Overview
- Comprehensive treatment of electronic structure of and transport in solids including nanostructures
- Includes a historical perspective on the evolution of quantum theory and how it has shaped our knowledge of electrons in crystals
- Rigorous mathematical development is supplemented by numerical and computational methodologies which convey a practical understanding of the challenges and successes of using quantum mechanics for real world applications
- Exercises for students, based on homework problems assigned by the authors, and suggested reading will be included
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
