Homework Solutions: I have begun to compile a collection of my homework solutions in classes I've taken in graduate school at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Since course materials for graduate level physics are sometimes hard to find, I make these solutions available in the hopes of assisting those wishing to self-study these subjects.Physics 481 - Condensed Matter Physics: Overview. Course description. Syllabus. Homework. Due date Problem set Solutions; Jan 21, 2011: Homework 1.Overview: This course is intended to provide an introduction to the physics of solids. We will begin by characterizing the properties of static (crystal structure) and dynamic (lattice vibrations) arrangements of atoms. Next we will study electrons in solids and will identify key features distinguishing metals, insulators and semiconductors. Semiconductor devices and, time permitting.

Homework: Homework will be assigned nearly every week, and will be due about one week later, in class. Late homework will not be accepted. However, the lowest homework grade will be dropped. Homework assignments and solutions will be posted.
Text: Steven H. Simon, The Oxford Solid State Basics Course Objectives This course provides an introduction to the physics of solid matter. Solid-state physics, or more broadly condensed-matter physics, is the most active field of contemporary physics, with the most direct impact on modern technology. As well as enabling applications.
Introduction to Solid State Physics (PH575) is a 3-credit introduction to the physics of condensed matter for graduate students in physics, chemistry and engineering areas in which materials science is important. Senior undergraduates in physics will also find the course accessible. Topics include the theoretical basis of the electronic.
