{"product_id":"optical-properties-of-solids-mark-fox-9780199573370","title":"Optical Properties of Solids","description":"The second edition of this successful textbook provides an up-to-date account of the optical physics of solid state materials. The basic principles of absorption, reflection, luminescence, and light scattering are covered for a wide range of materials, including insulators, semiconductors and metals. The text starts with a review of classical optics, and then moves on to the treatment of optical transition rates by quantum theory. In addition to the traditional discussion of crystalline materials, glasses and molecular solids are also covered. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The first edition included a number of subjects that are not normally covered in standard texts, notably semiconductor quantum wells, molecular materials, vibronic solid state lasers, and nonlinear optics. The basic structure of the second edition is unchanged, but all of the chapters have been updated and improved. Futhermore, a number of important new topics have been added, including: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e DT Optical control of spin\u003cbr\u003e DT Quantum dots\u003cbr\u003e DT Plasmonics\u003cbr\u003e DT Negative refraction\u003cbr\u003e DT Carbon nanostructures (graphene, nanotubes and fullerenes) \u003cbr\u003e DT NV centres in diamond \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The text is aimed at final year undergraduates, masters students and researchers. It is mainly written for physicists, but might also be useful for electrical engineers, materials scientists and physical chemists. The topics are written in a clear tutorial style with worked examples, chapter summaries and exercises. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTo request a copy of the Solutions Manual, visit: http: \/\/global.oup.com\/uk\/academic\/physics\/admin\/solutions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Fox\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199573379\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199573370\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/20\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 7.40w x 0.90d","brand":"Mark Fox","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981498089727,"sku":"9780199573370","price":58.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_832f2db3-f4ab-4fad-9d0b-e3b97b29b3be.jpg?v=1683255932","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/optical-properties-of-solids-mark-fox-9780199573370","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
