  1. Condensed Matter Physics (FYS3410) – Spring 2013 Lecturer:Yuri Galperin, University of Oslo Room: FV105, e-mail: iouri.galperine@fys.uio.no Homepage: www.folk.uio.no/yurig/FYS3410/FYS3410.html Problems: JørnIngeVestgården j.i.vestgarden@smn.uio.no Please send me e-mails containing your names – I will make a list of participants and a mailing list Introduction

  2. Structure of the course and exam • Module 1. Weeks 3-4. Brief introduction to crystalline materials (crystal lattice in real and reciprocal space, X-ray scattering, defects in crystals, diffusion, etc.).  General notion of amorphous solids will also be considered. • Module 2. Weeks 5-6. Statistical and thermal properties of crystalline and solids.  Specific thermodynamic of amorphous solids will also be discussed. • Module 3. Weeks 7-8. Physics of electrons in solids: General concepts (band structure and its consequences, relationship between the crystal structure parameters and energy bands, etc). • Module 4. Weeks 9-10. Electrical properties of solid as a consequence of their band structure (Electrical properties of insulators, metals and semiconductors). Each module will consist of 5 lectures presented on odd weeks and group problem solving (2 hours on odd weeks and 4 hours on even weeks). In addition, for each module, there will be a set of compulsory exercises. They have to be delivered, will be graded and the results will be taken into account along with the results of the oral examination. Oral examination is planned. The total grade will be derived basing on the results of the exam (60%) and the results of compulsory exercises (40%). The date of the exam will be decided later.

  3. Textbooks Main textbook: Introduction to Solid State Physics Charles Kittel Additional reading: Fundamentals of Condensed Matter and Crystalline Physics David L. SidebottomExcellent textbook on basics of condensed matter physics Introduction to Modern Solid State Physics Yuri GalperinLecture note  more focused on theory

  4. Downloaded from the lecture course of B. K. Nikolić

  5. Along this course, we will study mostly crystalline solids Nothing is ideal in this world… Point defects Linear defects (dislocations) Non-crystalline (amorphous) solids are also very important
