Condensed Matter Physics I & II, WS 2015/16 & SS 2016

Prof. Dr. Markus Grüninger

 

Comprehensive introduction to the basic principles of solid-state physics and to some experimental methods. Examples of current research will be discussed. The entire course (I and II) covers the following topics: crystal structure and binding, reciprocal space, lattice dynamics and thermal properties, electronic structure (free-electron gas, Fermi surface, band structure), semiconductors and metals, transport, magnetism, superconductivity, optical properties and screening, correlated electrons.
