Preface
This textbook had its origin in several courses taught for two decades (1965– 1985) at Brown University by one of the authors (JJQ). The original assigned text for the first semester course was the classic “Introduction to Solid State Physics” by C. Kittel. Many topics not covered in that text were included in subsequent semesters because of their importance in research during the 1960s through the 1980s. A number of the topics covered were first introduced in a course on “Many Body Theory of Metals” given by JJQ as a Visiting Lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania in 1961–1962, and later included in a course at Purdue University when he was a Visiting Professor (1964–1965). A sojourn into academic administration in 1984 removed JJQ from teaching for 8 years. On returning to a full time teaching–research professorship at the University of Tennessee, he again offered a 1 year graduate course in Solid State Physics. The course was structured so that the first semester (roughly the first half of the text) introduced all the essential concepts for students who wanted exposure to solid state physics. The first semester could cover topics from the first nine chapters. The second semester covered a selection of more advanced topics for students intending to do research in this field. One of the co-authors (KSY) took this course in Solid State Physics as a PhD student at Brown University. He added to and improved the lecture while teaching the subject at Pus
