Fundamentals of the Physics of Solids

The reader is holding the ?rst volume of a three-volume textbook on sol- state physics. This book is the outgrowth of the courses I have taught for many years at Eötvös University, Budapest, for undergraduate and graduate students under the titles Solid-State Physics and Modern Solid-State Physics. The main motivation for the publication of my lecture notes as a book was that none of the truly numerous textbooks covered all those areas that I felt should be included in a multi-semester course. Especially, if the course strives to present solid-state physics in a uni?ed structure, and aims at d- cussing not only classic chapters of the subject matter but also (in more or less detail) problems that are of great interest for today's researcher as well. Besides, the book presents a much larger material than what can be covered in a two- or three-semester course. In the ?rst part of the ?rst volume the analysis of crystal symmetries and structure goes into details that certainly cannot be included in a usual course on solid-state physics. The same applies, among others, to the discussion of the methods used in the determination of band structure,the properties of Fermi liquids and non-Fermiliquids, andthe theory of unconventional superconductors in the second and third volumes. These parts canbe assignedas supplementary reading for interested students, or can be discussed in advanced courses.

From the reviews:
"This first volume ... focuses on crystal structure and lattice dynamics. ... provides a substantial amount of theoretical material at an advanced graduate level. ... There is more material here than can be covered in a single semester, and this book is more detailed than the well-known books ... . This volume would be most attractive for a one- or even two-semester advanced graduate course, and is a desirable reference work anywhere condensed matter/solid state/materials research is conducted. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students through professionals." (M. C. Ogilvie, CHOICE, Vol. 45 (11), 2008)
"This is the first volume of three textbooks used by author to teach a two or three semester solid-state physics course at Eötvös University in Budapest. ... We found the text very self-explanatory, very student friendly, and highly useful. ... In conclusion, this first volume is an excellent textbook that we recommend for a solid-state physics course ... . Many students and solid-state research fellows will find it easy to learn from this book even without help from a professor." (Fernande Grandjean and Gary J. Long, Belgian Physical Society Magazine, Issue (1), March, 2009)
