Solid State Physics, 1st Edition

This is a classic gem available in the market of solid state physics or condensed matter physics. I would recommend it to every learner of the subject. It is better than the popular Kittel’s book.

I loved the book. Awesome content. When I first saw the index it seemed something wrong (printing mistake) orientation of text printed was not aligned. But yes all other things are great. Must have for physics lover.

Good 👍

Great book to get a glimpse of the evolution of solid state physics down to the quantum mechanical level. It starts off with crude theories of the past and brings it's focus on the modern theories and approximations. It's a good book for in depth study of the subject. Undergraduates might find it challenging though.

This book is very good.I bought an old one, Nevertheless this is very good in condition.

The quality of the material of the book is very poor.... pages are so thin and the printings are transparent... disappointed with the quality actually... 3stars only for the contents of the book.

This book is suggested by our faculty and it was so easy to study and understand the concepts and it is very useful for students who want to learn n their own

First of all, the copy I have received, is printed all the right. This particular text actually is compilation of topics and discussions not only indispensable but the building blocks for study of Solid State Physics. Now, my personal concern is: This text is not at all for "first hand study" rather a "Prerequisite Study" of Solid State Physics from the text by M. Ali Omar or S. O. Pillai is a must. However, the topics like Brillouin Zones, Transition Metals, Tight Binding Model have been discussed elaborately.

A broad spectrum book, I found it very useful for reading during University module. I would thoroughly recommend this book for condensed matter introduction

Arrivato nel giro di una settimana dall'ordine. La carta delle pagine è molto sottile e ha la copertina flessibile, ma essendo un'edizione economica è perfetto. Mi è arrivato in ottime condizioni in quanto era impacchettato con cartone e plastiche varie. Contenuto ottimo e molto chiaro!

This is an excellent book. It is highly logical and very carefully worded. If you spend the time following the logic of the arguments, you will be rewarded by a very clear understanding of the subject matter. Pre requisites for this are (1) quantum mechanics [fairly good background] and (2) statistical mechanics. Probably of greatest note, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND using this book alongside ICTP (Abdus Salam International Center for Theoretical Physics) online video lectures on Solid State Physics by S. Scandalo. Look at website and you will find free access to these lectures. I am a self-studier of physics (not now or ever enrolled in formal degree programs), and Scandalo's lectures are INCREDIBLE. He is also highly logical and moves at a very appropriate pace for learners of the subject. He seems to formulate his arguments and derive his equations on the spot (rather than have preprepared lecture notes that are quickly written down and often makes lecture too fast to fully grasp). Scandalo's superb online video lectures coupled with this outstanding book makes learning Solid State Physics quite approachable and frankly deeply interesting and exciting. Only note that lectures don't fully correlate in sequence (which is okay); for example Scandalo starts from equivalent of Ch 3 of this book. Of note for other self-studiers, you do need good quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics background. For QM, there are good choices, but for books I have found Griffiths to be the best (although I first learned QM from Shankar); online video lectures by Barton Zwiebach (coupled with his great lecture notes) were outstanding and my favorite. For Statistical Mechanics, I did not do any online videos (though this might be worth it), but really enjoyed the presentation of Thermal Physics by Schroeder (which includes a lot of SM but also some classical thermodynamics).

I like it. It deal with a subect with profundity and an easy-to-understand approach

El libro me llegó casi una semana antes de lo esperado; el contenido estaba correcto, sin ninguna página defectuosa ni manchas ni nada. Muy contento con el pedido, la verdad.
