Descripción

Solid State Physics, Third Edition provides timely coverage of the most important scientific breakthroughs of the last decade. The book 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.

Alessandro Cresti

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.

Giuseppe Pastori Parravicini

Giuseppe Pastori Parravicini graduated in Physics at the University of Milan in 1963, then moved to the Physics Institute of the University of Pisa where he taught Solid State Physics for more than two decades. From 1990 he moved as full professor to the Department of physics of the University of Pavia where he taught until 2011. Giuseppe Pastori Parravicini has made original contributions in many areas of theoretical Solid State Physics. Among them are the study of lamellar compounds, the theory of symmetries for the classification of electronic states, the electron-phonon interaction, nonlinear optical spectroscopy, many-body effects in excited states in atoms, molecules and solids, quantum transport using the non-equilibrium Keldysh function.
