Condensed Matter Physics

by Michael P. Marder
Condensed Matter Physics
Condensed Matter Physics

A grand tour of matter’s hidden rules

If you like physics that connects elegant theory with what real materials actually do, this feels deeply rewarding. It doesn’t just march through standard topics, it shows how condensed matter physicists think, moving from crystals and semiconductors to quasicrystals, nanostructures, and the quantum Hall effect. Readers who enjoy seeing experiments, unresolved puzzles, and big ideas woven together will find it both rigorous and surprisingly alive.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Condition guide

Book Condition Guide

Books in Like New Condition

This book may contain very minor cosmetic defects, but it is in pristine condition. There should be no yellowing, no foxing, no water damage, and no annotations of any kind on the cover and the pages. For paperbacks, there should not be any crease marks on the spine. This book is good as new — lucky you!

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Books in Very Good Condition

This book has been used, but it is still in a clean condition. There should be no foxing or annotations of any kind on the inner pages, but a sparse amount may be present on the cover, title pages, or outside edges of the book. There should be no water damage of any kind. For paperbacks, there may be light crease marks on the spine.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Books in Good Condition

We do our best to ensure the quality of our books, but there is no escaping the wear and tear that comes with time. Slight foxing and some annotations may be present on the pages and the cover. There should be no water damage of any kind. For paperbacks, there may be several crease marks on the spine.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Books in Well Read Condition

This is a well-read book, which means that the previous owner probably really enjoyed it! The cover and pages may include moderate foxing and annotations, but the text is not obscured and still readable. Moderate cosmetic defects and minor water damage may be present on the edges of the book. For paperbacks, there may be multiple crease marks on the spine.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Description

A modern, unified treatment of condensed matter physics. This book presents for the first time in decades a sweeping review of the whole field of condensed matter physics. It consolidates new and classic topics from disparate sources, teaching not only about the effective masses of electrons in semiconductor crystals and band theory, but also about quasicrystals, dynamics of phase separation, why rubber is more floppy than steel, electron interference in nanometer-sized channels, and the quantum Hall effect. Six major areas are covered: atomic structure, electronic structure, mechanical properties, electron transport, optical properties, and magnetism. Rather than defining the field by materials, the author focuses on how condensed matter physicists approach problems, combining phenomenology and microscopic arguments with experimental information. For graduate students and professionals, researchers and engineers, applied mathematicians and materials scientists, Condensed Matter Physics offers an exciting collection of topics from the past two decades, a thorough treatment of classic topics (band theory, transport theory, and semiconductor physics), over 300 figures—including many images from experiments—frequent comparisons of theory and experiment, more than 50 tables of data and a detailed index, ample end-of-chapter problems including computational exercises, and more than 1,000 references, both recent and historically significant. An Instructor's Manual presenting detailed solutions to all the problems in the book is available from the Wiley editorial department.
