Infos

This book focuses on bulk and nanostructure crystals, and specifically discusses possible crystal lattices, their reciprocal lattices, and the Bragg relation for determining crystal structure. It describes band theory in independent electron approximation using the usual perturbation quantum theory, as well as how the internal electric field of the lattice periodic potential affects degenerate states at the Brillouin zone boundaries by using the Stark effect, which leads to energy bands separated by energy gaps. The book also discusses low-dimensional systems and nanostructures using the free electron model and tight binding model. The band structure and wave function of graphene, graphene nanoribbons, single-wall carbon nanotubes, and double-wall carbon nanotubes are obtained. Additionally, nanostructure vibrations are discussed.This text is for graduate and undergraduate students, as well as researchers who are interested in working on different condensed matter physics subjects. We use simple methods to introduce and explain the initial concepts of crystal structure physics to undergraduate students.
