Periodic Table for solid state physicists

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the need for a specialized periodic table tailored for solid state physicists, specifically one that includes lattice constants, crystallization systems, and Mean Debye Temperatures. Users suggest resources like www.webelements.com for customizable periodic tables, although they express dissatisfaction with the lack of specific data in available posters. Alternatives include creating a periodic table using MS Excel or enlarging a copy from Ashcroft and Mermin's "Solid State Physics" for lab use. The community emphasizes the importance of having a comprehensive reference for solid state research.

Does anyone here know of a free periodic table (downloadable/printable) geared towards the needs of solid state? More specifically a table offering Lattice constants/crystallization systems, Mean Debye Temperatures etc. Ideally it would be a perfect copy of the periodic table featured by Ashcroft and Mermin's "Solid State physics". (And yes I have considered scanning that table but the output is not satisfactory for large dimension prints) .

Thanks in advance for your input!

I wonder if you were able to find such a table. I've been looking for this for a long time and no success. Let me know if you did. Thanks!
 
Thanks for the note. I've seen the webelements.com but I'm looking for a poster to install in the lab. I googled many posters, but none has the info on lattice constant and crystal structure, or I couldn't find any. It would be very helpful in a solid state lab to have a poster version of the table similar to that in Ashcroft and Mermin's book.
 
get any old poster of the periodic table and then write in the information from ashcroft and mermin's periodic table on your poster with a magic marker.

or, how about making a copy of A+M's table and then taking it to kinkos and blowing it up.
 
i wonder if you can find Ashcroft's book of electric version, and print the periodic table of it.
