Die Wahrheit ist das Kind der Zeit, nicht der Autoritaet. Unsere Unwissenheit ist unendlich, tragen wir einen Kubikmillimeter ab! (from B. Brecht, in "Leben des Galilei")

There is no end to this wonderful world of experimental discovery and mental constructions of reality as new facts become known. That is why physicists have more fun than most people. (Miklos Gyulassy)

Preface

Intended Audience, Approach and Presentation This text is intended for a course of about fifteen weeks for undergraduate students. It arises from the adaptation and the amendments to a text for a full-year course in Structure of Matter, written by one of the authors (A.R.) about thirty years ago. At that time only a few (if any) textbooks having the suited form for introduction to basic quantum properties of atoms, molecules and crystals in a comprehensive and interrelated way, were available. Along the last twenty years many excellent books pursuing the aforementioned aim have been published (some of them are listed at the end of this preface). Still there are reasons, in our opinion, to attempt a further text devoted to the quantum roots of condensed matter properties. A practical aspect in this regard involves the organization of the studies in Physics, after the huge scientific outburst of the various topics of fundamental and technological character in recent decades. In most Universities there is now a first period of three or four years, common to all the students and devoted to elementary aspects, followed by a more advanced program in rather specialized fields of Physics. The difficult task is to provide a common and formative introduction in the first period still suitable as a basis for building up more advanced courses and to bridge the large area between elementary physics and the topics pertaining to research activities. The present attempt towards a readable book, hopefully presenting those desired characteristics, essentially is based on a mixture of simplified institutional theory with solved problems. The hope, in this way, is to provide physical insights, basic culture and motivation, without deteriorating the possibility of more advanced subsequent learning.

Organization Structure of Matter is such a wide field that a first task to undertake is how to confine an introductory text. The present status of that discipline

Preface

represents a key construction of the scientific knowledge, possibly equated only by the unitary description of the electromagnetic phenomena. Even by limiting attention only to the conventional parts of the condensed matter, namely atoms, molecules and crystals, still we are left with an ample field. For instance, semiconductors or superconductors, the electric and magnetic properties of the matter and its interaction with the electromagnetic radiation, the microscopic mechanisms underlying solid-state devices as well as masers and lasers, are to be considered as belonging to the field of structure of matter (without mentioning the "artificial" matter involving systems such as nanostructures, photonic crystals or special materials obtained by subtle manipulations of atoms by means of special techniques). In this text the choice has been to limit the attention to key concepts and to the most typical aspects of atoms (Chapters 1-5) , molecules (Chapters 7-10) and of crystalline solids (Chapters 11-14) , looking at the basic "structural" aspects without dealing with the properties that originate from them. This choice is exemplified by referring to crystals: electronic states and quantum motions of the ions have been described without going into the details regarding the numerous and relevant properties related to these aspects. Only in a few particularly illustrative cases favoring better understanding or comprehensive view, derivation of some related properties has been given (examples are some thermodynamical properties due to nuclear motions in molecules and crystals or some of the electric or magnetic properties). Chapter 6 has the particular aim to lead the reader to an illustrative overview of quantum behaviors of angular momenta and magnetic moments, with an introduction to spin statistics, magnetic resonance and spin motions and a mention to spin thermodynamics, through the description of the adiabatic demagnetization used in order to approach the zero-temperature condition. All along the text emphasis is given to the role of spectroscopic experiments giving access to the quantum properties by means of electromagnetic radiation. In the spirit to limit the attention to key arguments, frequent referring is given to the electric dipole moment and to selection rules, rather than to other aspects of the many experiments of spectroscopic character used to explore the matter at microscopic level. Other unifying concepts present along the text are the ones embedded in statistical physics and thermal excitations, as it is necessary in view of the many-body character of condensed matter in equilibrium with a thermal reservoir.

Prerequisite, appendices and problems Along the text the use of quantum mechanics, although continuous, only involves the basic background that t he reader should have achieved in undergraduate courses. The knowledge in statistical physics is the one based on the Boltzmann, Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein statistical distributions, with the relationships of thermodynamical quantities to the partition function (some of the problems work as proper recall, particularly for the statistical physics of

paramagnets or for the black-body radiation). Finally the reader is assumed to have knowledge of classical electromagnetism and classical Hamiltonian mechanics. Appendices are intended to provide ad hoc recalls, in some cases applied to appropriate systems or to phenomena useful for illustration. The Gaussian cgs emu units are used. The problems should be considered entangled to the formal presentation of the arguments, being designed as an intrinsic part of the pathway the student should move by in order to grasp the key concepts. Some of the problems are simple applications of the equations and in these cases the solutions are only sketched. Other problems are basic building blocks and possibly expansions of the formal description. Then the various steps of the solution are presented in some detail. The aim of the melange intuition-theory-exercises pursued in the text is to favor the acquisition of the basic knowledge in the wide and wonderful field of the condensed matter, emphasizing how phenomenological properties originate from the microscopic, quantum features of the nature. It should be obvious that a book of this size can present only a minute fraction of the present knowledge in the field. If the reader could achieve even an elementary understanding of the atoms, the molecules and the crystals, how they are affected by electric and magnetic fields, how they interact with electromagnetic radiation and respond to thermal excitation, the book will have fulfilled its purpose. The fundamental blocks of the physical world are thought to be the subnuclear elementary particles. However the beauty of the natural world rather originates from the architectural construction of the blocks occurring in the matter. Ortega Y Gasset wrote "If you wish to admire the beauty of a cathedral you have to respect for distance. If you go too close, you just see a brick" . Furthermore, one could claim that the world of condensed matter more easily allows one to achieve a private discovery of phenomena. In this respect let us report what Edward Purcell wrote in his Nobel lecture: "To see the world for a moment as something rich and strange is the private reward of many a discovery" .
