For Solid State we have terms and definitions in 4 topics. The topics are Earth Science, Lighting, Music Technology and Transistors.

Solid State (Earth Science)

In metamorphism, indicates the change of mineral identity without melting. All ion migration occurs while the rock (or pre-glacial ice) is still solid.

Solid State (Lighting)

Electronics that use semi-conductor chips and circuitry.

Solid State (Music Technology)

Pertains to the solid qualities of a (usually crystalline) substance. In electronics, this usually means semiconductor materials. In the olden days, when transistors were still slugging it out with valves in amplifiers, radios etc, transistor devices were known as "Solid State" devices, due to their use of semiconductive "solid state" materials.

Solid State (Transistors)

Relating to the properties of solid, usually crystalline, materials including semiconductors. Solid state science is often a mixture of physics, and chemistry, and materials science.
