Solid State Physics Course
(Physics 4309-5304) Lectures
Note: These Lectures
(Power Point
format) are under
construction!
A
GOAL
is to post a lecture before we discuss a topic in class,
but I can't promise! If
I succeed, it
might be helpful to download them BEFORE
I
cover the material in class. You can print them, several
slides/page. Rather
than try to take notes on
everything in class, you can follow along on the printed Lectures, making extra notes. Note:
Some files contain Greek &/or
math symbols. Unless you have the proper fonts installed, these won't
be interpreted correctly by your computer! Click Here to see how to

reproduction or use of them other than by students in this
course is allowed! Downloading: Some
files are large! Depending on your connection, this may mean long
download times. It might
be more efficient to SAVE
the file & open it later, rather than open it directly.
Major portions of the
lectures will be from Introduction
to Solid State Physics, by Kittel. Topics will be discussed in approximately
the order as in the table of contents. Unless otherwise stated, the
lecture content is based on material in that
book & chapter numbers refer to it's chapters. Supplemental
material from many
other sources is also
used. When the use of supplemental material is
extensive,
the source of that
material is noted.
