Description:
The module Solid state physics shall enable that students learn a theoretical description of material properties and their relation to basic laws of nature. Listeners should master the scope of knowledge related to materials electron structure, thermal properties, magnetism and magnetic and dielectric properties, transport phenomena and others. A special emphasis will be placed on mastering certain computational techniques, the analysis of used approximations and of obtained results
Prerequisites:
The knowledge of mathematics and physics on a university level and of chemistry on a grammar school level is required
