Solid State Which Introductory Solid State Physics Book from Springer is Best?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around finding a suitable introductory textbook on Solid State Physics from Springer, with a budget constraint of $200. The user is familiar with notable texts like Kittel, Ashcroft, and Simon but seeks recommendations specifically from Springer. Several suggestions are provided, including "Solid State Physics, Principles and Modern Applications" by John J. Quinn and Kyung-Soo Yi, which is noted for its second edition status. Additional recommendations include works by Patterson and Bailey, Ibach and Luth, Madelung, and Huebener, all of which are accessible through Springer Link. The user expresses gratitude for the suggestions and plans to explore these options further.

I have the opportunity to get a Springer book for free, provided that it is cheaper than 200$. I am considering an introductory one about Solid State Physics, but I have never heard about a valid one from Springer (I know about Kittel, Ashcroft and Simon only). Do you have any suggestion?

Thank you very much!

Just search via Springer Link:

There are of course very many books about condensed-matter/solid-state physics from this publisher.
 
Thank you vanhees71. I know there are tons of solid state physics book published by Springer; I was looking for a recommendation for a particularly valid one. Thank you anyway!
 
Well, I'm not so familiar with condensed-matter physics and the literature. My favorite is Altland's textbook but that's not published by Springer.
 
Here’s one

It’s made it to second edition which is a good sign. Notice that you can download the front matter.

Madelung

This one seems like a companion book.

Thank you very much, I'll take a look to all of them!
 
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...
