This book contains advanced subjects in solid state physics with
emphasis on the theoretical exposition of various physical
phenomena in solids using quantum theory, hence entitled "A modern
course in the quantum theory of solids". The use of the adjective
"modern" in the title is to reflect the fact that some of the new
developments in condensed matter physics have been included in the
book. The new developments contained in the book are mainly in
experimental methods (inelastic neutron scattering and
photoemission spectroscopy), in magnetic properties of solids (the
itinerant magnetism, the superexchange, the Hubbard model, and
giant and colossal magnetoresistance), and in optical properties of
solids (Raman scattering). Besides the new developments, the
Green's function method used in many-body physics and the
strong-coupling theory of superconductivity are also expounded in
great detail.
