The second edition of this successful textbook provides an
up-to-date account of the optical physics of solid state materials.
The basic principles of absorption, reflection, luminescence, and
light scattering are covered for a wide range of materials,
including insulators, semiconductors and metals. The text starts
with a review of classical optics, and then moves on to the
treatment of optical transition rates by quantum theory. In
addition to the traditional discussion of crystalline materials,
glasses and molecular solids are also covered.
The first edition included a number of subjects that are not
normally covered in standard texts, notably semiconductor quantum
wells, molecular materials, vibronic solid state lasers, and
nonlinear optics. The basic structure of the second edition is
unchanged, but all of the chapters have been updated and improved.
Futhermore, a number of important new topics have been added,
including:
DT Optical control of spin
DT Quantum dots
DT Plasmonics
DT Negative refraction
DT Carbon nanostructures (graphene, nanotubes and fullerenes)
DT NV centres in diamond
The text is aimed at final year undergraduates, masters students
and researchers. It is mainly written for physicists, but might
also be useful for electrical engineers, materials scientists and
physical chemists. The topics are written in a clear tutorial style
with worked examples, chapter summaries and exercises.
