固体物理学是一个极其广泛的领域。这个领域充满了令人着迷的物理效应，其中许多都有实际应用。这些效应的理论描述可以变得非常复杂，事实上，理论固态物理是一个非常活跃的研究领域。正在审阅的这本书提供了理论固体物理学的介绍，特别关注多体理论。其他现代研究方向，如理论半导体物理或量子光学，则完全被忽视。通过专注于多体效应，作者可以比其他情况下更详细地讨论这个主题，事实上，在掌握这本教科书后，从事这一领域工作的研究生应该能够理解大量当前的研究文献，并从他的论文项目开始。这本书非常仔细地撰写、排版和插图。每一章都以动机部分开始，将材料放在更大的背景下，以重复主要发现的总结部分结束。重要的方程式在方框中突出显示。在每一章的末尾，有几个练习帮助读者更熟悉这个问题，一些参考文献将引导读者阅读原始的研究文献。我认为作者对这些材料的处理是一次完全的教育成功。他花了很大力气把这件复杂的事
Solid state physics is an extremely broad area. The field abounds with fascinating physical effects, many of which have practical applications. The theoretical description of these effects can become very sophisticated, and in fact theoretical solid state physics is a very active research area. The book under review provides an introduction to theoretical solid state physics with a particular focus on many-body theory. Other modern research directions such as theoretical semiconductor physics or quantum optics are completely neglected. By concentrating on many-body effects, the author can treat the subject in greater detail than would be possible otherwise, and indeed after mastering this textbook, a graduate student working in this area should be able to understand a great deal of the current research literature and start with his thesis project.The book is very carefully written, typeset and illustrated. Every chapter starts with a motivation section that puts the material into a bigger context and ends with a summary section that repeats the major findings. Important equations are highlighted in boxes. At the end of each chapter, a couple of exercises help the reader to become more familiar with the matter, and a number of references guide the reader to the original research literature. I consider the author’s treatment of the material a complete didactic success. He puts lots of effort in making the complicated
