TY - BOOK AU - Kittel, Charles TI - Introduction to solid state physics SN - 9971511800 PY - 1996/// CY - Singapore PB - John Wiley & Sons KW - Solid state KW - State of matter KW - Physics N1 - Includes bibliographical references; Appendix A-J, 631-665p.; Index 667-673p N2 - New edition of the most widely-used textbook on solid state physics in the world. Describes how the excitations and imperfections of actual solids can be understood with simple models that have firmly established scope and power. The foundation of this book is based on experiment, application and theory. Several significant advances in the field have been added including high temperature superconductors, quasicrystals, nanostructures, superlattices, Bloch/Wannier levels, Zener tunneling, light-emitting diodes and new magnetic materials ER -
