Condensed Matter Physics

# Textbooks

• Ashcroft & Mermin - Solid State Physics
  {???}
  
  
• Kittel - Introduction to Solid State Physics
  The second edition contains a lot more detail than the third (especially in terms of lattice structure) but the latter contains more information on modern CMP such as superconductivity.
  
  
• SO Pillai - Solid State Physics
  Great introduction in terms of the Indian syllabus
  
  
• Omar - Elementary Solid State Physics
  Detailed section of lattice structure
  
  
• Goodstein - States of Matter
  {???}

# Notes and Handouts

• Open Solid State Notes (TU Delft)
  Standard material coverage with interactive graphs
  
  
• Steven Simon - Lecture Notes in Solid State Physics (Oxford)
  Mathematically comparable to the IIT-K course but skips superconductivity and the Kronig-Penny model to discuss magnetism and bonding [Book]
