| General note | Keeping the mathematics to a minimum yet losing none of the necessary rigour, Understanding Solid State Physics, Second Edition clearly explains basic physics principles to provide a firm grounding in the subject. This new edition has been fully updated throughout, with recent developments and literature in the field, including graphene and the use of quasicrystalline materials, in addition to featuring new journalistic boxes and the reciprocal lattice.<br/><br/><br/>The author underscores the technological applications of physics discussed and emphasizes the multidisciplinary nature of scientific research. After introducing students to solid state physics, the text examines how atoms bond together to form crystalline and amorphous solids. It also describes the measurement of mechanical properties and how the mechanical properties of solids can be altered or supplemented for particular applications. The author discusses how electromagnetic radiation interacts with the periodic array of atoms that make up a crystal and how solids react to heat on both atomic and macroscopic scales. She then focuses on conductors, insulators, semiconductors, and superconductors, including some essential semiconductor devices. The final chapter addresses the magnetic properties of solids and applications of magnets and magnetism.<br/><br/><br/>This accessible textbook provides a helpful introduction to solid state physics for undergraduates who feel daunted by a highly mathematical approach. Relating the theories and concepts to practical applications shows how physics is used in the real world. |
