Many particle wavefunction, symmetrization, Slater determinant, particle number representation. Those having signature from a previous semester will be offered the same grade as was proposed in that previous semester. This can result in a final grade which differs from the one proposed by one unit only. Those who do not accept the grade offered, may take oral exam. Grades are proposed based on the sum of points earned at the two tests: Requirements for signature – besides proper attendance –, both tests should be successful (at least 40% each). If still unsuccessful, there is a third possibility, but special process charge applies. Topics: Fermi liquid, Hartree-Fock approximation, Wigner crystal, Wannier states, Hubbard model.īoth tests can be attempted on the 13th week. test: 12th week (on practice) retake: 13th week. Topics: identical particles, second quantization for bosons and fermions, field operators, phonons, magnons, bosons.Ģ. test: 6th week (on practice) retake: 13th week. Tests during the semester: twice (90 minutes, 40 points each).ġ. Balázs Hetényi (course T1) Īttendance: Presence on at least 50% of the lectures and at least 70% of the practices is required for signature. In this book, we will consider all of these.Lecturer: Dr. One would then typically apply the above to (4) Interactions especially of electrons with phonons, (5) Metals, the Fermi Surface and Alloys, (6) Semiconductors, (7) Magnetism, (8) Superconductivity, (9) Dielectrics and Ferroelectrics, (10) Optical Properties, (11) Defects, and (12) Certain other modern topics such as layered materials, quantum Hall effect, mesoscopics, nanophysics, and soft condensed matter. Just a little less than half of all working physicists are in Condensed Matter.Ī course in Solid State Physics typically begins with three broad areas: (1) How and why atoms bind together to form solids, (2) Lattice Vibrations and Phonons, and (3) Electrons in Solids. Solid State Physics includes many other areas of course among the largest of these are ferromagnetic materials, and superconductors. Most of microelectronics however is limited to the properties of inhomogeneously doped semiconductors. Modern Solid State Physics came of age in the late thirties and forties, and had its most extensive expansion with the development of the transistor, integrated circuits, and microelectronics. Condensed Matter Physics includes liquids and non-crystalline solids such as glass, which we shall not discuss in detail. We have retained the term Solid State Physics, even though Condensed Matter Physics is more commonly used. It is typical that Solid State Physics emphasizes how physics properties link to electronic structure.
In one sense, Solid State Physics is more like chemistry than some other branches of physics because it focuses on common properties of large classes of materials. the electrical, dielectric, magnetic, elastic, and thermal) properties of solids in terms of basic physical laws. One definition of Solid State Physics is it is the study of the physical (e.g. To do this one needs both a good physical and mathematical background.
The objective is to understand, in a basic way, how solid materials behave. Learning Solid State Physics involves a certain degree of maturity, since it involves tying together diverse concepts from many areas of physics.
