what is the objectives of solid state physics?
151186
Solid state physics, the largest branch of condensed matter physics, is the study of rigid matter, or solids. The bulk of solid state physics theory and research is focused on crystals, largely because the periodicity of atoms in a crystal — its defining characteristic —facilitates mathematical modeling, and also because crystalline materials often have electrical, magnetic, optical, or mechanical properties that can be exploited for engineering purposes

The study of heat and how it behaves.

It is one of the subjects that is rapidly coming up. The subject requires in-depth knowledge of Physics, Math & some other disciplines. Opportunities of research are excellent, with a wide vareity if options in higher physics, chemistry, bio-medical frontier research, etc. Job prospects r very bright too. But be prepared for a lot of hard work, dedication & sincerity.

It has been many years since I even cracked the book on crystal field theory, but I refreshed myself a bit here:\n\nhttp://www.unine.ch/chim/chw/Chapter%204.html\n\nBasically, the difference in splitting (delta value) decreases as you go down a group and increases by about 50% as you add positive charge on a metal cation. Other factors are covered on that page as well. Thanks for the reminder that I took a graduate inorganic chemistry class once back in the early 90's! I assure you that, at one time, I actually understood it, but I haven't used it in so long...well, you get the picture!\n\nP.S. (I had forgotten that it replaced VB theory, which I was supposed to teach my students but ran out of time!)

Zero Kelvin for a solid would mean that the vibration state will be at quantum number 1/2 - a standing wave resulting in a gaussian distribution of probability of the mass. This means the atom still occupies most of the space it would at higher temperature, only with less deviation from the average position. Going away from the Dalton model to look at the electron cloud, the electrons will be standing waves at the lowest possible vibration stage.\n\nFor two solids to interpenetrate, they would have to have lattices which are spaced in a way that the electrons would not interact with one another. Even though there are certain (mostly hexagonal) lattices which allow regular occurrence of channels, I don't see how these could penetrate since each still occupy 2 3rds of the available diameter.\n\nIf you leave the solid state and go on to Bose-Einstein condensates, penetration of those (acting like standing waves) have been observed, and obey interference laws as if they were electro-magnetic waves.

Its all about mobility.  \n\nHow does the energy (in the form of heat) get transported over the structure?  Lattice vibrations, right?\n\nThe bonds have to deform in order to vibrate, and the higher electronegativity, associated with a higher bond strength, is more resistant to the imposed deformations, and therefore to transporting the heat.\n\nExcept for radiant transport (and thats a factor of T^4) the best conductive insulator or convective insulator is... a vacuum.  No mass means no bucket in which to ship the energy.

Most of these principles are addressed in detail in physics text books.  Perhaps you might try at a local college or high school  library.

A good starting point is wikipedia:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-electron_theory_of_metals\n\nWhen you read this link, follow some of the referenced links for details on the specific applications you listed...\n\nHope this helps!

Say goodbye to matter, I suppose.\n\nWithout electrons (which are negative), all chemical bonds would collapse - so definitley say goodbye to any and all compounds. There goes most materials.  Ditto for chemistry.
