Condensed Matter Theory
Lecture contents
Introduction to the theory of solid state and many particle physics. Topics discussed will be:
- Approximations (Mean-field, dynamical mean-field, ligand field, crystal field) and models
- Second quantisation
- Free electron model, tight binding, Green's functions and response functions
- Impurity scattering, surface states and topology
- Weakly interacting electrons and the Hartree-Fock approximation
- Correlations, Mott insulators, Atomic physics and magnetism
- Many particle Green's functions and self energy
Recommended literature

The hand written lecture-notes can be used as a reminder of what we discussed, but should not be your sole source of information. They are written by me as a reminder of what I want to discuss during a lecture. The typed notes are better.
