Condensed Matter 'Problem Books'

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the search for a condensed matter problem book suitable for undergraduate to graduate levels, specifically in solid state physics. The user already possesses "Kittel" and "Ashcroft & Mermin" but seeks a resource akin to "A Guide to Physics Problems" that focuses on problem-solving techniques. Recommendations for specialized books in atomic physics are noted, but the user emphasizes the lack of solid state physics resources. The discussion includes links to potential books that may meet these criteria.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of condensed matter physics concepts
  • Familiarity with solid state physics principles
  • Knowledge of problem-solving techniques in physics
  • Experience with undergraduate-level physics textbooks
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Condensed Matter Physics: A Guide to the Basics" for foundational concepts
  • Explore "Problems and Solutions in Solid State Physics" for practical problem-solving
  • Investigate online resources such as MIT OpenCourseWare for condensed matter physics courses
  • Look into "Quantum Theory of Solids" for advanced solid state physics problems
USEFUL FOR

Students and educators in physics, particularly those focusing on condensed matter and solid state physics, as well as anyone seeking to enhance their problem-solving skills in these areas.

I've been looking for a condensed matter problem book (undergrad to graduate level) to brush up on a lot of things. I have Kittel and Ashcroft & Mermin but was looking for something more along the lines of 'A Guide to Physics Problems' to get right to the heart of problem solving.

I see specialised books in the fields of Atomic Physics but have never stumbled across one in solid state physics.

Perhaps someone here can point me in the right direction (or even online resource).

Thanks.
