Any good book on Advanced Laboratory physics?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the search for advanced laboratory physics books that go beyond basic experiments and focus on significant modern physics experiments, such as the Stern-Gerlach experiment. The user, a theoretical physics student specializing in condensed matter physics, expresses a desire to improve their understanding of experimental physics, noting that their classmates lack systematic training in the subject. A suggestion is made for a book by Napolitano, specifically the second edition of "Experiments in Modern Physics," which is confirmed as a relevant resource. The conversation highlights the need for accessible yet comprehensive materials in experimental physics for students transitioning from theoretical studies.

Hi guys,do you have any suggested book on Laboratory physics? I mean something beyond simple freshman experiments such as verify Newton's second law, but still keep general viewpoints, and focus on important experiments in modern physics,for example the S-G experiment of spin magnetic moment.
I’m a student on theoretical physics,mainly study condensed matter physics,after many years study, I found my knowledge on experimental physics is still very poor,I have some classmate on experimental physics and I tried to ask them about this. But they are too technical ,and they learned up everything in their laboratory without any systematic training, they can't help too much.

Napolitano has a nice book on lab physics.

thanks, would you tell me the name of this book? I remember this guy is the author of 2nd edition of J.J Sakurai's Modern quantum mechanics, an experimental physics.
Experiments in modern physics, 2nd ed is it this one?

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
