Periodic Table for solid state physicists

In summary, the conversation is about finding a free periodic table that is specifically tailored for the needs of solid state research, such as offering lattice constants, crystal structures, and other data. The idea of using websites like www.webelements.com or creating a personalized poster with the information from Ashcroft and Mermin's book is suggested. However, the original poster is still looking for a poster version of the table similar to the one in Ashcroft and Mermin's book.

Does anyone here know of a free periodic table (downloadable/printable) geared towards the needs of solid state? More specifically a table offering Lattice constants/crystallization systems, Mean Debye Temperatures etc. Ideally it would be a perfect copy of the periodic table featured by Ashcroft and Mermin's "Solid State physics". (And yes I have considered scanning that table but the output is not satisfactory for large dimension prints) .

Thanks in advance for your input!

I wonder if you were able to find such a table. I've been looking for this for a long time and no success. Let me know if you did. Thanks!

Thanks for the note. I've seen the webelements.com but I'm looking for a poster to install in the lab. I googled many posters, but none has the info on lattice constant and crystal structure, or I couldn't find any. It would be very helpful in a solid state lab to have a poster version of the table similar to that in Ashcroft and Mermin's book.

get any old poster of the periodic table and then write in the information from ashcroft and mermin's periodic table on your poster with a magic marker.

or, how about making a copy of A+M's table and then taking it to kinkos and blowing it up.

i wonder if you can find Ashcroft's book of electric version, and print the periodic table of it.
 

FAQ: Periodic Table for solid state physicists

1. What is the Periodic Table for solid state physicists?

The Periodic Table for solid state physicists is a tabular arrangement of the chemical elements organized by their atomic structure and properties. It is specifically designed for physicists who study the properties of solid materials.

2. How is the Periodic Table for solid state physicists different from the traditional Periodic Table?

The traditional Periodic Table is based on the organization of elements by their chemical properties, while the Periodic Table for solid state physicists is based on the organization of elements by their electronic structure and bonding properties.

3. What information can be found on the Periodic Table for solid state physicists?

The Periodic Table for solid state physicists includes the atomic number, symbol, atomic mass, and electronic structure of each element. It also indicates the periodic trends in properties such as ionization energy, electronegativity, and atomic radius.

4. How is the Periodic Table for solid state physicists useful for research and experimentation?

The Periodic Table for solid state physicists allows researchers to predict the properties of new materials based on their position on the table. It also helps to identify patterns and trends in the properties of existing materials, aiding in the development of new technologies.

5. Who developed the Periodic Table for solid state physicists?

The Periodic Table for solid state physicists was initially developed by Russian physicist Dmitri Mendeleev in the late 19th century. However, it has been continuously refined and updated by numerous scientists and researchers in the field of solid state physics.
