Solid State Physics opens with the adiabatic approximation to the many-body problem of a system of ions and valence electrons. After chapters on lattice symmetry, structure and dynamics, it then proceeds with four chapters devoted to the single-electron theory of the solid state. Semiconductors and dielectrics are covered in depth and chapters on magnetism and superconductivity follow. The book concludes with a chapter on solid surfaces. Every section is followed by solved problems, some of them illustrating areas of current interest in solid state physics, to give the student a practical working knowledge of the subject, and the text is illustrated by many supplementary examples.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Competent job as an intro graduate text,
By
This review is from: Solid State Physics (Hardcover)
A good follow-on book if you have already used Ashcroft and Mermin's Solid State Physics book, or Kittel's introductory book. Some duplicate material compared to those two books. But this takes you a little further into superconductivity, for example. The treatment of which is the classic Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer theory. At the graduate level, it is probably a first year text. Nothing here gets you to the research frontier. But it is a good grounding. You should find the writing clear enough. The authors seem to have spent some time polishing the prose.
