One of the first books to give a comprehensive and coherent account of the basic methods to characterize a solid through its interaction with an electromagnetic field. The basic theory is focused on the determination of the main parameters of a solid (energy bands, energy levels, effective mass of electrons and holes etc.) from absorption coefficients, scattering data, magneto-optical results etc. The discussion is at an intermediate level and all the formulas are carefully deduced and explained. All types of solid (semiconductors, crystals, metals, etc.) are discussed. The latest experimental results are also presented.
