PHY1487H: Quantum Theory of Solids I

Introduction to the physics of solids and their electronic and thermal properties. Topics include crystal structure and symmetry, X-ray and neutron diffraction, electronic band structure, lattice vibrations and phonons. Selected advanced topics such as electron interactions and anharmonic effects will be also covered. A good understanding of undergraduate quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics is expected.
