Description
Solid State Physics by J. R. Hook and H. E. Hall is an introduction to the fundamental concepts of physics that underpin our understanding of solids and their properties. This second edition has been extensively reworked to provide new coverage of semiconductor devices, the quantum Hall effect, quasicrystals, high-temperature superconductors, and techniques for studying solid surfaces. The book features a carefully structured text, flow diagrams allowing flexible study, optional advanced sections, and carefully selected problems at the end of each chapter. Solutions are provided at the end of the book to assist learning. This edition is suitable for students taking their first course in this subject as well as professional physicists and electronic engineers requiring a grasp of the fundamentals. With its clear and accessible approach, Solid State Physics provides a solid foundation for understanding the properties and behavior of solids, making it an essential resource for anyone looking to explore this important area of physics.
