Solid-State Physics

Diese bündige aber vollständige Einführung in die Festkörperphysik behandelt experimentelle und theoretische Methoden gleichrangig. Drei wichtige Forschungsgebiete, Magnetismus, Supraleitung und die Halbleiterphysik, werden besonders vertieft. Anhand von in sich abgeschlossenen Text-Tafeln wird der Leser mit modernen Experimenten und Forschungsgebieten vertraut gemacht und kann sein Verständnis des systematischen Textteiles erproben. Mit diesem Buch liegt die Übersetzung des bekannten Springer-Lehrbuches Festkörperphysik vor.

This new edition of the well-received introduction to solid-state physics provides a comprehensive overview of the basic theoretical and experimental concepts of materials science. Experimental aspects and laboratory details are highlighted in separate panels that enrich text and emphasize recent developments.

Notably, new material in the fourth edition includes sections on important devices, aspects of non-periodic structures of matter, phase transitions, defects, superconductors and nanostructures. Especially the chapters on super- and on semiconductivity had been completly updated, inlcuding new developments and new figures.

Students will benefit significantly from solving the exercises given at the end of each chapter. This book is intended for university students in physics, materials science and electrical engineering. This edition has been thoroughly updated to maintain its usefulness as modern text and reference.

Comprehensive overview of solid-state physics Includes current topics of high importance, such as superconductors, nanostructures and Quantum-Hall systems Enlarged and updated edition of very popular title, completly updated chapters on semi- and superconductors. All-inclusive presentation: theoretical and experimental aspects together Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

Klappentext

This new edition of the popular introduction to solid-state physics provides a comprehensive overview on basic theoretical and experimental concepts of material science. Additional sections emphasize current topics in solid-state physics.
Notably, sections on important devices, aspects of non-periodic structures of matter, phase transitions, defects, superconductors and nanostructures have been added, the chapters presenting semi- and superconductivity had been completly updated.
Students will benefit significantly from solving the exercises given at the end of each chapter. This book is intended for university students in physics, engineering and electrical engineering. This edition has been carefully revised, updated, and enlarged. Among the key recent developments incorporated throughout GMR (giant magneto resistance), thin-film magnetic properties, magnetic hysteresis and domain walls, quantum transport, metamaterials, and preparation techniques for nanostructures.

From a review of the original edition "... An excellent mix of concepts, theoretical arguments, and discussion of modern experiments - all at an introductory level ... Full of illustrations, photographs, schematic diagrams of experimental techniques, and graphs ofresults..." -- American Journal of Physics
