Introduction to Solid State Physics 8th Edition, Kittel

Introduction to Solid State Physics 8th Edition PDF Download Ebook. Charles Kittel uses the simplifications made possible by the wide availability of computer technology. Searches using keywords on a search engine (such as Google) easily generate many fresh and useful references.

This text has been the standard solid state physics text for physics students. The author's goal from the beginning has been to write a book that is accessible to undergraduates and consistently teachable. The emphasis in the book has always been on physics rather than formal mathematics. With each new edition, the author has attempted to add important new developments in the field without sacrificing the book's accessibility and teachability.

A very important chapter on nanophysics has been written by an active worker in the field. This field is the liveliest addition to solid state science during the past ten years. The crystallographic notation conforms with current usage in physics. Important equations in the body of the text are repeated in SI and CGS-Gaussian units, where these differ.

Charles Kittel did his undergraduate work in physics at M.I.T and at the Cavendish Laboratory of Cambridge University. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin. He worked in the solid state group at Bell Laboratories, along with Bardeen and Shockley, leaving to start the theoretical solid state physics group at Berkeley in 1951. His research has been largely in magnetism and in semiconductors.

In magnetism he developed the theories of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic resonance and the theory of single ferromagnetic domains, and extended the Bloch theory of magnons. In semiconductor physics he participated in the first cyclotron and plasma resonance experiments and extended the results to the theory of impurity states and to electron-hole drops.

Magnetism in Condensed Matter by Stephen Blundell

Magnetism in Condensed Matter PDF Download Ebook. Stephen Blundell describes the modern theory of the magnetic properties of solids. Starting from fundamental principles, this copiously illustrated volume outlines the theory of magnetic behaviour, describes experimental techniques, and discusses current research topics. The book is intended for final year undergraduate students and graduate students in the physical sciences.

Written for undergraduates who have knowledge of basic quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, and some atomic physics, this clearly organized text introduces magnetism in condensed matter systems. The chapters are laid out with tables, annotation, and some of the figures incorporated into the wide outside margins. Lists of reading and exercises conclude each chapter but the last, which is devoted to new topics and unanswered problems in the field.

This book has grown out of a course of lectures given to third and fourth year undergraduates at Oxford University who have chosen a condensed matter physics option. There was an obvious need for a text which treated the fundamentals but also provided background material and additional topics which could not be covered in the lectures. The aim was to produce a book which presented the subject as a coherent whole, provided useful and interesting source material, and might be fun to read.

The book also forms part of the Oxford Master Series in Condensed Matter Physics; the other volumes of the series cover electronic properties, optical properties, superconductivity, structure and soft condensed matter. The prerequisites for this book are knowledge of basic quantum mechanics and electromagnetism and a familiarity with some results from atomic physics. These are summarized in appendices for easy access for the reader and to present a standardized notation.

Author describes some of the subtle and complex effects which can occur when competing magnetic interactions are present and/or the system has a reduced dimensionality. These topics are the subject of intense research activity and there are many outstanding questions which remain to be resolved. Throughout the text, author discusses properties and applications to demonstrate the implications of all these ideas for real materials, including ferrites, permanent magnets and also the physics behind various magneto-optical and magnetoresistance effects which have become of enormous technological importance in recent years.

This is a book for physicists and therefore the emphasis is on the clear physical principles of quantum mechanics, symmetry, and electromagnetism which underlie the whole field. However this is not just a 'theory book' but attempts to relate the subject to real measurements and experimental techniques which are currently used by experimental physicists and to bridge the gulf between the principles of elementary undergraduate physics and the topics of current research interest.

A Student's Guide to Maxwell's Equations, Daniel Fleisch

A Student's Guide to Maxwell's Equations PDF Download Ebook. Daniel Fleisch shows how Maxwell's equations may be combined to produce the wave equation, the basis for the electromagnetic theory of light. This book is a wonderful resource for undergraduate and graduate courses in electromagnetism and electromagnetics.

Gauss's law for electric fields, Gauss's law for magnetic fields, Faraday's law, and the Ampere-Maxwell law are four of the most influential equations in science. In this guide for students, each equation is the subject of an entire chapter, with detailed, plain-language explanations of the physical meaning of each symbol in the equation, for both the integral and differential forms.

A website hosted by the author at www.cambridge.org/9780521701471 contains interactive solutions to every problem in the text as well as audio podcasts to walk students through each chapter. This text provides a thorough overview of Maxwell's equations with stunning clarity. Each equation is broken down into component parts, and the physical significance of each part is thoroughly explained.

Also of note are the problem sets at the end of each chapter. The problems work very well to reinforce the concepts from each chapter. They are not overly difficult or too simplistic. They are geared specifically at reinforcing concepts. The author has also posted on his web site a set of solutions for every problem, and each of the problems is thoroughly worked out with clear explanations. This is a HUGE plus for anyone picking up this book for self-study.

