The study of many-body problems in solid-state physics is an important branch
of physics, covering a wide range of areas, and it is also the basis of many technical disciplines
including materials science. This article discusses the brief history of the development of
solid state physics, including the initial development history, the study of thermal properties,
Weidmann-Franz law, the study history of the microscopic geometric structure of crystals, the
free electron gas model, the energy band theory of solids, and the The research of solid magnetism,
the information age, the development of solid state physics in China, and the teaching
materials of solid state physics, etc., briefly describe the major events in the development of
solid state physics, and the influential scientists and their contributions.
