Physics 560 - Spring 2013- Instructor: Taylor Hughes
Condensed Matter Physics
|
Course description: The goal of this course is to set the foundation for future coursework and research in condensed matter physics. We will cover topics such as electronic structure of crystalline systems, metals, semi-conductors, magnetically ordered materials, and possibly more advanced topics such as low-dimensional systems and superconductors. The hope is that this course will lay the conceptual framework needed by all experimentally and theoretically minded students to understand the basics of condensed matter physics. Prerequisite: Phys
427;Phys 580.
