Physics 732 REFERENCES Spring 2010

Course Text: Giuseppe Grosso and Giuseppe Pastori Parravicini, Solid State Physics, Academic, 2000; 012304460X.

Very recent texts, appearing after selection of course text:

Harald Ibach and Hans Lüth, Solid-State Physics: An Introduction to Principles of Materials Science, 4th  ed., Springer, 2009; pb: 978-3-540-93804-0.

Leonard M. Sander, Advanced Condensed Matter Physics, Cambridge University Press, 2009; 978-0521872904

Physics 731 Course Text: Neil W. Ashcroft and N. David Mermin, Solid State Physics, Saunders College/Holt, Rinehart, and Winston -> Brooks Cole, 1976; ISBN 0030839939, (in my opinion, appallingly overpriced, esp. for a book over 3 decades old; try to find a used or imported copy) I expect students to have a copy of this, or at least access to it, from previous coursework.

Other newer, good texts:
