Solid-State Physics II (PHZ 6426)

Course Announcement:

Solid-State Physics II will be offered in the fall; the prerequisite is Solid-State Physics I or equivalent preparation. (Some familiarity with Fermi surfaces and band theory is assumed but not necessarily mastery of every detail in Ashcroft and Mermin or Kittel). The class meets Wednesdays and Fridays from 12:55 to 14:10.

The course will survey three topics:

  1. Magnetism in matter
  2. Superconductivity
