PHYS 7635
Solid-State Physics I

Course information provided by the 2019-2020 Catalog.

Survey of the physics of solids: crystal structures, X-ray diffraction, phonons, and electrons. Selected topics from semiconductors, magnetism, superconductivity, disordered materials, topological materials, and mesoscopic physics. The focus is to enable graduate research at the current frontiers of condensed matter physics.  In addition to the course lectures, students are expected to attend either the LASSP/AEP seminar at 12:20 pm on Tuesdays or the weekly research seminar for their home department.  An optional study hall/homework section will be held 2-3 pm on Thursdays.


Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: good undergraduate solid-state physics course (e.g., PHYS 4454), undergraduate statistical mechanics, and familiarity with graduate-level quantum mechanics.

When Offered Fall.
