Solid State Physics provides a clear and concise introduction to the topic that describes all the basic phenomena and concepts, but also discusses more advanced issues such as magnetism and superconductivity. Including more than 100 discussion questions and about 70 problems, this text is supplemented with a website which contains the solutions to the problems found in the book, along with additional materials. Only basic mathematical knowledge is assumed of the reader, making this the ideal text for undergratuates in physics, materials science, and solid state chemistry. INDICE: 1.
