Bf.26: Solid State Physics II (Spring)
Contents This one-semester course deals with the fundamental physics of solids: Metals, insulators and semiconductors. The discussions concern electron theory, Fermi surfaces of metals, transport theory (electrical and thermal conductivity), magnetism, dielectric properties of insulators, ferroelectricity, and defects. Further, an introduction will be given to the rapidly growing field of electronic properties of low-dimensional structures, quantum dots, quantum wires, quantum wells, and superlattices.
Students are assumed to have followed elementary teaching in solid state and statistical physics.
