About the Book
Updated to reflect recent work in the field, this book has been designed as a textbook for Graduate and Postgraduate students of Physics and Engineers. All the chapters have supplemented by solved and unsolved examples. Some of chapters illustrate areas of current interest in solid state Physics; to give the student a practical working knowledge of the subject Text has been presented in simple and lucid manner that helps student to grasp the subject-matter easily. There is a fair amount of detail in the examples and derivations given in the text.
