Scope of Course. Construct
a global framework of knowledge in the vast field of condensed matter
physics, bridge the solid state physics textbook to current frontier of
research. This course introduces you to the main concepts, techniques and
phenomena in this field.
When
& Where: 13:30 on every Tuesday starting from
Feb. 26th in 逸夫科技楼四楼会议室
If I had to travel and cancel certain class, we will arrange an alternate
class at 7:00PM of a weekend in room 202 of the advanced material building
later on.

Outline:
- Introduction and
overview
- Structures, structure
factor, and structure probes
- Multi-electron atom
and molecule
- Ligand field theory
and Molecular orbital theory
- Band theory
- Fermi liquid theory,
linear response theory
- Excitations in solids
- Phase transition,
order parameter
- Ordered phases (charge
ordering, orbital ordering, manganite)
- Magnetism
- Superconductivity,
electron-phonon interaction, BCS theory
- Correlated systems,
Mott insulator, High Tc superconductivity
- Impurity, surface,
interface, artificial structures
We
will teach slowly through this outline, the unfinished part will be continued
in the advanced course: Physics of strongly correlated systems (《强关联体系物理》)

Texts:
- 冯端，金国钧《凝聚态物理学（上卷）》 -- an
excellent introductory book on wide area of condensed matter physics,
available in the bookstore
- P. M. Chaikin
"Principles of condensed matter physics" -- a nice
pedagogical book on ideas of phase transition, correlation functions, 世图版available
in bookstore
- Patrik Fazekas,
"Lecture notes on Electron Correlation and Magnetism"
References
- M. Imada "Metal-insulator
transitions" @ Review of Modern Physics, Vol 70, 1039 (1998)
- Carl J. Ballhausen
"Introduction to Ligand Field Theory"
- The Theory of Quantum
Liquids by D. Pines and P. Nozieres. Excellent
introduction to Fermi liquid theory that avoids the use of field theory.
- Basic Notions in
Condensed Matter Physics by P. W. Anderson. A classic reference. Many of us
still turn to this book for inspiration, and philosophy. It also has a
fine selection of important reprints at the back.
