Solid state / condensed matter physics books

[chikou24i]

Can you give the name of an excited book of solid state / condensed matter physics ( beside kittel and ashcroft ) ? a book than contains more talking about experimental rather than theory

I'm not sure what an "excited book" of SS physics is, but look at the 54-volume series Advances in Solid State Physics in your university library. You will find chapters (sometimes entire volumes) on nearly every topic in SS physics, generally with what were the latest experimental results at the time the chapter was written.

"The Oxford Solid State Basics" by Steven H. Simon is a fantastic book. There are 21 video lectures accompanying the book at https://podcasts.ox.ac.uk/series/oxford-solid-state-basics

But I wouldn't say the book places more emphasis on experiment than theory. They're interwoven nicely. The lecture notes (effectively a draft) that formed the book are available for free here - http://www-thphys.physics.ox.ac.uk/people/SteveSimon/condmat2012/LectureNotes2012.pdf
