Most excellent existing textbooks in this area are aimed at advanced students and\/or have an encyclopaedic content, therefore, they are often overwhelmingly difficult and\/or too wide for undergraduates. On the contrary, this book is designed to accompany a one-semester, second or third-year course aimed at a tutorial introduction to solid state physics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is highly accessible and focuses on a selected set of topics (basically, the physics of phonons and electrons in crystals), whilst also providing substantial, in-depth coverage of the subject. Emphasis is given to the underlying physical basis or principle for each topic, although applications are covered when it is possible to link them to fundamental physical concepts in a simple way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author has taught undergraduate condensed matter physics for 17 years, and the book is based on this experience. Various pedagogical features are used in each chapter, including conceptual layout sections (defining the syllabus of each chapter), extensive use of figures (used to illustrate concepts, or to sketch experimental setups, or to present paradigmatic results) and highlights on the most important equations, definitions, and concepts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eFills a gap for a self-contained undergraduate textbook in solid state physics \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTailored for a one-semester course\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFocuses on a selected set of topics (basically, the physics of phonons and electrons in crystals), whilst also providing substantial, in-depth coverage of the subject\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEmphasises phenomenology rather than mathematics\/formalism\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUses various pedagogical features, including end-of-chapter exercises with solutions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 314\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.66 x 10 x 7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 10, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67603828965650,"sku":"9780750322638","price":48.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/2211\/5346\/files\/Xh9_g41C_Q9780750322638.webp?v=1791366750","url":"https:\/\/ckbookstore.net\/products\/solid-state-physics-a-primer-paperback","provider":"CK BOOKSTORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
