Noteworthy for the philosophical subtlety of its foundations and the elegance of its problem-solving methods, statistical mechanics can be employed in a broad range of applications — among them, astrophysics, biology, chemistry, nuclear and solid state physics, communications engineering, metallurgy, and mathematics. Geared toward graduate students in physics, this text covers such important topics as stochastic processes and transport theory in order to provide students with a working knowledge of statistical mechanics.To explain the fundamentals of his subject, the author uses the method of ensembles developed by J. Willard Gibbs. Topics include the properties of the Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein distributions; the interrelated subjects of fluctuations, thermal noise, and Brownian movement; and the thermodynamics of irreversible processes.Negative temperature, magnetic energy, density matrix methods, and the Kramers-Kronig causality relations are treated briefly. Most sections include illustrative problems. Appendix. 28 figures. 1 table.

Since the publication of the first edition over 50 years ago, Introduction to Solid State Physics has been the standard solid state physics text for physics students. The author's goal from the beginning has been to write a book that is accessible to undergraduates and consistently teachable. The emphasis in the book has always been on physics rather than formal mathematics. With each new edition, the author has attempted to add important new developments in the field without sacrificing the book's accessibility and teachability. * A very important chapter on nanophysics has been written by an active worker in the field. This field is the liveliest addition to solid state science during the past ten years * 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

Focusing on solid state physics, this comprehensive textbook has been a staple for physics students for over 60 years, emphasizing the principles of physics over formal mathematics. It aims to be accessible for undergraduates while serving as a reliable resource for instructors. Each new edition incorporates significant developments in the field while maintaining the core content. The Global Edition enhances the learning experience with additional problem sets at the end of each chapter, making it an invaluable tool for both students and educators.

Die Thermodynamik wird durch quantenmechanische Konzepte ganz wesentlich vereinfacht. Charles Kittel, bekannt durch sein beliebtes Buch zur Festkörperphysik, und Herbert Krömer, Nobelpreisträger der Physik, haben diesen Weg konsequent beschritten. Schon erste Grundkenntnisse in der Quantenmechanik reichen aus, um den Ausführungen der Autoren zu folgen und weitreichende Ergebnisse für zahlreiche Anwendungen zu finden. Das Buch wendet sich an Physik- und Chemiestudenten sowie an Studenten der Elektrotechnik mit Schwerpunkt Festkörper- oder Quantenelektronik.
