Questions/problems for Solid State Physics I

Click For Summary
Recommendations for sources of questions and solutions for Solid State Physics I courses include exploring various university websites, particularly for past exams. The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) offers a collection of exams and solutions in English, accessible despite the site being in Norwegian. The terms "Løsningsforslag" and "Oppgave" indicate suggested solutions and exam exercises, respectively. Many other universities may also provide public access to their exams. Utilizing these resources can greatly aid in understanding topics from crystal structures to semiconductors.

Can anyone please recommend sources for questions and problems with soultions related to Solid State Physics I course.

For all range of topics from crystal structures up to semiconductors introduction (by Kittel).

Thank you.

I would personally recommend visiting different universities' websites for exams. For instance, here is a list of some exams at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU): http://home.phys.ntnu.no/instdef/arkiv/eksamen/tfy4220/ for an introductory course on solid state physics, using Kittel's book.

OBS! The site is in Norwegian, but easy to navigate all the same. All exams and solutions are in English [pdf]!
"Løsningsforslag" means "Suggested Solution"
"Oppgave" means "Exam (exercises)"

I bet there are multiple other universities having their exams out public. Hope this helps somehow.

Thread 'Ramjet effect on drone'

I am following someone on Youtube who has built a rocket shaped (4 proprllers) drone for the world speed record ... He was having problems with internal heat from electical control gear and battery inside the sealed rocket (about 1kw waste heat) Speed is 500km/hr , I suggested a 4mm hole in the tip of the nose and 8mm hole at rear which should alow sufficient air cooling .. I said this will increase thrust because the air exiting is hotter .. a bit similar to a ram jet ... was I correct...

Thread 'Why would an atmosphere without greenhouse gasses be colder than with them?'

Quick question that I haven't been able to find the answer to. Greenhouse gasses both warm and cool the atmosphere by slowing heat loss to space. But what would happen without GHGs? I read that the earth would be colder (though still relatively warm), but why? Without GHGs the atmosphere would still be a similar mass and still warmed by conduction from the surface, yet without a means to radiate that heat to space. Why wouldn't the atmosphere accumulate heat over time, becoming warmer? How...
