Rogalski M.S., Palmer S.B. Solid State Physics

OPA (Overseas Publishers Association) N.V. Published by license under the Gordon and Breach Science Publishers imprint, 2000. – 480 p. – ISBN10: 9056992724, 9056992732.Solid State Physics opens with the adiabatic approximation to the many-body problem of a system of ions and valence electrons. After chapters on lattice symmetry, structure and dynamics, it then proceeds with four chapters devoted to the single-electron theory of the solid state. Semiconductors and dielectrics are covered in depth and chapters on magnetism and superconductivity follow. The book concludes with a chapter on solid surfaces. Every section is followed by solved problems, some of them illustrating areas of current interest in solid state physics, to give the student a practical working knowledge of the subject, and the text is illustrated by many supplementary examples.Systems of Atoms
