Computational Condensed Matter Physics: A Course for Self-Study and the Computer Laboratory [With CD-ROM with FORTRAN 77 Compiler]

This book presents solid-state physics and the computational aspects of the subject. Topics covered include the growth of polymer chains, calculations of band-structure, fractal properties of electronic states, transport electrons and quasicrystals. The enclosed CD-ROM includes a Fortran 77 compiler and source code which can be used to carry out the computations presented in the book.
