Superconductivity -- Table of Physical Constants-- References-- Subject index N2 - Introduction to Condensed Matter Physics discusses the basic concept and determination of crystal structure along with the free-electron theory, band theory, semiconductors and a few devices. Magnetic properties suitable for undergraduate and post-graduate students are also discussed in detail. Superconductivity from phenomenological to quantum theories have been described in a lucid manner. A few problems and tables are given at appropriate places. ER -
