This course provides an introduction to the physics of condensed matter for graduate students in physics, chemistry and engineering areas in which materials science is important. Senior undergraduates in physics will also find the course accessible. Topics include the theoretical basis of the electronic structure of solids, viewed from the real-space perspective of the interactions between atoms; the free electron description and physical properties of electrically conducting materials; semiconductors; | This course provides an introduction to the physics of condensed matter for graduate students in physics, chemistry and engineering areas in which materials science is important.
