Lecturers & Examiners: Prof. em. Dr. Bertram Batlogg
VVZ CR n/a

Last Updated: 2026-02-05 15:07:05

Abstract

The course provides an introduction to solid state physics, covering several topics that are later discussed in more detail in other more specialized lectures.

Objective

Einführung in die Physik der kondensierten Materie

Content

The course provides an introduction to solid state physics, covering several topics that are later discussed in more detail in other more specialized lectures. The central topics are: solids and their lattice structures; interatomic bindings; lattice dynamics, thermal properties of insulators; metals (classical and quantum mechanical description of electronic states, thermal and transport properties of metals); semiconductors (bandstructure and n/p-type doping, quantum Hall effect); magnetism, superconductivity.
