Learning Outcomes
Competences
After successful completion of the course, students are able to describe basic and advanced concepts from the listed areas of solid state physics. They can apply the reasoning and problem-solving methods of physics and transfer them to specific physical systems.

This lecture is methodically complemented by the exercise Einführung in die Festkörperphysik.

Skills Knowledge
Upon completing the course, students learn the following skills. They are able to

  • understand and explain basic concepts and phenomena of solid state physics (k1/k2);
  • formulate and interpret physical laws and theories in a precise and analytical manner (k3);
  • transfer the principles of solid state physics to other advanced physical problems (k3).
During the course, students acquire knowledge in the following areas and concepts of solid state physics:

  • bond types in solids;
  • crystal structures;
  • diffraction on periodic structures;
  • lattice dynamics and phonons;
  • thermal properties;
  • electrons in solids;
  • band model;
  • electronic transport;
  • metals, semiconductors and insulators;
  • dielectric properties;
  • magnetism.
