This course is an introduction to solid state physics, ranging from electronic properties to the structure of crystalline materials and models of magnetism.

It presents both equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium aspects. The course presents examples of research on the subject in order to underline the rapid development of the area.

Programme
  • Models of free electrons
  • Crystalline structure and reciprocal lattice
  • Electronic structure: crystal potential, symmetries and Bloch theorem, Fermi level, energy bands
  • Transport in electronic gases
  • Semiconductors and metals : band structure and propreties
  • Models of magnetism : exact solutions and links to quantum field theories
