Introduction to Solid State Physics, 8th Edition

· A very important chapter on nanophysics has been  written by an active worker in the field, Professor Paul L. McEuen of Cornell University.  This field is the liveliest addition to solid state science during the past ten years. 

·The crystallographic notation conforms with current usage in physics.  Important equations in the body of the text are repeated in SI and CGS-Gaussian units, where these differ.

· The text uses the simplifications made possible by the wide availability of computer technology.  Searches using keywords on a search engine (such as Google) easily generate many fresh and useful references.
