Handouts
- Basic mathematical knowledge reguired in this course. Read for 4/1 class.
- Summary of quantum mechanics used in this course. This is a summary, with just a few examples. Read for 4/1 class.
Articles
- Marvin Cohen's article …
- Roald Hoffmann, How chemistry and physics meet in the solid state, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl. 26 (1987) 846-878 Link via Wiley online Library. Have to access from an osu domain.
(a comprehensive look at the first part of this course from a chemist's perspective)
- Roald Hoffmann, A chemical and theoretical way to look at bonding on surfaces, Rev. Mod. Phys. 60 (1988) 601-628 Link via OSU Library
(beyond the scope of this course, but a nice extension of the above to surfaces)
- FeAs-based superconductors discovered 2008
- Bloch oscillations-optical analogue article in Phys. Rev. Lett. (1996)
- Bloch oscillations-Hartman - general discussion
- graphene as described by Geim in Nature Materials (2007)
- graphene & CNT electronics as described by Avouris in Nature Nanotechnology (2007)
- Graphene & the Dirac Equation Matulis, American Journal of Physics (2009). A more sophisticated approach than we use - nice for physicists.
