Features: This book introduces some important advances in condensed matter physics, starting from the relevant basic concepts and fundamental knowledge. It progresses from simple to complex, with a total of fourteen chapters. The first three chapters cover the basic content of solid-state physics, including crystal structure, lattice vibrations and phonons, and band theory. Chapters four to fourteen respectively explore artificial property tailoring and nanotechnology, structure and properties, nonlinear transport phenomena, mode-locking phenomena, magnetic effects and phenomena, quantum Hall effect, quasi-periodic structures, fractal structures and fractal dimensions, semiconductor luminescence and display, an introduction to nonlinear optical materials, superconductivity and superfluidity. Each chapter is relatively independent, introducing basic phenomena, theories, and research methods in the progress of condensed matter physics. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in comprehensive universities and related higher education institutions. It can also be used as a reference book for researchers, teachers, and students in relevant fields, as well as an advanced popular science reading material.
