An introduction to condensed matter physics for the nanosciences The book provides an accessible introduction to the principles of condensed matter physics with a focus on the nanosciences and device technologies. The basics of electronic phononic photonic superconducting optics quantum optics and magnetic properties are explored and nanoscience and device materials are incorporated throughout the chapters. Many examples of the fundamental principles of condensed matter physics are taken directly from nanoscience and device applications. This book requires a background in electrodynamics quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics at the undergraduate level. It will be a valuable reference for advanced undergraduates and graduate students of physics engineering and applied mathematics