This book offers complete discussion to an electromagnetism or a vector calculus class (or as a review after having taken such a class). Although the writing is clear enough that one could probably get a lot even without having had a vector calculus class, ideally one would have had at least some minimal exposure to vector calculus. It's not that you need to be an expert in vector calculus; all the concepts are explained very well in the book and the actual calculus you need for solving the problems is minimal, but in my mind the book will work best for those with some exposure to vector calculus.

Theory of Simple Liquids 3rd Edition, Hansen and McDonald

Theory of Simple Liquids 3rd Edition PDF Download Ebook. Jean-Pierre Hansen and I.R. McDonald provide cutting-edge research in the principles of liquid-state theory. It includes frequent comparisons of theoretical predictions with experimental and simulation data.

This text is suitable for researchers and post-graduates in the field of condensed matter science (Physics, Chemistry, Material Science), biophysics as well as those in the oil industry. It is an updated, advanced, but self-contained introduction to the principles of liquid-state theory. It presents the modern, molecular theory of the structural, thermodynamic interfacial and dynamical properties of the liquid phase of materials constituted of atoms, small molecules or ions.

This book leans on concepts and methods form classical Statistical Mechanics in which theoretical predictions are systematically compared with experimental data and results from numerical simulations. The overall layout of the book is similar to that of the previous two editions however, there are considerable changes in emphasis and several key additions.

Although there has been a shift in emphasis towards more complex systems, there remains in our view a place for a book that deals with the principles of liquid-state theory, covering both statics and dynamics. Thus, in preparing a third edition, we have resisted the temptation to broaden too far the scope of the book, and the focus remains firmly on simple systems, though many of the methods we describe continue to find a wider range of application.

Nonetheless, some reorganization of the book has been required in order to give proper weight to more recent developments. The most obvious change is in the space devoted to the theory of inhomogeneous fluids, an area in which considerable progress has been made since 1986. Other major additions are sections on the properties of supercooled liquids, which include a discussion of the mode-coupling theory of the kinetic glass transition, on theories of condensation and freezing and on the electric double layer.

To make way for this and other new material, some sections from the second edition have either been reduced in length or omitted altogether. In particular, we no longer see a need to include a complete chapter on molecular simulation, the publication of several excellent texts on the subject having filled what was previously a serious gap in the literature.

There is up-to-date presentation of modern theories of liquid-vapour coexistence and criticality with areas of considerable present and future interest such as super-cooled liquids and the glass transition. This text also describes the area of liquid metals, which has grown into a mature subject area, now presented as part of the chapter ionic liquids.

Fifty years after Schrodinger's "What is Life?", this book is a worthy installment, since it intensifies the original matter of Schrodinger.

Mae-Wan Ho presents an interconnected system of proposals, experimental results and conjectures which go a large way towards proving an entirely new answer to this question. It is based on research which is mainstream in its theoretical physical foundations, though innovatory in some of its techniques. This makes the book highly important, and if she is right it would be revolutionary.

A voyage of discovery through many areas of contemporary physics from non-equilibrium thermodynamics to quantum optics in order to understand the problem of life, this book offers rare and exquisite view of the organism, giving novel insights, not only into the physics, but also "the poetry and meaning of being alive".

Polymer Physics by M. Rubinstein and Ralph H. Colby

Polymer Physics PDF Download Ebook. M. Rubinstein and Ralph H. Colby describe the fundamental concepts of polymer melts, solutions, and gels in terms of both static structure and dynamics. It goes beyond other introductory polymer texts, deriving the essential tools of the physical polymer chemist or engineer without skipping any steps.

The book is divided into four parts. Part One summarizes the necessary concepts of a first course on polymers and covers the conformations of single polymer chains. Part Two deals with the thermodynamics of polymer solutions and melts, including chain conformations in those states. Part Three applies the concepts of Part Two to the formation and properties of polymer networks. Part Four explains the essential aspects of how polymers move in both melt and solution states.

The book has four main sections. The first part talks about the polymer statics: ideal and real chains and how their size and size dependent properties are characterized. Then it comes thermodynamics of polymer blends and solutions, which includes a discussion on polymer brushes and adsorption of chains. The authors devote the third section to networks and gels and this part includes a very thorough discussion of gelation, rubber elasticity and swelling.

The last section is devoted to the polymer dynamics, where chain models and polymer relaxation ideas are developed and discussed. The last two sections of the book cover topics which are of immense current interest, and have had original and critical contributions from the authors.

The text assumes a working knowledge of calculus, physics, and chemistry, but no prior knowledge of polymers. It is ideal for upper-level undergraduate and first-year graduate courses in Condensed Matter Physics, Soft Materials, and Polymers. Judging by its clear style, its selection of topics, or its self contained material, it is an extremely well thought out, thorough, and completely laudable book in every way. This is a book worth reading.

College Physics 9th Edition, Raymond Serway and Vuille

College Physics 9th Edition PDF Download Ebook. Raymond A. Serway and Chris Vuille offer clear strategy for connecting those theories to a consistent problem-solving approach, carefully reinforcing this methodology throughout the text and connecting it to real-world examples. For students planning to take the MCAT exam, the text includes exclusive test prep and review tools to help you prepare.

