Spring 2019

Syllabus:

Solid-State Physics: An Introduction to Principles of Materials Science (2009) Authors: Ibach, Harald, Lüth, Hans

Publishers (Springer) website for textbook and (PDF) table of contents

There are some earlier editions (1991 and 1996) with subtitles Solid State Physics: An introduction to Theory and Experiment, if you check the table of contents, they are similar, but please try to obtain the latest edition. The third edition (2003) in particular had many changes from the earlier, both added sections, in the chapters, and revised versions of earlier sections. (e.g., the 1st edition is about 2/3 of the pages of the 4th edition). The 4th edition in paperback is relatively inexpensive (compared to many physics textbooks and monographs!)
