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.
