{"product_id":"elements-of-solid-state-physics","title":"Elements of Solid State Physics","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis revised and updated Fourth Edition of the text builds on the strength of previous edition and gives a systematic and clear exposition of the fundamental principles of solid state physics. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The text covers the topics, such as crystal structures and chemical bonds, semiconductors, dielectrics, magnetic materials, superconductors, and nanomaterials. What distinguishes this text is the clarity and precision with which the author discusses the principles of physics, their relations as well as their applications. With the introduction of new sections and additional information, the fourth edition should prove highly useful for the students.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This book is designed for the courses in solid state physics for B.Sc. (Hons.) and M.Sc. students of physics. Besides, the book would also be useful to the students of chemistry, material science, electrical\/electronic and allied engineering disciplines.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eNew to the Fourth Edition\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolved examples has been introduced to explain the fundamental principles of physics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatrix representation for symmetry operations has been introduced in Chapter 1 to enable the use of Group Theory for treating crystallography. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA section entitled Other Contributions to Heat Capacity, has been introduced in Chapter 5.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA statement on Kondo effect (minimum) has been added in Chapter 14. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA section on Graphenes has been introduced in Chapter 16.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe section on Carbon Nanotubes, in Chapter 16 has been revised.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Lesson on Group Theory, has been added as Appendix.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eTable of Contents:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Preface\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Crystalline State \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAtomic Cohesion and Crystal Binding \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReciprocal Lattice and Determination of Crystal Structure \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLattice Vibrations \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThermal Properties of Solids \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree Electron Theory of Metals \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectron Energy Bands \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMobile Electrons and Fermi Surfaces \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Phi Learning","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45879890444486,"sku":"DADAX8120350669","price":17.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/9389\/1014\/files\/61ggvHDfyiL.jpg?v=1779718847","url":"https:\/\/ergodemedia.com\/products\/elements-of-solid-state-physics","provider":"Ergodemedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
