Solid State Physics
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-319-73998-4 (ISBN)
This book provides the basis for a two-semester graduate course on solid-state physics. The first half presents all the knowledge necessary for a one-semester survey of solid-state physics, but in greater depth than most introductory solid state physics courses. The second half includes most of the important research over the past half-century, covering both the fundamental principles and most recent advances. This new edition includes the latest developments in the treatment of strongly interacting two-dimensional electrons and discusses the generalization from small to larger systems.
The book provides explanations in a class-tested tutorial style, and each chapter includes problems reviewing key concepts and calculations. The updated exercises and solutions enable students to become familiar with contemporary research activities, such as the electronic properties of massless fermions in graphene and topological insulators.
John J. Quinn is a well-known theoretical physicist as well as an academic administrator; he is a former Chancellor and a professor emeritus since 2015 at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, USA. He is an expert in the areas of solid-state physics and many-body theory including two dimensional Composite fermions, low-dimensional systems, quantum Hall effect and nanoscience. Quinn was also one of the first researchers to recognize that physics of 'two-dimensional electronic systems' needs to be treated as a professional-sub-specialty. He has been an active researcher and have published over 350 scientific publications. Quinn earned his doctoral in Physics from the University of Maryland in USA. His doctoral research at Maryland was in "Self-Energy Approach to Correlations in a Degenerate Electron Gas" under the supervision of Professor R.A. Ferrell. After finishing his Ph.D.in 1958, Quinn joined the technical staff at RCA Laboratories. From there he held visiting positions at the University of Pennsylvania and Purdue University before joining the physics faculty at Brown University in 1965 till 1989. From 1989 -1992 Quinn was the Chancellor of the University of Tennessee; where he has held the Willis Lincoln Chair of Excellence, Professor of Physics and Professor of Engineering Science and Mechanics from 1992-2015. He is a co-author of Solid State Physics (Springer, 2009) with Kyung-Soo Yi. Quinn is a recipient of many honours, including:
Part I.- Crystal Structures.- Lattice Vibrations.- Free Electron Theory of Metals.- Elements of Band Theory.- Use of Elementary Group Theory in Calculating Band Structure.- More Band Theory and the Semi-classical Approximation.- Semiconductors.- Dielectric Properties of Solids.- Magnetism in Solids.- Part II.- Magnetic Ordering and Spin Waves.- Many Body Interactions: Introduction.- Many Body Interactions: Green's Function Method.- Semi-classical Theory of Electrons.- Electrodynamics of Metals.- Superconductivity.- The Fractional Quantum Hall Effect: The Paradigm for Strongly Interacting Systems.- Correlation Diagrams: An Intuitive Approach to Interactions in Quantum Hall Systems.
