The Materials Engineer’s Guide to Kittel: Why "Introduction to Solid State Physics" is Still the Bible
Unlocking the electronic and magnetic behavior of materials, one PDF at a time. Kittel explains why the sign of the Hall
Here is why every Materials Engineer needs this book (and where to ethically find the digital version). As materials engineers, we learn the Hall Effect exists. Kittel explains why the sign of the Hall coefficient tells you if you are dealing with electrons or "holes." We learn about ferromagnetism . Kittel explains the exchange integral and why iron loses its magnetism above the Curie temperature. And yes, the PDF version of this text
For decades, the gateway to this knowledge has been Charles Kittel’s Introduction to Solid State Physics . And yes, the PDF version of this text has saved countless engineering students during late-night study sessions. we learn the Hall Effect exists.
That’s where enters the chat.
