Other

• Metal-Insulator transition
• Difference between Mott insulator and Anderson localization
• Thomas-Fermi screening
• Other oscillatory B-field effects (Shubnikov-de Haas, de Haas-van Alphen, etc)
• Coulomb blockade

• Janet's PH575 class and see the “Links” page there.
• Cees Harmans' mesoscopic physics notes
• Fundamental constants from NIST (2014 CODATA recommended values)

• Simulations from Cornell University. Drude model shows motion of 8 electrons in crossed E and B fields. Other useful ones are Bloch, Peierls, Ziman
• Good free electron summary.

• Dispersion relations and animations of phonon modes in several different crystals. Also surface phonons.

• I found this discussion of two conducting channels in carbon nanotubes helpful. -Dan
• Localization in SWCNT transport

• W-F law (N.P. Ong, Princeton)

• Chapter 8 of our Kittel text has the very basics you need to know.
• Nice compilation of semiconductor properties from the Ioffe Institute in Russia. m_eff, band gaps, for Si, GaAs and others.
• For II-VI (and other) semiconductors, see the page by D. W. Palmer

• Mott variable range hopping

• Physics Today article on AB effect in normal metal
• Feynman on AB effect

• Schwarzchild PT 1985 Nobel article
• Avron PT 2003 - Physics Today Article on the QHE
• Macdonald's article on the integer QHE and other QHEs phenomena is at quite a high level, but worth looking at because it addresses many of the complexities. Note p197 is misplaced in this version.
• The Marcus group theses have many studies of the QHE and other mesoscopic systems. In particular, I found McClure's thesis helpful.

• Review of magnetic tunnel junctions
• Review of scanning tunneling microscopy with particular reference to Fe-based superconductors by J. Hoffman, Harvard.
