PHYS 4510 - Introduction to Solid State Physics

This course will investigate the structural and physical properties of materials by developing better understanding of crystal structure with particular emphasis on studying the electrical and magnetic behavior of solids. The course shows how various types of phenomena (resistivity, magnetism, superconductivity) are related. The main objectives of the course are to increase the students’ understanding and knowledge of solid state physics and to improve their problem solving ability, including the design of experiments which examine principles in condensed matter physics.
