Solid State Physics: An Introduction to Theory presents an intermediate quantum approach to the properties of solids. Through this lens, the text explores different properties, such as lattice, electronic, elastic, thermal, dielectric, magnetic, semiconducting, superconducting and optical and transport properties, along with the structure of crystalline solids. The work presents the general theory for most of the properties of crystalline solids, along with the results for one-, two- and three-dimensional solids in particular cases. It also includes a brief description of emerging topics, such as the quantum hall effect and high superconductivity. Building from fundamental principles and requiring only a minimal mathematical background, the book includes illustrative images and solved problems in all chapters to support student understanding. - Provides an introduction to recent topics, such as the quantum hall effect, high-superconductivity and nanomaterials - Utilizes the Dirac' notation to highlight the physics contained in the mathematics in an appropriate and succinct manner - Includes many figures and solved problems throughout all chapters to provide a deeper understanding for students - Offers topics of particular interest to engineering students, such as elasticity in solids, dislocations, polymers, point defects and nanomaterials

Since the introduction of quantum mechanics, the general theory of solid state physics has developed very rapidly. To date, a number of good textbooks on general solid state physics have been written. However, research in solid state physics has become highly specialized and undertaken in narrow fields. There is thus a great need for elementary textbooks that deal in detail with the study of solids in a particular field in order to give students basic knowledge in that field. Metallic solids with an impurity, generally called alloys, are of immense importance from both fundamental and technological points of view. The pioneering work of Bloember gen and Rowland (1953) gave considerable impetus to the study of the electronic structure of metallic alloys. Serious theoretical study in this field started in 1960 and, during the last two decades, considerable success in understanding the electronic structure of simple metal alloys has been achieved. Nonetheless the theoretical study of dilute alloys of transition metals is still in its infancy. At present there are few review articles and original research papers that examine the role of an impurity with respect to the electronic structure and properties of metallic alloys. Because of the absence of an elementary textbook that presents a comprehensive account of different aspects of the electronic structure of metallic alloys, I have written this elementary textbook on the theory of the electronic structure of metallic alloys.
We Got Independence Not Yesterday But A Long Long Time Ago. Once Upon A Time The British Ruled Us. Today The Bureaucrats And Politicians Are The Custodians Of Our Well-Being. The Author Has Spend Almost Four Decades Of His Life As A Part Of A Stagnant System. This Book Is A Narrative Of A Few Days Of His Post-Retirement Life. He Has Allowed The Dust And The Rust Of Politics Merely A Superficial Touch On His Being. The Subconscious Depths, The Absence Of Fear, And Having Convictions And Also The Strength To Stand By Them Perhaps Were A Few Of His Personality Traits Which Could Prevent The Unconscious Daily Accretion Of Self Destructive Corrosion. Every Individual Is A Unit. Ten Units Join To Form Tens . Ten Tens Make A Hundred And A Hundred Hundreds A Thousand ...A Population Emerges... But The Fundamental Unit Is Still One Individual. If The Author Being Just One Such Unit Could Withstand The Negative Charges Of The Political And Administrative Pressures, Why Cannot We, In Our Unit Capicities, Stand Against Our Visionless Selfish Custodians? His Experiences And Reflections Provide And Insight Of Our Hollow Governing System. The Author, In His Typical Lucid, Amusing But Informative, Direct Manner, Has Penned Down The X-Ray Of Our Political Leaders And Administration. The Diagnosis Is Precise. Both The Prevention And Cure Are In Our Hands. He Has Provided A Stimulus But Would We Was Respond From Our Deep Slumber?
