Overview

This text focuses on the electronic structure and properties of solids. It covers covalent semiconductors, ionic insulators, simple metals and transition-metal and f-shell-metal systems. The main focus of the text is on the most important aspects of each system, making what approximations are necessary in order to proceed analytically and obtain formulae for the properties. In spite of the diversity of systems and materials, the approach to electronic structure is systematic and coherent, combining the tight-binding (or atomic) picture with the pseudopotential (or free-electron) picture. This provides the parameters and conceptual bases for estimating the various properties of all of these systems. The book is written as a textbook, with problems at the end of each chapter.
