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 majors.  The author’s goal from the beginning has been to write a book that is accessible to undergraduate 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.

Product description

From the Publisher

Charles Kittel did his undergraduate work in physics at M.I.T and at the Cavendish Laboratory of Cambridge University. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin. He worked in the solid state group at Bell Laboratories, along with Bardeen and Shockley, leaving to start the theoretical solid state physics group at Berkeley in 1951. His research has been largely in magnetism and in semiconductors. In magnetism he developed the theories of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic resonance and the theory of single ferromagnetic domains, and extended the Bloch theory of magnons. In semiconductor physics he participated in the first cyclotron and plasma resonance experiments and extended the results to the theory of impurity states and to electron-hole drops.

He has been awarded three Guggenheim fellowships, the Oliver Buckley Prize for Solid State Physics, and, for contributions to teaching, the Oersted Medal of the American Association of Physics Teachers, He is a member of the National Academy of Science and of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Bible of Solid State Physics
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 March 2021
    Verified Purchase
    Known simply as 'Kittel' in the solid state physics community, this book is essential reading for anyone studying the field. Unlike its main rival, Ashcroft and Mermin, Kittel has been updated over the years with numerous editions and remains easy to read and highly relevant.

    It is definitely an 'introduction' in the sense that many advanced topics are not covered. (For these the reader should look to the more advanced literature.) However, the topics it does cover are essential knowledge for a student of condensed matter, and the exposition of the subject is clear and insightful.

    I am in the second year of my PhD and my only wish is that I had picked up this book much sooner!

    It have some mistakes but it's a good book for beginners, you need a basic understanding in physics and it's not a book anyone can use fully.
