Questions/problems for Solid State Physics I

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on sourcing questions and solutions for a Solid State Physics I course, specifically covering topics from crystal structures to the introduction of semiconductors as outlined in Kittel's textbook. A recommended resource is the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), which provides access to past exams and solutions in English, despite the website being in Norwegian. The terms "Løsningsforslag" and "Oppgave" are highlighted as meaning "Suggested Solution" and "Exam (exercises)" respectively, facilitating navigation for English-speaking users.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with Solid State Physics concepts, particularly crystal structures and semiconductors.
  • Understanding of Kittel's "Introduction to Solid State Physics" textbook.
  • Basic navigation skills for academic websites.
  • Knowledge of exam formats and problem-solving techniques in physics.
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore additional university websites for Solid State Physics exam archives.
  • Review Kittel's textbook for deeper insights into crystal structures and semiconductors.
  • Investigate online forums or platforms that compile physics problems and solutions.
  • Learn about the latest research and developments in Solid State Physics through academic journals.
USEFUL FOR

Students and educators in physics, particularly those studying or teaching Solid State Physics I, as well as anyone seeking to enhance their problem-solving skills in this field.

Physics news on Phys.org
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.
