If your slides look like they were made in 1995, students will disconnect. An updated PPT deck uses (like Python visualizations of Brillouin zones).
Treating electrons as a gas trapped in a box.
: Begin with Crystal Structure (Chapter 1) and Wave Diffraction/Reciprocal Lattices (Chapter 2). Highlight the periodic array of atoms and the use of the Bragg law.
Kittel’s text is the map, but the updated PPT is the GPS. It guides you through the complex terrain of reciprocal space, Brillouin zones, and spin-orbit coupling with clarity and modern relevance. Start your search today with the legitimate sources listed above, and you will master solid state physics faster than you thought possible.
