Foundations of Solid State Physics

Foundations of Solid State Physics: Dimensionality and Symmetry, 1st Edition, is a textbook that introduces core solid state physics through the conceptual perspective of symmetry and spatial dimension.

The volume addresses fundamental principles including static and dynamic lattices in real space, reciprocal lattice representations, electrons in solids, and transport behavior in materials and devices. It also covers advanced areas such as quasi-particle excitations, strong electron correlation, spin systems, and light-matter interactions.

Written in an accessible, conversational style with minimal mathematics, the text includes end-of-chapter problems of varying difficulty. It is designed for students, lecturers, and researchers in physics, chemistry, and materials science.
