Diese Einführung in die Festkörperphysik behandelt Experiment und Theorie gleichrangig unter Einschluß der Vielteilchenaspekte. Drei wichtige Forschungsgebiete, Magnetismus, Supraleitung und die Halbleiterphysik werden besonders vertieft. Anhand von Tafeln wird der Leser mit modernen Experimenten und Forschungsgebieten vertraut gemacht, und er kann sein Verständnis des systematischen Textteiles erproben.
Die siebte Auflage der Festkörperphysik bietet eine umfassende Betrachtung theoretischer und experimenteller Aspekte. Überarbeitet und aktualisiert richtet sich das Buch an Studierende der Physik, Materialwissenschaften und Elektrotechnik mit Fokus auf Halbleiterphysik. Übersichtstafeln und Übungen ergänzen den Inhalt.
This new edition of the well-received introduction to solid-state physics provides a comprehensive overview of the basic theoretical and experimental concepts of materials science. Experimental aspects and laboratory details are highlighted in separate panels that enrich text and emphasize recent developments. Notably, new material in the third edition includes sections on important new devices, aspects of non- periodic structures of matter, phase transitions, defects, superconductors and nanostructures. Students will benefit significantly from solving the exercises given at the end of each chapter. This book is intended for university students in physics, materials science and electrical engineering. It has been thoroughly updated to maintain its relevance and usefulness to students and professionals.
Focusing on the practical application of electron energy loss spectroscopy, this book offers a thorough exploration of the electron optics essential for generating intense monochromatic beams and detecting scattered electrons. It presents a detailed three-dimensional analysis of electron emission systems, monochromators, and lens systems, highlighting the importance of component matching. The content is mathematically accessible, prioritizing practical insights and providing guidance for developing computer codes to optimize electrostatic lens elements.
Writing a textbook is a significant endeavor, requiring nearly two years of dedicated effort. My motivation stemmed from three key sources. First, the increasing pressure from our German administration on research institutions to focus on politically mandated five-year plans diverted attention from actual research. The challenge of writing a textbook helped me maintain my integrity as a scientist and provided an escape from this pressure. Second, I aimed to understand transport processes at the solid/electrolyte interface using concepts developed for solid surfaces in vacuum. These concepts create logical links between the properties of individual atoms and larger atomic ensembles, but adapting them to the solid/electrolyte interface proved challenging. A major hurdle was the differing meanings of terms like surface tension in surface physics and electrochemistry, along with the fact that identical quantities often have different names in the two fields. I was motivated by the challenge of bridging these two worlds. Consequently, this volume distinctly addresses surfaces in vacuum and in an electrolyte side-by-side, highlighting their connections. The final source of motivation emerged during the writing process itself.
