Intended for a two semester advanced undergraduate or graduate course in Solid State Physics, this treatment offers modern coverage of the theory and related experiments, including the group theoretical approach to band structures, Moessbauer recoil free fraction, semi-classical electron theory, magnetoconductivity, electron self-energy and Landau theory of Fermi liquid, and both quantum and fractional quantum Hall effects. Integrated throughout are developments from the newest semiconductor devices, e.g. space charge layers, quantum wellsand superlattices. The first half includes all material usually covered in the introductory course, but in greater depth than most introductory textbooks. Offers modern coverage of the solid-state-physics theory and related experiments, including the group theoretical approach, semi-classical electron theory, and both quantum and fractional quantum Hall effects Integrates developments from the newest semiconductor devices, e.g. space charge layers, quantum wells and superlattices New approach to apply group theory to study band structures INDICE: 1.
