Solid body physics for engineers. Tutorial

The textbook is a systematic and affordable presentation of the course of solid physics, containing the main elements of physics of the condensed state and its applications to describe the physical properties of solids and processes taking place in them. The book addresses in detail the issues of the structure of crystals and amorphous solids, the types of intermediary ties and their influence on the structure of substances are considered. The main provisions of the theory of oscillations of atoms in a crystal lattice are given, thermal, magnetic and dielectric properties of condensed media are described. The training manual reflects the necessary information from atomic physics and quantum mechanics and, on this basis, the zone theory of solids and electronic processes in them. The main provisions of the theory of superconductivity and phase transitions are considered. The book is written in an accessible language with the involvement of a mathematical apparatus in the volume of university courses in mathematics.
A textbook is designed for students of engineering faculties studying solid physics or its individual sections, and can also be useful to scientists of the areas of science adjacent to physics who want to familiarize themselves with the main provisions and methods of solid physics.
