Advanced Solid State Physics

The class aims to a fundamental understanding of the solid state physics. In order to realize it, lectures and exercises are complementary performed. In addition, members of the class are required to submit homeworks. As the text book, "Introduction to Solid State Physics" by C. Kittel is used.

1. Crystal binding
2. Lattice vibrations
3. Thermal properties
4. Free electron fermi gas
5. Energy bands
6. Fermisurface and metals
7. Crystal structure and diffraction

Exercise, Homeworks and Final test.
