Solid State Physics - Structure and Properties of Materials (3rd Edition)

Solid State Physics: Structure and Properties of Materials (Third Edition)
By M.A. Wahab

Solid State Physics: Structure and Properties of Materials by M.A. Wahab is a comprehensive study designed for undergraduate and postgraduate students of pure and applied sciences and engineering disciplines. The book is divided into eighteen chapters, with the first seven chapters dealing with structure-related aspects such as lattice and crystal structures, bonding, packing, and diffusion of atoms, followed by imperfections and lattice vibrations. The book covers various physical properties of crystalline solids, with the final chapter addressing the anisotropic properties of materials using simple mathematical formulations such as tensors and matrices. Written from the author's 23 years of teaching experience at the undergraduate and postgraduate level, the text presents topics in a coherent, simple, and straightforward manner.

Topics commonly covered include:

• Atoms in crystals and atomic bonding
• Atomic packing, shape, and size
• Crystal imperfections and atomic diffusion
• Lattice (atomic) vibrations
• Diffraction of waves and particles by crystals
• Thermal properties of materials
• Free electrons in crystals and band theory
• The Fermi surface
• Semiconducting properties of materials
• Dielectric and optical properties of materials
• Magnetic properties of materials
• Superconductivity
• Anisotropic properties of materials

Key features:

• Easy-to-follow explanations suited for beginners and undergraduate students
• Detailed chapters on crystal structure, X-ray diffraction, and superconductivity
• Numerous illustrations and diagrams to visually explain complex concepts
• End-of-chapter problems and exercises for reinforcing learning
• Useful for students preparing for the National Eligibility Test (NET) conducted by UGC/CSIR
