Quantum Solid-State Physics by Serghey V Vonsovsky
This book treats the major problems of the quantum physics of solids, ranging from fundamental concepts to topical issues. Rather than use a deductive method of exposition, the authors consider and analyze simple empirically established properties of solids and employ more complicated models only as the need arises. Detailed treatment is given of classical problems such as chemical bonding in crystals, the one-dimensional Schrodinger equation with a periodic potential, the metal-insulator criterion, and the quantum theory of band electron motion in external fields. Consideration is also given to topical problems such as neutron scattering by the crystal lattice, plasma and Fermi liquid effects, the theory of disordered systems, and the polaron. The reader is expected to know only the fundamentals of quantum mechanics and statistical physics. Compared with the Russian edition (Nauka, Moscow 1983), the book has been substantially revised and enlarged, new sections have been written and recent results have been incorporated.-

Katsnelson, Mikhail I.: - Mikhail Katsnelson is a Professor and head of the Theory of Condensed Matter group at the Institute for Molecules and Materials, Radboud University, in The Netherlands. His fields of expertise are magnetism, electronic structure and quantum many-body theory and after the discovery of graphene, he became one of the leaders in this new field. Professor Katsnelson is the author of several books including Quantum Solid State Physics (with S. V. Vonsovsky, Springer, 1989) and has been awarded a Russian State Prize for young researchers. He has also been honoured with royal decoration as a Knight of the Order of the Dutch Lion.
