Solid State Textbook for Computational Solid-State Physics?

AI Thread Summary
Graduate students seeking to learn computational solid-state physics are looking for textbooks that cover the subject alongside the time-dependent semiconductor Bloch equations. Recommended texts include "Computational Solid State Physics: An Introduction" by Ronald Melrose and "Computer Simulation of Condensed Phases in Complex Geometries" by Denis Ullmo. Other notable suggestions are "Computational Methods for Electron-Phonon Interactions" by Dario Alfe and "Computational Quantum Mechanics for Materials Engineers" by Kai Nordlund. Additionally, "Computational Solid State Physics: From First Principles to Finite Temperatures" by Giuseppe Senatore and "Introduction to Computational Solid State Physics" by Richard Martin are also mentioned. These resources provide a solid foundation for understanding computational approaches in solid-state physics.

I'm a graduate student and am interested in learning computational solid-state physics.

Ideally, I'd like a textbook which covers solid-state physics and the time-dependent semiconductor Bloch equations from a computational perspective.

Does anybody have any suggestions?

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...
I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
