The second of a three-volume series that aims to deliver a comprehensive account of the vast field of solid-state physics, this book goes far beyond most classic texts in the presentation of the properties of solids and experimentally observed phenomena.
The reader is holding the second 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-Fermi liquids, and the theory of unconventional superconductors in the present and third volumes. These parts can be assigned as supplementary reading for interested students, or can be discussed in advanced courses.

From the reviews:
"The second volume is centered on the highly mobile portion of a solid, the electrons. ... senior students in physics will be able to tutor themselves through reading this volume. The text will also be very useful to a non-specialist in the field of electronic properties or to a research scientist who wants to get a basic introduction to the field. ... second volume of this series lives up to our expectations and will be very useful to students, teachers, and scientists in solid-state physics."
