Prerequisites
Quantum mechanics, Physics of Condensed MatterIntended learning outcomes
This course provides an in-depth knowledge in key areas of solid state physics (optical properties, superconductivity, magnetism, dielectrics, surface phenomena). After completing the course students will be able to:
- Describe the interaction between electromagnetic radiation and solid materials and the interaction between electrons and solid materials. Derive and describe models.
- Describe superconductivity and the theory of this phenomenon.
- Describe magnetism (diamagnetism, paramagnetism, ferromagnetism) and describe/derive models that lead to the magnetic susceptibility
- Describe and treat the atomic structure of surfaces from various perspectives (real space, reciprocal space, diffraction)
- Apply the basic theories in the different areas to solve problems
Course content
A theoretical treatment of magnetism in condensed matter and a description of applications of magnetism. An extended description of the mechanisms giving the optical properties of condensed matter. A combined phenomenological and theoretical treatment of superconductivity. A treatment of surfaces .
Teaching and working methods
The course is given in form of lectures which include periods för solving problems. Parts of the course are treated in oral presentations by the students, in smaller groups.
