The book begins with a brief review of some basic principles of crystalline solid state physics and chemistry. The topics covered in the main part of the book include: disordered crystalline solids, including macroscopic defects, incommensurate phases, low dimensional systems (correlated electrons), heavily doped and compensated semiconductors, ternary semiconductors and metals, quasi crystals, and disordered molecular crystals (inorganic and organic); and amorphous solids (inorganic and organic), including structure and models of structure, electronic structure, vibrational properties, optical properties, electron phonon interactions, defects, magnetic properties, and superconductors.
