What do you already know about it?

Are you looking for a first introduction or a more advanced treatment?

The only Solid State physics book that I own and have read (except for condensed matter field theory books) is this one https://podcasts.ox.ac.uk/series/oxford-solid-state-basics as you can see, there is also video lectures available to supplement the book. It is very basic and does not assume anything about the topics in beforehand.

I think it is an ok book but have nothing to compare with. I have not looked at the video lectures. We had Kittles book in my university class but I did not read it.

What are some good condensed matter physics books for beginners?

Some good options for beginners include "Introduction to Solid State Physics" by Charles Kittel, "Solid State Physics" by Neil W. Ashcroft and N. David Mermin, and "Condensed Matter Physics" by Michael P. Marder.

What are some advanced semiconductor physics books for graduate students?

For graduate-level studies, "Semiconductor Physics and Devices" by Donald A. Neamen, "The Physics of Semiconductors" by Marius Grundmann, and "Fundamentals of Semiconductor Physics and Devices" by Rolf E. Hummel are highly recommended.

Are there any textbooks that cover both condensed matter physics and semiconductor physics?

Yes, there are several textbooks that cover both topics, such as "Semiconductor Physics: An Introduction" by Karlheinz Seeger, "Condensed Matter Physics and Materials Science: An Introduction" by John P. McEvoy, and "Condensed Matter Physics" by Michael P. Marder.

Are there any online resources for learning about condensed matter physics and semiconductor physics?

Yes, there are many online resources available such as lecture notes, video lectures, and online courses on platforms like Coursera and edX. Some recommended resources include MIT OpenCourseWare, Khan Academy, and NPTEL.

What are some recommended books for understanding the practical applications of condensed matter physics and semiconductor physics?

For understanding the practical applications, some good books include "Introduction to Semiconductor Physics" by Holger T. Grahn, "Semiconductor Physics and Applications" by M. Balkanski, and "Semiconductor Devices: Basic Principles" by Jasprit Singh.
