Solid State Physics: Essential Concepts centers on the essential, unifying theoretical concepts and tools of modern condensed matter physics that every student should know. Envisioned for a 1-semester graduate-level course, this text assumes no prior knowledge of solid state phy…
"This is an introductory book on solid state physics. It is a translation of a Hebrew version, written for the Open University in Israel. Aimed mainly for self-study, the book contains appendices with the necessary background, explains each calculation in detail and contains man…
"By identifying unifying concepts across solid state physics, this text covers theory in an accessible way to provide graduate students with an intuitive understanding of effects and the basis for making quantitative calculations. Each chapter focuses on a different set of theor…
"This book centers on essential theoretical concepts in all types of solid state physics, using examples from speci c systems with real units and numbers. Each chapter focuses on a di erent set of theoretical tools. \Solid state" physics is particularly intended here, because \c…
