Solid State Physics, Third Edition is a textbook tailored to students of physics, material science, chemistry, and engineering. It is a state-of-the-art presentation of the theoretical foundations and application of the quantum structure of matter and materials. This third edition revision provides timely coverage of the most important scientific breakthroughs of the last decade. It helps build readers' understanding of the newest advances in condensed matter physics with rigorous yet clear mathematical explanations. Comprehensive examples and chapter appendices are an integral part of the text, carefully designed to apply the fundamental principles illustrated in the text to currently active research topics. Fundamental concepts and recent advances in the field, including basic elements useful for understanding the electron behavior in nanostructures, are explained in tutorial style and organized in an intuitive manner. The book contains new content on topics including the in-depth presentation of Green’s function approach to simulate electron transport in nanostructures and expanded material on the description of nanoscale systems. The authors introduce the non-equilibrium Green’s function formalism and demonstrate its relation to the microscopic quantum transport of electrons, as well as the role of contacts, gates and disorder in realistic devices. This revised textbook is a basic reference work for students, researchers, and lecturers in any area of solid-state physics.

Über Autor(innen)

Grosso, Giuseppe
Giuseppe Grosso graduated in Physics at the University of Pisa in 1972 and PhD from the Scuola Normale Superiore in 1977, He is a retired full professor of Solid State Physics at the Physics Department of Pisa. The main research topics addressed concern electronic and optical properties of perfect 3D and nanostructured solids, Green’s function, recursion and renormalization methods, continued fractions coherent transport, Keldysh formalism, conjugated polymers and molecular crystals, silicon and germanium based photonics.

Cresti, Alessandro
Alessandro Cresti graduated with a degree in Physics from the University of Pisa in 2001. He obtained his PhD from the same university in 2006 under the supervision of Prof. Grosso and in collaboration with Prof. Pastori. Since 2011, he has been a CNRS researcher at the CROMA laboratory in Grenoble, working on quantum simulation of electron transport in structures and devices based on two-dimensional materials, using the Green's function formalism.
