Solid State Physics in a Nutshell: Week 5.1 Introduction to Phonons

First semester solid state physics short videos produced by the Colorado School of Mines. Referenced to Kittel's 8th edition.

Thanks so much for making this. You saved me on my last exam.

[@mrw9527]

Really nice, but also extremly fast.

[@David-xq3bg]

I like it! So easy to rewind and pause

[@brunogiora25]

Agreed, too fast for an "introduction"

[@gavins3129]

Wow! :) I haven't seen physics videos for explaining solid state! :) Thank You!

[@sebastiandiazmarulanda3919]

nice, now I really understand phonons

[@urty4395]

You guys are amazing!

[@vannguyennaviahdik]

thanks, much better to understand !

[@behrooz__1213]

tnx, it was much better than kittel i hope god keep this vidoes going

Shock velocity in Eulerian and Lagrangian frames

[@markusjackson4830]

At 4:34, the a on the end of two, does the stand for angstrom? or am i being delusional and you've already explained what that is. Is a the displacement wave of the particle shown at 3:54?

[@TejaDhanekula]

a is the interatomic spacing

[@pancreasman6920]

what about Phonons though?

[@joeschaep]

in eqauation 4.6 a is the distance between atoms? this comes from X_n - X_n-1?

[@RyanGoutbeck]

From my understanding its the sum in displacement between (Xn-1)-(Xn) AND (Xn)-(Xn+1) ... 4 years later lmao

[@Xxhangman4everxX]

How do you get equation 4.9?

[@anasofiamarulanda5548]

This is amazing and it def saved me for my final exam but its sooo fast i had to slow it down :(

[@erictoberer4874]

Happy to help, recommend closed captioning! Also, it's designed to be watched twice, once for qualitative content, and then once again worry about the math (that's why it's so fast). Glad you found it useful! Eric

Me: freaking out rn cuz im giving a presentation on debye model of solid also me: 👁👄👁

[@kratzeni]

Too rushed, please take more time or else it's nearly impossible to understand. These videos are sadly only useful to get back into the material but not if you are learning it the first time.

The sexual tension here is unbearable
