82.Seitz F, The Modern Theory of Solids, McGraw-Hill Book Company, New York, 1940. This is still probably the most complete book on the properties of solids, but it may be out of date in certain sections.
83.Seitz F, and Turnbull D (eds) (these are the original editors, later volumes have other editors), Solid State Physics Advances in Research and Applications, Academic Press, New York. Several volumes; a continuing series. This series provides excellent detailed reviews of many topics.
84.Shive JN, Physics of Solid State Electronics, Charles E. Merrill Books, Columbus, Ohio, 1966. An undergraduate level presentation of some of the solid state topics of interest to electrical engineers.
85.Shockley W, Electrons and Holes in Semiconductors, D. van Nostrand Company, Princeton, New Jersey, 1950. An applied point of view.
86.Slater JC, Quantum Theory of Matter, McGraw-Hill Book Company, New York, 1951, also 2nd edn, 1968. Good for physical insight.
87.Slater JC, Atomic Structure, Vols. I, II, McGraw-Hill Book Company, New York, 1960.
88.Slater JC, Quantum Theory of Molecules and Solids, Vol. I, Electronic Structure of Molecules, McGraw-Hill Book Company, New York, 1963.
89.Slater JC, Quantum Theory of Molecules and Solids, Vol. II, Symmetry and Energy Bands in Crystals, McGraw-Hill Book Company, New York, 1965.
90.Slater JC, Quantum Theory of Molecules and Solids, Vol. 111, Insulators, Semiconductors, and Metals, McGraw-Hill Book Company, New York, 1967. The titles of these books [87 through 90] are self-descriptive. They are all good books. With the advent of computers, Slater’s ideas have gained in prominence.
91.Slichter CP, Principles of Magnetic Resonance with Examples from Solid State Physics, Harper and Row Publishers, New York, 1963. This is a special topic but the book is very good and it has many transparent applications of quantum mechanics. Also, see 3rd edn, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 1980.
92.Smart JS, Effective Field Theories of Magnetism, W. B. Saunders Company, Philadelphia, 1966. A good summary of Weiss field theory and its generalizations.
93.Smith RA, Wave Mechanics of Crystalline Solids, John Wiley and Sons, New York, 1961. Among other things, this book has some good sections on onedimensional lattice vibrations.
94.Van Vleck JH, Theory of Electric and Magnetic Susceptibilities, Oxford University Press, New York, 1932. Old, but still very useful.
95.Wannier GH, Elements of Solid State Theory, Cambridge University Press, New York, 1959. Has novel points of view on many topics.
96.Weinreich G, Solids: Elementary Theory for Advanced Students, John Wiley and Sons, New York, 1965. The title is descriptive of the book. The preface states that the book’s “purpose is to give the reader some feeling for what solid state physics is all about, rather than to cover any appreciable fraction” of the theory of solids.
97.Wilson AH, The Theory of Metals, Cambridge University Press, New York, 1954, 2nd edn. This book gives an excellent, detailed account of the quasi-free electron picture of metals and its application to transport properties.
98.Wood EA, Crystals and Light, D. van Nostrand Company, Princeton, New Jersey, 1964. An elementary viewpoint of this subject.
