Description

This, the most widely used introduction to solid state physics in the world, now published in 15 languages, is designed for upper-level physics, chemistry and electrical engineering students. The text presents both the theory and experimental facts of solids at an elementary level, with emphasis on semi- conductors and on wave propagation in periodic media. This latest Edition includes new chapters on surface and interface physics and on noncrystalline solids.
