　　This book is a text for a graduate course in material science， condensed matter physics， or solid state physics. The student is expected to have taken previous courses in quantum mechanics and electromagnetic theory. No prior knowledge or course in condensed matter physics is required.
　　The earlier chapters introduce basic concepts， such as crystal structures， energy-band theory， phonons， and types of crystal binding. Intermediate chapters discuss the basic features of transport and optical properties of solids. later chapters discuss current research topics， such as magnetism， superconductivity， and nanoscience. There is an extensive treatment of metals， from the viewpoints of free electrons， tight binding， and strong correlations. There is an extensive discussion of semiconductors， from the viewpoints of both intrinsic， and then extrinsic properties. A11 chapters except the first have homework problems. These problems have been worked by a generation of students.
