Provides a basic introduction to the principles of solid state physics and, unlike many other introductory texts on the subject, it assumes no prior knowledge of quantum or statistical mechanics but relies on simple models to illustrate the physical principles. Highlights include a wide range of numerical problems with solutions and hints together with a large number of descriptive questions which serve as a means of self-testing and revision.
I'm a graduate student majoring in solid state physics in south korea. Although I bought this book to study solid state physics, materials about solid state physics are poor for me to understand the basic concept of solid state physics. This is good for undergraduate students of semiconductor beginner but poor for students to study solid state physics. This book is dealt with quantum theory and energy bands in the point of view to beginner. This book does not cover with many mathematical expressions.This book is good for you to read without stress. if you study with background about the semiconductor, then you will increase your knowledge related to the semiconductor.
