Online resources: Summary: Solid State Physics is a textbook for students of physics, material science, chemistry, and engineering. It is the state-of-the-art presentation of the theoretical foundations and application of the quantum structure of matter and materials. This second edition provides timely coverage of the most important scientific breakthroughs of the last decade (especially in low-dimensional systems and quantum transport). It helps build readers' understanding of the newest advances in condensed matter physics with rigorous yet clear mathematics. Examples are an integral part of the text, carefully designed to apply the fundamental principles illustrated in the text to currently active topics of research. Basic concepts and recent advances in the field are explained in tutorial style and organized in an intuitive manner. The book is a basic reference work for students, researchers, and lecturers in any area of solid-state physics. Features additional material on nanostructures, giving students and lecturers the most significant features of low-dimensional systems, with focus on carbon allotropes Offers detailed explanation of dissipative and nondissipative transport, and explains the essential aspects in a field, which is commonly overlooked in textbooks Additional material in the classical and quantum Hall effect offers further aspects on magnetotransport, with particular emphasis on the current profiles Gives a broad overview of the band structure of solids, as well as presenting the foundations of the electronic band structure. Also features reported with new and revised material, which leads to the latest research.Summary: Intro -- Half Title -- Title Page -- Copyright -- Contents -- Preface to the second edition -- Preface to the first edition -- 1 Electrons in One-Dimensional Periodic Potentials -- 1.1 The Bloch Theorem for One-Dimensional Periodicity -- 1.2 Energy Levels of a Single Quantum Well and of a Periodic Array of Quantum Wells -- 1.3 Transfer Matrix, Resonant Tunneling, and Energy Bands -- 1.3.1 Transmission and Reflection of Electrons from an Arbitrary Potential -- 1.3.2 Double Barrier and Resonant Tunneling -- 1.3.3 Electron Tunneling through a Periodic Potential -- 1.4 The Tight-Binding Model -- 1.4.1 Expansion in Localized Orbitals -- 1.4.2 Tridiagonal Matrices and Continued Fractions -- 1.5 Plane Waves and Nearly Free-Electron Model -- 1.5.1 Expansion in Plane Waves -- 1.5.2 The Mathieu Potential and the Continued Fraction Solution -- 1.6 Some Dynamical Aspects of Electrons in Band Theory -- Appendix A.
