SOLID STATE PHYSICS

Solid-state physics is the study of rigid matter, or solids, through methods such as quantum mechanics, crystallography, electromagnetism, and metallurgy. It is the largest branch of condensed matter physics. Thus, solid-state physics forms the theoretical basis of materials science. It also has direct applications in the technology of transistors and semiconductors. Solid-state physics studies how the large-scale properties of solid materials result from their atomic-scale properties. This book emphasizes on the structure and properties of solid materials.
