Physique du solide
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
