Quantum Theory of Solids (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780748406272)

Although the topic is a well established sub-set of solid state physics, Quantum Theory of Solids develops the concepts of quantum theory for the solid state in a single, one-stop reference. Readers with previous courses in quantum mechanics and solid state physics can develop further, learning the three most significant topics in solid state physics: semiconductors, magnetism, and superconductivity. The author explains quantum mechanics techniques, such as the variational method and perturbation theory, not usually found in introductory courses. Covering the necessary physics from a basic to advanced level, the text is suitable for a stand-alone final year course.
