This textbook, now in its third edition, provides a formative
introduction to the structure of matter that will serve as a sound
basis for students proceeding to more complex courses, thus
bridging the gap between elementary physics and topics pertaining
to research activities. The focus is deliberately limited to key
concepts of atoms, molecules and solids, examining the basic
structural aspects without paying detailed attention to the related
properties. For many topics the aim has been to start from the
beginning and to guide the reader to the threshold of advanced
research. This edition includes four new chapters dealing with
relevant phases of solid matter (magnetic, electric and
superconductive) and the related phase transitions. The book is
based on a mixture of theory and solved problems that are
integrated into the formal presentation of the arguments. Readers
will find it invaluable in enabling them to acquire basic knowledge
in the wide and wonderful field of condensed matter and to
understand how phenomenological properties originate from the
microscopic, quantum features of nature.
