Solid State Physics in a Nutshell: Week 5.4 Phonon density of states

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

This series is honestly saving my grade in this course

[@erictoberer4874]

Ah, this made my morning :) Also, check out people.mines.edu/etoberer/solid-state-physics/ for LaTeX course notes that provide the math a little slower than the videos.

The notes seem very well crafted! Thanks a lot, hoping to find the time to go through them along with other resources :)@@erictoberer4874

Thanks a lot!

[@mikep4216]

You guys do a great job explaining this

[@gustafsonleif]

Thank you for this series, very helpful!
(would be even more so if you could provide a solution for the 2D/3D cases at the end.)

[@consciousness147]

in a way it realy helps that you are both explaining this alternately! (i wonder why :D)

[@tacha299]

awesome! helped a lot... thanks

if I have 10 cells in my 1D crystal (N=10) wouldn't i get 11 unique modes?

there are some absolute values missing for the dispersion relation

Eureka

[@brunoscocozza7531]

Yes, I don't understand a shit either. Maybe you mean this as a summary.... but saying a couple more sentences explaining what you are doing would make it a great course....

this is great if you have the kittel 8th edition next to it to see the in depth material too
