This book focuses on bulk and nanostructure crystals, and specifically discusses possible crystal lattices, their reciprocal lattices, and the Bragg relation for determining crystal structure. It describes band theory in independent electron approximation using the usual perturbation quantum theory, as well as how the internal electric field of the lattice periodic potential affects degenerate states at the Brillouin zone boundaries by using the Stark effect, which leads to energy bands separated by energy gaps. The book also discusses low-dimensional systems and nanostructures using the free electron model and tight binding model. The band structure and wave function of graphene, graphene nanoribbons, single-wall carbon nanotubes, and double-wall carbon nanotubes are obtained. Additionally, nanostructure vibrations are discussed.

This text is for graduate and undergraduate students, as well as researchers who are interested in working on different condensed matter physics subjects. We use simple methods to introduce and explain the initial concepts of crystal structure physics to undergraduate students.

Rostam Moradian graduated from Bristol University (UK) with a degree in Condensed Matter Physics in 2001. As a member of the physics department of Razi University (Iran), his research is in many areas of condensed matter physics such as superconductivity, alloys, strongly correlated systems, and nanostructures. He has taught advanced quantum mechanics, condensed matter physics, superconductivity, and nanostructures courses for post-graduate physics students, as well as all undergraduate physics courses.

Chinedu E. Ekuma, a faculty member of the physics department at Lehigh University (USA), earned his doctoral degree in computational physics from Louisiana State University (USA) in 2015. His research centers on predictive material modeling, employing machine learning and data-driven approaches for designing and discovering new materials. He specializes in strongly correlated materials, including two-dimensional materials, nanostructures, and topological materials, with a focus on the impact of defects and interactions. His findings have been featured in prominent journals such as Physical Review Letters. Ekuma teaches a range of courses, from quantum mechanics to modern physics, for both graduate and undergraduate students.
