Elements Of Solid State Physics

Solid state physics is an exhaustive introductory text for the students of physics. Keeping in mind, this book has been prepared to present the subject-matter in an easily understandable way without sacrificing the essential details and principles and yet avoiding redundant matter and unnecessary complications. Elements of Solid State Physics provide a comprehensive introduction to the physical properties of crystalline solids. The present text seeks to give readers a better understanding of the way solid state physics is conducted practically, particularly in it’s the light of recent researchers in the field, the illustrations and the up to date information of the text should prove to be serve as a guide for the readers. It explains in detail the following topics Atomic spectra, Reality of atoms, Quantized atom, Elementary particles, Wave packets, Quantum theory, Mass and energy, Practical geometry, Relativistic dynamics, Molecular energy and pressure, Heat and thermodynamics, Electromagnetic waves. The contents of the book will be highly valuable to students and teachers of solid-state physics and allied areas. It is hoped that the comprehensive and insightful content of the texts serve particularly well for the readers.
