Introductory Solid State Physics: An Emphasis on Magnetism acts as a supplement to students tackling solid state physics at both the undergraduate and graduate level. The BCS theory of superconductivity is not included in undergraduate-level books, because the theory is derived at the graduate level. However, this book uses the equations derived by BCS to calculate the thermodynamic properties of superconductors such as the temperature dependence of the heat capacity using techniques accessible to undergraduates. Also covering topics such as wave diffraction, the essentials of thermodynamics, statistical mechanics and local-moment magnetism, it is useful for those studying solid state physics at any level.Key Features:Includes the BCS theory of superconductivityProvides material that is accessible to students at all levelsApproaches the subject with a particular emphasis on magnetism

David C. Johnston earned his Ph.D. in Solid State Physics from the University of California at San Diego under Prof. Bernd T. Matthias in 1975 and was a research scientist there until 1978. He was a member of the research staff of the Corporate Research Laboratories of the Exxon Research and Engineering Company from 1978 to 1987. He was then a Professor at Iowa State University and a Senior Physicist at Ames Laboratory from 1987 to 2000 and was named a Distinguished Professor in 2000. He is a Fellow and Outstanding Referee of the American Physical Society.
