Solid-state physics
Solid-state physics is the study of rigid matter, or solids, through methods such as quantum mechanicscrystallographyelectromagnetism, and metallurgy. It is the largest branch of condensed matter physics. Solid-state physics studies how the large-scale properties of solid materials result from their atomic-scale properties. Thus, solid-state physics forms a theoretical basis of materials science. It also has direct applications, for example in the technology of transistors and semiconductors.
