本書1999年初版，2003、2008年重印，旨在將固態(tài)物理學(xué)的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)入門教材和講述其發(fā)展的專著之間架起一座橋梁。從最基本的磁性理論問(wèn)題開始，到相對(duì)基礎(chǔ)的專題，如重費(fèi)米子，Mott過(guò)渡，量子磁性。盡管這部教材相對(duì)比較理論，但并沒(méi)有假定讀者具備一定的理論知識(shí)，也討論一些實(shí)驗(yàn)發(fā)現(xiàn)。自始至終有問(wèn)題相伴，并給出了詳細(xì)解答。 目次：導(dǎo)論；原子、離子和分子；晶體場(chǎng)論；Mott過(guò)渡和Hubbard模型；Mott絕緣體；Heisenberg磁體；巡游電子磁性；Hubbard模型中的鐵磁性；Gutzwiller變分法；關(guān)聯(lián)金屬態(tài)；混合價(jià)和重費(fèi)米子；量子霍爾效應(yīng)。 讀者對(duì)象：物理、理論物理專業(yè)的研究生和科研人員。
