Welcome to the course

A few important details.

This course blog will be the main means of communication between staff and students outside class meetings.

All the course meetings will be in the Interaction room (424) in the Physics Annex (building 6).

There have been requests to shift the 11am monday and wednesday meetings, due to conflict with another course. We will discuss this at the first meeting.

You should start reading the text, Solid State Physics by Aschroft and Mermin. There are multiple copies in the library. You might consider buying it or the book by Marder.

You should also download the computer program Solid State Simulations and familiarise yourself with it since there will be many class exercises that use it.

Read the course profile carefully.

An outline of the key ideas for the first two weeks are here.
