Solid State

Solid state physics deals with the equations and laws governing rigid matter on an atomic level. Here are a few of the more fundamental problems in Solid state:

  1. Basis and Lattice vectors - Reciprical Lattice and Diffraction solution
  2. Elasticity - Phonons
  3. Free electron Fermi gas - Fermi surface and metals
  4. Energy bands
  5. Dia- and paramagnetism - Ferro- and Antiferromagnetism - Dia- and ferroelectrics
  6. Superconductivity
  7. Plasmons, Polaritons, and Polarons
  8. Optical processes and Excitons
  9. Surface and interface
  10. Noncrystalline solids
