Lecture 1: A quick review of solid state physics
Chi-Feng Pai [email protected]
What you’ve might already learned…
• Crystal structures of solids
• Phenomenological models of thermal and electrical transport in materials
• Concept of band structure
• Insulators, conductors, and semiconductors
• Concept of magnetism in solids
But in reality…
• What if the materials are NOT crystalline?
• Do we really understand their microscopic origins?
• Does band theory always work?
• What about superconductors and other exotic materials?
• Magnetism and other transport properties?
Outline of this course
• Quick review of basic solid state physics • Second quantization of fermions • Electron-electron interaction • Hubbard model • Mott insulator and localization • Second quantization of bosons • Electron-phonon interaction • Bose-Einstein condensation • Superconductor • BCS theory • Mesoscopic transport • Quantum Hall effect
