Requirements / organisational issues:
Solid state Physics deals with the physical principles of a large number of chemically bound atoms in the solid state of matter. The large number of atoms requires new models that are typical for solid state physics. In spite of some approximations, these models allow for a quantitative description of many typical material properties in solid matter. The aim of this lecture is to introduce the most important models and to provide some tools for understanding recent developments in research and technology.

Topics:
- chemical bonds
- crystal structure
- structure analysis by diffraction
- lattice dynamics
- thermal properties
- electronic structure
- semiconductors
- magnetism

Additional information:
Due to the current situation with Covid-19, the Ex5c lectures as well as exercises are going to be online (we will be using Moodle platform).

Lectures
- prerecorded videolectures (via panopto), links will be be posted on moodle platform, and will be accessible till the end of the semester. These will be accompanied by slides, also uploaded to moodle.

In addition to prerecorded lectures, we aim to have several live sessions (via Skype for business or Big Blue Button), where we would reiterate some of the more challenging topics (this depends strongly on your feedback).

Exercises:
-the exercise sheets will be posted on moodle, and then discussed with tutors in small groups via Skype for Business.
