固态物理学，延伸到凝聚态物理学，是当今物理学中最活跃的领域之一。因此，任何试图编写涵盖基础知识的入门教科书的作者都必然面临一项艰巨的任务：包括什么内容，在什么层次上，提供多少细节，等等。考虑到现代固体物理学的广度，许多作者更喜欢专注于它的单一方面，例如多体相互作用，磁性或超导性。然而，这些书必然不太适合介绍如此广泛的主题。直到2000年，这本由Ashcroft和Mermin b[1]合著的经典著作还被认为是对这一主题最完整的介绍，但25年后，这本书显然已经过时了。因此，最近出现了一些具有类似报道水平的有价值的继任者。显然，这些也包含了最新的发展，如量子霍尔效应、自旋液体、拓扑绝缘体、高温超导等[2-5]。
Solid-state physics–and, by extension, condensed-matter physics–is one of the most active areas of physics today. Hence, any author trying to write an introductory textbook covering its basics necessarily faces a daunting task: what to include and at what level, how much detail to provide, etc. Considering the breadth of modern solid-state physics, many authors prefer focusing on a single aspect of it, as eg many-body interactions, magnetism or superconductivity. Yet, these books are necessarily less suitable for introducing such a wide-ranging topic. Until 2000, the venerable book by Ashcroft and Mermin [1] was considered as the most complete introduction to the subject, but after 25 years it was clearly showing its age. Hence, more recently, some worthy successors at a similar level of coverage have appeared. Clearly, these comprise also the latest developments, such as the quantum Hall effect, spin liquids, topological insulators, high-temperature superconductivity and so on [2–5].
