Solid State Theory Manfred Sigrist

Solid state physics is one of the most active and versatile branches of modern physics that have developed in the wake of the discovery of quantum mechanics. It deals with problems concerning the properties of materials and, more generally, systems with many degrees of freedom, ranging from fundamental questions to technological applications. The topics explained in this pdf include:Introduction, Electrons in the periodic crystal - band structure, Metals, Itinerant electrons in a magnetic field, Landau’s Theory of Fermi Liquids, Transport properties of metals, Magnetism in metals, Magnetism of localized moments.
