Introductory Solid State Physics, Third Edition / Edition 3

by Colin Inglefield, Marcus C. Newton

Overview

Myers’ much beloved introduction to solid state physics has been thoroughly updated while retaining its benchmark accessibility to anyone with minimal background. The conceptual framework is presented with real world applications, and modern experimental approaches are given sufficient attention. Extensive updates to sections on semiconductors, dielectric media, superconductivity, and surface techniques are included, in addition to a new chapter on disordered and amorphous materials, and computational exercises.
