Modern Physics Concepts and Applications

Modern Physics: Concepts and Applications introduces the fundamental concepts pertaining to the basic topics of relativity, quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics along with the important sub-fields of physics, namely, atomic, nuclear and solid state physics. The technologically-important topics of superconductivity and optoelectronics, lasers and nanoparticles also are introduced to a reasonable extent. The introduction of latest applications, alongwith already established ones, particularly those based on x-rays, lasers, radioactivity and condensed matter form a key feature of the book. Supported by 106 figures, 14 tables and about 100 solved problems, this text-book will be useful for students taking up modern physics.
