SUMMARY

The discussion centers on identifying the best online video courses for solid state physics. Participants recommend a variety of resources, including introductory courses and advanced materials. Notably, Charles Kittel's textbook is favored for its comprehensive coverage, while MIT's course materials are highlighted as valuable for deeper understanding. YouTube is also suggested as a platform for accessing numerous solid state physics lectures, particularly from Indian educators.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic physics concepts
  • Familiarity with solid state physics terminology
  • Access to online educational platforms
  • Ability to navigate academic resources and textbooks
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore MIT's solid state physics course materials at http://web.mit.edu/afs/athena/course/6/6.732/www/texts.html
  • Watch solid state physics lectures on YouTube, specifically searching for "solid state physics"
  • Read Charles Kittel's textbook for a comprehensive introduction and advanced topics
  • Investigate condensed matter physics resources, including the Perimeter Scholars course content
USEFUL FOR

Students and educators in physics, particularly those focusing on solid state and condensed matter physics, as well as anyone seeking structured video resources for learning these subjects.

Hi,

What is the best solid state physics video course available online.

So far the best one i have found is this one .. but it is just introduction to Solid State Physics

You'd really be better off looking for a textbook..
 
I've recently found these lectures. Although I haven't had the time to watch them, they appear to reflect the same material presented in a typical solid state physics course.

I can dig up some lecture notes and other resources if you're interested. Just PM me.
 
Does anybody have a solutions manual for Solid State Physics by Ashcroft and Merlin?
 
I Would suggest getting a textbook, I prefer Charles Kittel. It is an introduction but has more advanced material as well. If you are looking for more advanced material on lecture videos I don't know if you will find any. There are however many websites out there with materials on them for more advanced solid state physics. Here is an MIT course http://web.mit.edu/afs/athena/course/6/6.732/www/texts.html it contains materials from several texts that might be of use to you
 
It isn't video, but if you haven't seen it you must:

Supposedly put together by doctoral student preparing for orals who happened to be a fan.

LOL it says Booble on the side. I've got to start using Booble more often.
