Book Details

Solved Problems in Solid State Physics contains more than five hundred solved problems and covers the latest developments in the area of solid state physics, including recent findings on topics including high temperature superconductivity and nanomaterials. The book fuses pedagogical introductions and sections of worked problems to guide students on their physics education journey. Dr. Asokamani has published textbooks on solid physics which incorporate much content on fundamentals and theory, and this book is an expansion on these topics, concentrating fully on worked problems. This will enable students, research scholars, and faculty members to gain a better understanding on the principles involved in various topics and their varied applications. The numerical values provided at the end of the problems will grant them insight into practical applications of real engineering applications. Solved Problems in Solid State Physics contains solved problems, with the multiple choice questions numbering around eight hundred. This book is a culmination of years of teaching and research for more than four decades. Over one hundred books and journals have been referred to in the preparation of this book, and references and resources are clearly stated in each chapter. Problems have been chosen in the areas of solid state physics, material science and metallurgy, and ancillary material provides detailed theory and lectures summarizing the problems.
