9. The contents of solid state physics: atomic structures and electron structure
Difference from atomic physics: collective properties of solids made of large number of atoms? properties of Single atom or molecule ?
atomic structure: the arranging style, interaction types, vibration behavior for atoms
electron structure ：electron distribution, moving,
For example：armorphous carbon, graphite, diamond, graphene, carbon nanotube
J.Bardeen(Noble laureate): atomic structure and electron structure were used to study various properties of solids in solid state physics

10. Difference from conventional physics
Theoretical mechanics:
mechanical movements of rigid body
Electrodynamics:
electromagnetic radiation dynamics
thermodynamics:& statistical physics:
thermophysics and statistical law
Quantum mechanics:
moving law governed microscopically
Solid state physics :
Comprehensive discipline based on the above disciplines

11. Development history of solid state physics
1, X ray diffraction of crystals was found by Laue 1912
2, the development of quantum theory supplied a lot for the interpretation of solid
3, heat capacity theory by Einstein (1907) and Debye (1912) and Doulong-Petit’s law
4, Lattice dynamics theory by Born and Karman (1912)
5, quantum electron theory modified using Fermi statistics by Sommerfeld (1928)
6, the concept of energy band by Bloch (1928)
7, the conductivity of semiconductor by Wilson (1931)
8, Modern Theory of Solids, Seitz F, McGraw-Hill 1940, the foundation of independent discipline of solid state physics

12. Characteristics of Solid state physics
