The aim of the course is to provide students with basic knowledge of solid state physics, including the basics of crystallography, diffraction methods for determining the crystal structure, the problem of the electron in periodic potential, band structure, selected issues in physics of metals, semiconductors, magnetism and superconductivity.
General physics
1. Crystal lattices, the classification of Bravais lattices and crystal structures.
2. Reciprocal lattice, diffraction methods to determine the crystal structure (Laue condition, Bragg equation, Brillouin zones, geometric structural factor).
3. An electron in a periodic potential, the Bloch theorem, band structures
4. Crystals in harmonic approximation (classical and quantum description), dispersive relations, normal modes
5.Selected specific topics: superfluidity and superconductivity.
