Electronic Theory of Solids Free videos , Free Tutorials , Free Course

COURSE OUTLINE: The course aims to introduce electronic properties of solids starting from a very simple example: the two-atom solid. Building on this, it develops the theory of electrons in an N-atom solid – the band concept and its application to electrical and thermal properties in solids. The novel electronic concepts related to graphene and carbon nanotubes are discussed. The concept of symmetries and their relevance in emergent electronic properties are also outlined.
