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

 
  • Ashcroft / Mermin
    Solid State Physics
  • Kittel
    Introduction to Solid State Physics
  • Mattuck
    A guide to Feynman Diagrams in the Many-Body Problem
  • Mahan
    Many particle Physics
  • Majlis
    The Quantum Theory of Magnetism

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.
