    "abstract": "Einstein is usually revered as the father of special and general relativity.\nIn this article I demonstrate that he is also the father of Solid State\nPhysics, or even his broader version known as Condensed Matter Physics\n(including liquids). His 1907 article on the specific heat of solids\nintroduces, for the first time, the effect of lattice vibrations on the\nthermodynamic properties of crystals, in particular the specific heat. His 1905\narticle on the photoelectric effect and photoluminescence opened the fields of\nphotoelectron spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy. Other important\nachievements include Bose-Einstein condensation and the Einstein relation\nbetween the difussion coefficient an mobility. In this article I discuss\nEinstein\u0027s papers relevant to these topics and their relevance to modern day\ncondensed matter physics.",