While physics can seem challenging, its true quality is the sheer simplicity of fundamental physical theories--theories and concepts that can enrich your view of the world around you. Authors have reviewed all the worked examples, made improvements, and added or revised many end-of-Example Questions and Exercises. The questions usually require a conceptual response or determination, but they also include estimates requiring knowledge of the relationships between concepts.

The answers for the Example Questions can be found at the back of the book. At the end of each chapter, there are approximately ten to fifteen conceptual questions. The Applying Physics examples presented in the text serve as models for students when conceptual questions are assigned and show how the concepts can be applied to understanding the physical world. The conceptual questions provide the student with a means of self-testing the concepts presented in the chapter. Some conceptual questions are appropriate for initiating classroom discussions. Answers to odd-numbered conceptual questions are included in the answer section at the end of the book and in the Student Solutions Manual/Study Guide, and answers to all questions are found in the Instructor's Solutions Manual.

A general problem-solving strategy to be followed by the student is outlined at the end of Chapter 1. This strategy provides students with a structured process for solving problems. In most chapters more specific strategies and suggestions (see example below) are included for solving the types of problems featured in both the worked examples and the end-of-chapter problems. This feature helps students identify the essential steps in solving problems and increases their skills as problem solvers.

This book contains a special Skill-Building Appendix (Appendix E) to help premed students prepare for the MCAT exam. The appendix contains examples written by the text authors that help students build conceptual and quantitative skills. These skill-building examples are followed by MCAT-style questions written by test prep experts to make sure students are ready to solve the exam.

Many chapters include sections and problems that are intended to expose the student to various practical and interesting applications of physical principles. Topics and problems dealing with the application of physics to the life sciences are identified by a bio icon to help motivate students to master the content.

Physics Principles with Applications 6th Edition, Giancoli

Physics: Principles with Applications 6th Edition PDF Download Ebook. Douglas C. Giancoli offers the careful exposition and precision of previous editions with many interesting new applications and carefully crafted new pedagogy. It was written to give students the basic concepts of physics in a manner that is accessible and clear.

The goal is for students to view the world through eyes that know physics. Worked Examples have all been rewritten to include Approach and Note steps. “Approach” steps help students understand the reasoning behind the method used to solve the problem and answer their questions of "how/where do I start?" “Note” section remarks on the solution itself, mentions an application, or gives an alternate approach to solving the problem.

Free-body diagrams are emphasized with 2 ½ pages reserved for the description, practice and implementation of this important skill. Problem Solving Boxes are found throughout the book (see p.xiii for a list of them). Each box outlines a step-by-step approach to get students thinking about and involved in the problem at hand.

Step-by-Step examples: After most Problem Solving boxes, the next Example is done step-by-step following the steps of the preceding Problem Solving box to show students how this tool can be used. Each is a brief Socratic question intended to stimulate student response before reading the response given. Estimating examples develop skills for making order-of-magnitude estimates, even when data is scarce, or when you might never have guessed any result was possible.

Page Layout and formatting was a key focus of this revision, even more than in the previous edition. Great effort was made to keep important derivations and arguments on facing pages so students do not have to flip pages to continue derivations or locate key figures referenced in the text.

Vector arrows over bold face letters denoting a vector, in text and in art provide consistency with the way students write them in homework and professors write them on the board. Exercises within the chapter give students a chance to check their understanding before they proceed to other topics. Answers are given at the end of each chapter.

Photonic Crystals: Molding the Flow of Light 2nd Edition

Photonic Crystals: Molding the Flow of Light 2nd Edition PDF Download Ebook. John D. Joannopoulos, Steven G. Johnson, Joshua N. Winn and Robert D. Meade offer elegant full-color illustrations and is superbly produced. This has to be applauded in an era dominated by low-resolution digital images. This text is certainly pitched at a post third-year quantum mechanics, electromagnetism and solid-state physics level in the Australian context and is ideally suited to study at an Honours or a Masters level.

Since it was first published in 1995, Photonic Crystals has remained the definitive text for both undergraduates and researchers on photonic band-gap materials and their use in controlling the propagation of light. This newly expanded and revised edition covers the latest developments in the field, providing the most up-to-date, concise, and comprehensive book available on these novel materials and their applications.

Starting from Maxwell's equations and Fourier analysis, the authors develop the theoretical tools of photonics using principles of linear algebra and symmetry, emphasizing analogies with traditional solid-state physics and quantum theory. They then investigate the unique phenomena that take place within photonic crystals at defect sites and surfaces, from one to three dimensions.

This new edition includes entirely new chapters describing important hybrid structures that use band gaps or periodicity only in some directions: periodic waveguides, photonic-crystal slabs, and photonic-crystal fibers. The authors demonstrate how the capabilities of photonic crystals to localize light can be put to work in devices such as filters and splitters. A new appendix provides an overview of computational methods for electromagnetism.

Existing chapters have been considerably updated and expanded to include many new three-dimensional photonic crystals, an extensive tutorial on device design using temporal coupled-mode theory, discussions of diffraction and refraction at crystal interfaces, and more. Richly illustrated and accessibly written, Photonic Crystals is an indispensable resource for students and researchers.
