Condensed Matter Physics : Crystals, Liquids, Liquid Crystals, and Polymers by Gert R. Strobl

Derived from lectures?at the University of Freiburg, this textbook introduces?solid-state physics as well as the physics of liquids, liquid crystals and polymers. The five?chapters deal with the?key characteristics?of condensed matter: structures, susceptibilities, molecular fields, currents, and dynamics. The author strives to?present and explain coherently?the terms and concepts associated with the main properties and characteristics of condensed matter, while minimizing?attention to?extraneous?details. As a result, this text provides?the?firm and broad?basis of?understanding that?readers require?for further study and research.
