Understanding Solid State Physics

Keeping the mathematics to a minimum yet losing none of the required rigor, this accessible text clearly explains basic physics principles to provide a firm grounding in the subject. The author highlights the technological applications of the physics discussed and emphasizes the multidisciplinary nature of scientific research. By relating the theories and concepts to practical applications, she shows how physics is used in the real world. The text contains worked examples, self-test questions, and a glossary of frequently used terms. It also includes derivations of key equations and reviews of essential physics in the appendices.
