Updated lecture slides on superconductivity
are available here.
Again, reading chapter 34 of Ashcroft and Mermin is highly recommended (essential).

Draft slides on superconductivity
Here is the current draft version of my Slides for the lectures on superconductivity.
But, they are no substitute for reading chapter 34 of Ashcroft and Mermin.

Notes on magnetic ordering
You can find the notes for today's lecture here. I would also recommend reading Chapter 32 from Ashcroft & Mermin beforehand.

Getting the most out of lectures
The lectures closely follow Ashcroft and Mermin. I suggest that before each lecture you read the suggested part of the text.
The lecture is designed to highlight the key ideas, concepts, equations, and experimental results. There is insufficient time to explain everything in detail, particularly to go through every step of the algebra in every derivation. If you are so inclined you should do this by yourself.
There is also no point in me writing out lectures notes which just say the same thing as what the text says.
You should then re-read the relevant part of the text after the lecture.
Todays lecture will be on Landau's Fermi liquid theory of metals and quasi-particles. The relevant parts of the text are pages 345-351.
My final lectures will be on Superconductivity, covering all of chapter 34.

Lecture slides on electron-electron interactions
Here is are the draft slides for the next few lectures.
At the tutorial on wednesday I will work through the answers to the mid-semester exam.

Lecture on determination of the Fermi surface
Here are draft slides for some of todays lecture which is closely related to Chapter 14 and the beginning Chapter 15 in Ashcroft and Mermin.

Notes on semi-classical transport theory
The notes I will use in today's lecture follow chapter 12 of Ashcroft and Mermin closely.

Lecture notes
You can download a copy of my notes for today's lecture on the similarities between the tight-binding approximation and the Huckel model here.

Slides for electron transport in the Bloch model
Here are the slides for todays lecture.
They need to be read in parallel with chapter 12 of Ashcroft and Mermin.
