Overview

Solid state physics, a sub-discipline of condensed matter physics, focuses on the study of the solids and investigates how macroscopic properties of materials arise from their atomic-scale characteristics. Solids consist of atoms that are densely packed together, and the interactions between these atoms determine their various mechanical, electrical, thermal, optical, and magnetic properties. These solids can be broadly classified into crystalline and amorphous solids. Solid state physics employs a diverse range of techniques, including electromagnetism, metallurgy, crystallography, and quantum mechanics. Emerging areas of research in this field include quasicrystals, spin glasses, nanomaterials, two-dimensional materials, and superconductivity. Solid state physics has widespread applications in industries such as consumer electronics, fiber optics, and silicon-based memory technologies. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts in the field of solid state physics. Some of the diverse topics covered in this book address the varied branches that fall under this category. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.
