By: Material type: TextTextSeries: Undergraduate lecture notes in physicsPublication details: Cham : Springer, 2015.Description: xiii, 215 p. : illustrations (some color) ; 24 cmISBN:
  • 9783319091402
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 530.41 23 H887
Contents:
1. Spectacular advances -- 2. Well ordered lattice structures in crystals -- 3. Permanent movement in the crystal lattice -- 4. Electric conductor or insulator? Energy bands -- 5. Metals obey the rules of quantum statistics -- 6. Less can me more: semiconductors -- 7. Circling electrons in high magnetic fields -- 8. The winner: superconductors -- 9. The big surprise: high-temperature superconductivity -- 10. Magnetism: order among the elementary magnets -- 11. Nanostructures: superlattices, quantum wires, and quantum dots -- 12. Defects in the crystal lattice: useful or harmful? -- Nobel Prizes in physics closely connected with the physics of solids -- Nobel Prizes in chemistry closely connected with the physics of solids.
Summary: This book provides an introduction to the fundamentals of solid state physics, including a description of the key people in the field and the historic context. The book concentrates on the electric and magnetic properties of materials. It is written for students up to the bachelor in the fields of physics, materials science and electric engineering. Because of its vivid explanations and its didactic approach, it can also serve as a motivating pre-stage and supporting companion in the study of the established and more detailed textbooks of solid state physics. The book is suitable for a quick repetition prior to examinations.
