the undergraduate and postgraduate students of pure and applied sciences, and engineering disciplines is divided into eighteen chapters. The First seven chapters deal with structure related aspects such as lattice and crystal structures, bonding, packing and diffusion of atoms followed by imperfections and lattice vibrations. Chapter eight deals mainly with experimental methods of determining structures of given materials. While the next nine chapters cover various physical properties of crystalline solids, the last chapter deals with the anisotropic properties of materials. This chapter has been added for benefit of readers to understand the crystal properties (anisotropic) in terms of some simple mathematical formulations such as tensor and matrix. New to the Second Edition: Chapter on: *Anisotropic Properties of Materials

Document from the year 2020 in the subject Physics - Other, grade: 4.00 (very good), , language: English, abstract: This volume has study of crystal structure, the crystal bindings in solids, free electron theory, crystal defects, color centers, semiconductors, and superconductivity is made to fulfill the requirements of different kinds of readers. Electrical properties of metals, especially band theory of solids, magnetic properties of materials and dielectric properties of materials are discussed in details with fairness. Magnetic properties of materials id est, the classical theory of magnetism and the Quantum theory of magnetism have been discussed in two different Chapters. In the same way, the Classical statistical mechanics and the Quantum statistical mechanics have been discussed in two different chapters. This volume has to present illustrative examples of both the ideas and the methods. The book is intended as a text book on Solid State Physics for undergraduate, graduate, and Masters Levels and also as a reference book for anyone who is interested in this field of enquiry. It is to be noted that the purpose of this book is to cover the basic principles and methods of Solid State Physics which are usually included in the course of teaching Physics at the undergraduate, graduate, and Masters Levels. We hope that this book will be useful to the students and teachers in the different universities around the world.

This text offers basic understanding of the electronic structure of covalent and ionic solids, simple metals, transition metals and their compounds; also explains how to calculate dielectric, conducting, bonding properties.

Offers a comprehensive study for students of pure and applied sciences, and engineering disciplines. Topics include structure related aspects, such as lattice and crystal structures, bonding, packing and diffusion of atoms followed by imperfections and lattice vibrations, and the various physical properties of crystalline solids.

Metal Physics and Physical Metallurgy, Volume 6: Solid State Physics for Metallurgists provides an introduction to the basic understanding of the properties that make materials useful to mankind. This book discusses the electronic structure of matter, which is the domain of solid state physics. Organized into 12 chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the electronic structure of free atoms and the electronic structure of solids. This text then examines the basis of the Bloch theorem, which is the exact periodicity of the potential. Other chapters consider the fundamental assumption in the solid whereby the bonding electrons between atoms act as nearly harmonic oscillator spring being somewhat stiffer in compression than expansion. This book discusses as well the various properties of the nucleus. The final chapter deals with the different experimental measurements on copper and iron. This book is a valuable resource for metallurgists, experimentalists, and solid state physicists.

While the standard solid state topics are covered, the basic ones often have more detailed derivations than is customary (with an empasis on crystalline solids). Several recent topics are introduced, as are some subjects normally included only in condensed matter physics. Lattice vibrations, electrons, interactions, and spin effects (mostly in magnetism) are discussed the most comprehensively. Many problems are included whose level is from "fill in the steps" to long and challenging, and the text is equipped with references and several comments about experiments with figures and tables.

Solid State Physics is a textbook for students of physics, material science, chemistry, and engineering. It is the state-of-the-art presentation of the theoretical foundations and application of the quantum structure of matter and materials. This second edition provides timely coverage of the most important scientific breakthroughs of the last decade (especially in low-dimensional systems and quantum transport). It helps build readers' understanding of the newest advances in condensed matter physics with rigorous yet clear mathematics. Examples are an integral part of the text, carefully designed to apply the fundamental principles illustrated in the text to currently active topics of research. Basic concepts and recent advances in the field are explained in tutorial style and organized in an intuitive manner. The book is a basic reference work for students, researchers, and lecturers in any area of solid-state physics. - Features additional material on nanostructures, giving students and lecturers the most significant features of low-dimensional systems, with focus on carbon allotropes - Offers detailed explanation of dissipative and nondissipative transport, and explains the essential aspects in a field, which is commonly overlooked in textbooks - Additional material in the classical and quantum Hall effect offers further aspects on magnetotransport, with particular emphasis on the current profiles - Gives a broad overview of the band structure of solids, as well as presenting the foundations of the electronic band structure. Also features reported with new and revised material, which leads to the latest research
