Features: This book systematically introduces the fundamental concepts, theories, and physical models of solid-state physics, covering atomic structure, bonding rules, motion states, and energy relationships in solids, as well as the equations of electron motion, energy band structures, conductivity mechanisms in metals, and the basic principles of semiconductors and the fundamental laws of superconductivity. The book is divided into two parts, with a total of 10 chapters. Part 1 consists of 6 chapters, primarily introducing the foundational content of solid-state physics, such as the structure of solids, bonding in solids, lattice vibrations, metallic electron theory, and band theory. Part 2, with 4 chapters, provides an overview of important developments in solid-state physics over the past few decades, including semiconductor electron theory, the magnetism of solids, superconductivity, and amorphous solids. Additionally, the book incorporates several new topics reflecting the advancement of the discipline, such as quasicrystals, C60, high-temperature superconductors, giant magnetoresistance, and semiconductor superlattices. The foundational part of the book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate students in physics, materials science, and electronic information science. The thematic overview part is suitable for senior undergraduate and graduate students.
