Fall 2020 not offered
Crosslisting: PHYS 558
Course Cluster and Certificates: Integrated Design, Engineering & Applied Science Minor

This course is an introduction to condensed-matter physics with emphasis on fundamental properties of solids. We will explore crystal structure, phonons, and electrons in solids as a basis for understanding the thermal, electronic, and magnetic properties of materials. In addition to lectures and problem sets, there will be several numerical experiments in which computer simulation and visualization tools will be used to explore microscopic properties of materials.
