This largely revised and updated second edition of the text builds on the strength of the previous edition. It gives a systematic and clear exposition of the fundamental principles of solid state physics. The text covers topics such as crystal structure and chemical bonds, semiconductors, dielectrics, magnetic materials, and superconductors. The most notable feature of the second edition is the inclusion of a separate chapter on 'nanomaterials'. A brief account of the properties and applications of nanomaterials with a short description of the methods used for their synthesis is given. What distinguishes the text is the clarity and precision with which the author discusses the principles of physics, their relations, and their applications. Intended primarily as a text for courses in solid state physics for B.Sc. (Hons.) and M.Sc. students of physics, the book would also be extremely useful to students of electrical/electronics and allied engineering disciplines.
