Typesetting: K+V Fotosatz, Beerfelden Cover design: design & production GmbH, Heidelberg Printed on acid-free paper 56/3m 5 4 3 2 SPIK 11345909 Preface to the Third Edition Our German textbook "Festkorperphysik" has meanwhile appeared in its 6th edition, extensively revised and extended in comparison to the latest 2nd English edition. Presently, the book has been translated into Japanese, Kor ean and Polish and is used as a standard text in many universities around the world. It is therefore high time to carefully revise the English text and bring it up to par with the latest 6th German edition. The sections on "High Temperature Superconductors" as well as Panel XVI on "Shubnikov-de Haas Oscillations and Quantum Hall Effect" are completely revised accord ing to the present deeper understanding of the phenomena. This 3rd English edition has furthermore been expanded by several chapters to meet the edu cational requirements for recent fields of research. We let ourselves be guided by the idea that modern teaching of solid state physics emphasizes aspects of material science and its applications, in particular in solid state electronics. Accordingly, deviations from the ideal periodic solid have gained more weight in the text: we now consider phase diagrams of alloys, some basics of defect physics and amorphous solids. Because of the impor tance of strained layer systems in device physics, inclusion of the funda mentals of crystal elasticity theory seems (again) necessary, so a new chap ter is devoted to this topic. The additional chapter on the excitation spec trum of a superconductor is intended to further the understanding of mod ern research on superconductor/normal conductor interfaces as well as on applications in superconductor electronics. For similar reasons, sections on the metal/semiconductor Schottky-contact and on the basic concepts of im portant semiconductor devices have been included in the new edition. With all of these additions we have tried to maintain the spirit of the book, namely to put the phenomena into a general frame of an atomistically founded understanding of solid state physics. We thank Dr. Klaus Dahmen, Dr. Arno Forster, Dr. Margret Giesen, Dr. Michel Marso, Prof. Dr. Angela Rizzi and Dr. Thomas Schapers for discus sions on special topics and many suggestions for improving the presenta tion. We express our thanks to Dr. H. J. Koelsch, Dr. T. Schneider and Mr. C.-D. Bachem of Springer-Verlag for the pleasant collaboration. Jiilich and Aachen, January 2003 H. Ibach . H. Luth Preface to the Second Edition Our German textbook "Festkorperphysik" has become rather popular among German-speaking students, and is currently produced in its 4th edi tion. Its English version has already been adopted by many universities in the United States and other countries. This new 2nd edition corresponds to the 4th edition in German. In addition to correcting some typographical errors and making small improvements in the presentation, in the present edition some chapters have been revised or extended. Panel V, for example, has been extended to in clude a description of angle-resolved photoemission and its importance for the study of electronic band structures. Section 10.10 on high-temperature superconductors has been completely rewritten. This active field of research continues to progress rapidly and many new results have emerged since the publication of the first edition. These results shed new light on much of the fundamental physics. The new version of Sect. 10.10 has been developed in discussions with colleagues who are themselves engaged in superconductivity research. We thank, in particular, Professor C. Calandra from the University of Modena and Dr. R. Wordenweber of the Institute of Thin Film and Ion Technology at the Research Centre Jiilich. The revision of the problems was done with the help of Dr. W. Daum, Dr. A. Forster, A. Leuther and Ch. Ohler. We would like to thank them for their efforts. We also thank Dr. Margret Giesen for numerous improvements to the manuscript as well as Dr. Angela Lahee for the competent translation of the revised or new sections. 1tilich and Aachen, April 1995 H. Ibach . H. Lath Preface to the First Edition In recent decades solid state physics has seen many dramatic new develop ments and has become one of the largest independent branches of physics. It has simultaneously expanded into many new areas, playing a vital role in fields that were once the domain of the engineering and chemical sciences. A consequence of this explosive development is that no single university lecturer can today be expected to have a detailed knowledge of all aspects of this vast subject; likewise, it is impossible to conceive of a course that could offer students a comprehensive understanding of the entire discipline and its many applications. In view of this situation, it is particularly valuable to have a textbook that gives a concise account of the essential elements of the physics of solids. In this book the fundamental aspects of solid state physics are pre sented according to the scheme: Chemical bonding, structure, lattice dy namics, and electronic properties. We believe that this sequence is the opti mum choice for tutorial purposes. It enables the more difficult concepts to be introduced at a point where a basic understanding of fundamental ideas has already been achieved through the study of simple models and exam ples. In addition to this carefully structured exposition of classical solid state theory based on the periodic solid and the one-electron approximation, the book also includes comprehensive descriptions of the most active areas in modem research: magnetism, superconductivity and semiconductor phys ICS. The chapter on magnetism discusses the exchange coupling of both lo calized and delocalized electrons, and will even guide the reader to the point when he or she can appreciate modem thin-film experiments. The standard picture of superconductivity is elucidated by means of a simplified presentation of BCS theory. A section is also devoted to the novel high temperature superconductors. This field, however, remains in such a state of flux that it was necessary to confine the treatment to some selected ex perimental results and a few central ideas about this fascinating phenome non. The chapter on semiconductors contains, in addition to a general in troduction to these materials and their properties, detailed descriptions of semiconductor heterostructures, superlattices, epitaxy, and the quantum Hall effect. In solid state physics, the interaction between theory and experiment has always played, and continues to play, a vital role. We have thus at tempted throughout this book to steer a middle course in which both theory VIII Preface to the First Edition and experiment are adequately represented. Where a theoretical approach is helpful and not too cumbersome, we have not hesitated in challenging the reader with the necessary abstract concepts. Furthermore, we have tried to include theoretical methods and concepts, for example, those of group the ory, that are indispensible for an understanding of contemporary original publications dealing with solid state theory. The concise presentation of the essential theoretical aspects is comple mented by the inclusion of selected experimental methods and examples, summarized in the form of self-contained panels. These offer the reader the opportunity to test and consolidate the material already studied and may prove helpful in stimulating further study in areas of particular interest. Students will also benefit significantly from working through the exten sive series of problems that relate to each chapter. These examples are not restricted to calculations based on the methods described in the text; in many cases they lead into areas that lie outside the scope of the main pre sentation. All of the examples have been put to the test in our own lecture courses. Nonetheless, the student may often need a helping hand or some preparatory instruction from a lecturer. The problems will be useful to both students and lecturers; they are designed to stimulate further study and to illustrate the connections between different disciplines. This book is a translation of the third edition of the original German text. The authors consider it their immensely good fortune to have been supported by Dr. Angela Lahee in the translation and editing of this work. We are also grateful to numerous colleagues who over the years have of fered valuable suggestions about the presentation of the book or have sup plied the experimental material described herein. For her critical reading of parts of the manuscript and the page proofs we thank in particular Dr. An gela Rizzi. Other valuable contributions were made by Dr. W. Daum, Mr. Ch. Stuhlman, Dr. M. Wuttig and Mr. G. Bogdanyi. The figures were pre pared with great care and patience by Mrs. U. Marx-Birmans and Mr. H. Mattke. The German manuscript was typed by Mrs. D. Kruger, Mrs. Jurss Nysten and Mrs. G. Offermann. We express our thanks to Dr. H. Lotsch and Mr. C.-D. Bachem of Springer-Verlag for the pleasant collaboration. JUlich, January 1991 H. Ibach . H.
