If you understand a bit of material science stuff, you'll probably
enjoy reading this:
Tan, Y. T. 1989. Silver halides in photography, MRS Bulletin, May
1989. 13--40.
Also, for the process of latent image formation, etc.
Hamilton, J. F. 1988. The silver halide photographic process. Advances
in Physics, 37, 359--441.
Tani, T. 1995. Photographic sensitivity. (Oxford series in optical and
imaging sciences, vol 8.) New York: Oxford University Press.
But these are highly specialized publication, I have to warn you.
For more easy introduction to science of photography in general, I
highly recommend:
Mitchell, E. N. 1984. Photographic science. (I think it was from Wiley)
This book was written as a textbook for a general science elective
course at an undergrad level. The author is an expert in silver halide
physics. It's out of print but there are many used copies circulating
at $20 or less.
