Course HomepageWelcome to Physics 7440, Theory of the Solid State! This is an introductory graduate-level course in solid state physics, focusing on the electronic properties of solids. For more information on the course and a rough outline of topics to be covered, see the syllabus. Our textbook will be Solid State Physics, by N. W. Ashcroft and N. D. Mermin (referred to as A+M throughout this webpage). You will need a copy, since I will assign reading and some problems in it. Thanks for a good semester. Enjoy your summer! Solutions to the final exam. The final exam is now available, and is due at 5pm on Tuesday 5/6/08. Good luck! Older problem sets and solutions remain available on the assignments page.
