I have found plenty of study materials, notes and links on Classical Mechanics and Quantum Mechanics. However I could not found any forum on this site that provides study materials of solid state physics. So please if you have got the link, please post it in here.

Ashcroft, Mermin - Solid State Physics
We referred mainly to (the 1st half of) this book for our intro CMP course.

Kittel - Introduction to Solid State Physics
Lots of people suggest this one, though I found only certain parts well explained.

Others include Ibach & Luth and Christman.
All these books contain two semesters worth of material.
