Solid State Physics, Second Edition, written by J. R. Hook and H. E. Hall, is a textbook that provides a comprehensive overview of the core areas within solid-state physics. This second volume is intended for students and professionals who want to master the basic principles of solid-state physics clearly and in a structured way.
Contents
This revised edition covers fundamental concepts using accessible examples, such as wave propagation in crystals, and extends this to more complex topics such as the reciprocal lattice. New chapters address semiconductor devices, the quantum Hall effect, quasicrystals, high-temperature superconductivity, and surface measurement techniques. In addition, there is attention to dielectrics and ferroelectrics. The text includes clear study guidance and extra sections for deeper knowledge. For each chapter, there are selected practice problems with solutions.
