The solid state physics could be one of the most daunting topics in physics and engineering , but destined to be encountered. This book presents all of the topics in undergraduate-level solid state physics in a clear fashion, dense with explanatory or just plain entertaining footnotes, which makes it much more appropriate for beginners than the academia standard Kittel’s “Solid State Physics.” This may be the best introductory book for learning solid state physics. It is certainly the most fun to read. In addition, this book delves deep into the topics related to magnetic materials (not trivial topics as people think), which are often discussed in facile manner in Politecnico’s Physics II (Fisica II) courses.
